This video by Johnathan Rauch is making the rounds. I think the “starfish” analogy works equally well for the structure of Islamic extremist organizations. That is one of the reasons why it’s seemingly impossible to nail down exactly what a victory in the GWOT would look like. If you kill Bin Ladrn, it not only […]
I first came across this bit of conservative controversy via Sully’s site. I haven’t had time to read everything on it. But, even though me and Patterico had a dust-up earlier this year, I’m on his side on this. It continues to amaze me that, as knowledgeable as Levin is about politics and government, he […]
I don’t know if that’s a real quote, but it’s accurate. This will go over well with the Disney / Johnas Bro’s crowd. Regular adults?… meh, not so much. And am I wrong, but doesn’t her “lust in your heart is committing adultery” bit at about 1:06 minutes in eerily reminiscent of Jimmy Carter’s famous […]
Dang It! I was only going to post old car commercials and only old car commercials this week. I knew I could keep this promise to myself! I find stupid politics and journalism too damned tasty to ignore! Andrew Sullivan posted a commentary by New Yorker columnist George Packer titled “Should the Dream Ever Sour“. […]
Which one do you like better / dislike worse? Some are appalled at the Polar Bear ad. I think, as an ad, it’s OK. The notion that it’s a horrible ad because a Polar Bear, in real life, would rather eat you than hug you, is to me, a silly criticism. It’s a Commercial. Like […]
You know it’s bad times for Obama when Andrew Sullivan is taking notice of the FAIL. Can it be true? Is the most serious Man Crush Of All Time really over?????? Stay Tuned! PS. His Shangri-La has gone away…. PPS. I got Ann-a-lanched…. or Althoused if you will!… And Instalanched!
Obama, frustrated that the economy isn’t doing so good, is going to talk about… Himself! President Barack Obama — facing a buzz saw of bad news — plans to shift his tone on the economy, ditching dry Explainer-in-Chief policy lectures for a more emotional, more personal approach emphasizing his own family’s hardships,… “I think we’ve […]
Of course, many would consider Fox News Channel the first one, but this one is being touted as a first of its kind experiment. It’s called RightNetwork, and it’s partially funded by “Frasier” lead Kelsey Grammer. I don’t think I’ll watch… Too busy. But t’s always nice to see someone putting their money where their […]
The Palin campaign strategy / model – Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk! Listen???? Not so much!!!! Unsurprisingly, Jeff Lord at American Spectator thinks she’s just peachy, and uses the “well, Goldwater and Reagan were attacked too” Defense. Ace Of Spades is not impressed at all. Here is the video where O’Donnell says […]
