I’d want to blame it on booze, at least.

NPR’s Ron Schiller: Ot-nay oo-tay ight-bray.
This is, after all, what writer Neal Stephenson calls “The Age of Scrutiny:” there is no such thing as a private conversation or opinion any more. Like that fact or hate it, but you must accept it: too many cameras, too many people who can afford them, and data storage just gets cheaper and cheaper. It is also an age that has elevated hypocrisy to the first rank of sins; better by far to be a forthrightly unpleasant person in public than to be one who is unpleasant in private, but who never acts on it in public. Combine the two, and hi-jinks ensue.

Well, *that* was embarrassing.
I wonder what they were talking about. Completely safe for work, by the way.

#rsrh Your 2010 election video metaphor of the day.
In the House, at least. Well, the House and the state legislatures. And the governorships, I guess. Shoot, let’s just stretch the point and make it cover the entire blessed thing.
But remember! This time, the Democrats were forewarned and ready to avoid another 1994.
…yeah, not so much.

From the Left’s pro forma counter-protest against Glenn Beck’s honoring of MLK Saturday:
Are you shocked that the Purple People Beaters can’t even spell “American?” You are? Really? Cool. I miss that level of innocence, sometimes.

Before you ask, I’m amused, not incensed:
Via the indispensable Barack Obama’s Teleprompter’s Blog.
Primarily because I never had to worry that individuals like this would use my political faction’s rhetoric and, you know, mean it. There’s something relaxing about knowing that every group of utter scoundrels in Western civilization still left unhung hate you and everything that you stand for; in fact, it’s invigorating. I sincerely hope that the Obama administration finds itself in the same situation Real Soon Now.

A helpful suggestion and a question for the President
Since he’s apparently having quite the problem with filling the position, what with the pay-for-play and the lack of vetting and the clumsy attempts at looked-good-on-paper political stratagems. Anyway, here’s the suggestion: Why don’t you just abolish the Commerce Department? After all, your last pick thought that it was a good idea, and you thought his judgment was sound, right? I mean, I’d hate to think that you were too intellectually incurious to actually know that about Senator Gregg.
As for the question: given that you’re probably going to go with having a Democrat back in the position – although I hear that the Libertarians would quite like a go – I was wondering whether you were going to trust him or her with the Census gig?
