The Apologies Roll In

Well, sort of. Hey, it's a start.

Happy Veterans Day

UPDATE: Atlas Shrugs' tribute, Head Bowed.

Found the vid at Sister Toldjah, and it seemed appropriate for the day. My brothers were Marines, so those uniforms have a special place in my heart.

Finally

At least somebody is speaking up:

In general, according to Beigun, Palin had a steep learning curve on foreign issues, about what you would expect from a governor. But she has "great instincts and great core values," and is "an instinctive internationalist." The stories …

What Being Nice Gets Ya'

Utter disdain from the NYT:

The problem, therefore, is clearly that folks on the left don't know how to be good losers, and, as a result, don't understand it when it happens.

Chastised for "negativity" during the election, chastised for a lack of negativity after. …

"Gird Your Loins" Indeed

With news of Obama already assembling a team to evaluate what he can change by executive order immediately upon taking office, and reminders of the Dem plan to take over and "manage" individuals' 401k plans, this seemed especially appropriate:

From a comment at Atlas …

BWAHAHAHA

I heard Carl Cameron once answered his hotel room door in a full Wonder Woman costume

I'm not sayin' it's true, I'm not sayin' it's not. That's just what I heard. And no, I won't tell you who said it. Under the new standard of journalism, it's plausible until proven …

Step Up, Mac

John McCain is coming dangerously close to irredeemably reinforcing my view of him in the primaries. The view that had me supporting almost any of the other candidates over him.

The way he is allowing his staff to attack Sarah Palin, and the way he has left her …

Genius

This one was read aloud to my office mates, tears of laughter all around.

Too bad it's true.

On McCain's Cowardly 'Anonymous' Staffers

WindRider has a great analysis:

I thought McCain

State Your Allegiance

Found this in the comments over at JP:

So, did you vote for "The One", Comrade?

Unintentionally (I suspect) chilling.

Sweet Dreams

I had an odd dream last night.

Al Franken's refusal to accept the results in Minnesota, requiring a recount, exposed bales of fraudulent votes in that race. Californians who dispute the Proposition 8 vote encouraged reevaluating the ballots there with similar results …

Congrats to Obama/Biden

UPDATE: Don't give me crap - this is nothing compared to 2004

Class Act

I wish McCain would have been a bit less polite during the campaign, but this speech was exactly right for the moment.

"Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that. It's natural, …

Financial Question

Obama has won the presidency, so -

Can I stop paying my own mortgage now or do I have to wait until after the inauguration?

Frankly, No

"And I tell you what? Girl-girls are tougher than girl-boys," he said. "But there's one important thing I noticed.The great thing about marrying into a family with five sisters, there's always one that loves you. 'Cause you can count on splitting them a bit. You know …

Palin in 2036

I am loving this picture of Piper.

She sure looks like she has that working, campaigning, traveling thing down.

Piper for Prez

Go Vote!

Grasping the Obvious

Found this comment on a story over at AZ Central:

Aside from that it sounds like you have some problem with spreading the wealth? That must mean that financially things are going really well for you huh? I suppose that as long as it

Hey, Swing States, Are You Aware of This?

You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know - Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal …
