You see, the video for Duran Duran‘s Hungry Like The Wolf isn’t embeddable, and honestly this is a better version merely by having Bruce Campbell in it:
You know how that goes.

…this is still probably the greatest South Park episode that was ever made.
At least, it’s easily my favorite.
So. The Left has gone from “We must elect Barack Obama to the Presidency so that He may unleash His awesomeness upon the country, and make everything better” to “We must convince Barack Obama to not run for re-election so that He may… unleash His awesomeness upon the country, and make everything better.”
This is progress, I guess?
It’s also just not going to happen. Everybody else is linking to this American Narcissus post by Jonathan Last, so I might as well, too. After reading, you may be forgiven for deciding that people might as well get used to the idea that the only way that President Obama is not going to be the Democratic nominee in 2012 is to have somebody beat him in the primary. Fortunately – for the GOP – there’s a PERFECT liberal candidate for that sort of thing. He’s even going to be looking for work next year!
Hope that helps.

…because their authors’ have decided to use Twitter to say all the filthy political stuff that they don’t dare say on their front page.
And I liked Questionable Content, too. but I’m not going to pretend that it’s proper to make jokes about anally raping female conservative politicians.
I’m not… appalled: this is minority-party business, and as such is not likely to interfere with the real business of the House anyway. But… wow. Just… wow. They’re going to short-circuit the looming Hoyer/Clyburn Minority Whip fight by giving Clyburn an extra-special new #3 position, just for him! No word on the duties, privileges, job description, or even the name of said position (I suggest Super-Magical Double-Rainbow Space Pony Universe Champion, but that’s just me) – but it’s definitely the #3 slot!
The real question is: is this an opportunity to go after Hoyer (and thus what remaining House ‘moderates’ still survive) by putting Clyburn into a position to weaken the Whip’s job? Or is this yet another instance where Pelosi and her party demonstrates the soft bigotry of lowered expectations by giving the senior African-American Democrat* in Congress a meaningless title (while making sure that Clyburn stays in his assigned place in the Democratic party’s hierarchy)? I could see it going either way… or maybe the Democratic leadership just doesn’t care enough about either group to favor one above the other. Which would honestly not surprise me in the slightest, honestly.

*I’ll have to get used to distinguishing between Democratic and Republican African-Americans in Congress now, I guess. Aw, shucks.
…well, no, not really. But there is something to be said for the knowledge that you know something that somebody else doesn’t know that you know.
But it should be NIGYYSOB.
Reversing the fiscal insanity that’s been unleashed upon us by the Democratic party would be a good thing, even if it means that some politicians lose their jobs. I am completely in favor of this policy. I think that I want to take this policy in hand and make sure it’s eating properly. In fact, I have a list of Senators whose firing in 2012 would be an excellent start along the lines that Conrad has proposed: Continue reading Sen Kent Conrad (D, ND) & I agree!
…I think that I’m going to lie down for a bit.
I have to admit, I’m with Ed Morrissey here. If you’re the President and you’re in a foreign country during the week where they’re having their equivalent of Veteran’s Day, you say nice things about their veterans. Granted, President Obama shouldn’t be in Indonesia this week; he should be in the USA, answering questions about why he’s pursuing a domestic policy agenda that the American people voted last week to have dragged out into a field and set on fire. But since he’s there, it’s nice that at least he’s not causing a minor international incident. For a change.
Ah, how low the bar has been set for this man…
Nancy Pelosi, on how having an 33% approval rating and her face on every Republican ad for the past year had nothing to do with the Great Shellacking:
“We didn’t lose the election because of me,” Ms. Pelosi told National Public Radio in an interview that aired Friday morning. “Our members do not accept that.”
Well, the Democratic Members of Congress who will still have jobs in January might not accept that. The rest… are dead to Nancy, anyway, so their opinion doesn’t really signify.

PS: Nancy Pelosi for House Minority Leader. We’d like to circle around for another strafing run.
