What we've got here is a failure to communicate...

Great line. And I'll miss the subject of it.

From today's New York Times.

By way of introduction, the article, on page 1 of the World section, is written by Dexter Filkins. Mr. Filkins is no novice to Iraq, he actually lived there for three years after Saddam went away so he knows from whence he speakith. And please, read the whole article. It's a fairly long read, but you'll savor every second of it.

So far in the general election campaign racism has only come up tangentially. In the primary campaign it was hauled out to successfully silence America's First Black President when the going got tough.

With a tip of the hat to Mark Steyn, the smartest guy in Canada, from The Guardian...

The feeling is familiar. I had it four years ago and four years before that: a sinking feeling in the stomach. It's a kind of physical pessimism which says: "It's happening again. The Democrats are about to lose an election they should win - and it could not matter more."

Rudy and Governor Palin really REALLY struck a nerve with the sensitive Left on Wednesday.

First came the whining. Now comes the bumper stickers.

First things first. I'm just fine with Sarah Barracuda. I trust she'll make a fine VP and if necessary, a good President.

And I could write the above for any one of the medium list of candidates that McCain had to choose from.

I have a really hard time expressing both my surprise and my gratitude to John McCain and his campaign for the great job they're doing taking Obama apart every time he opens his smarmy mouth.

Some folks can't seem to understand why others of us won't stand for a bill on immigration reform that address both "immigration status" and border security at the same time. The answer comes from Tucson, AZ.

We can thank God that the Democrats selected the most stupid people they could find for Congressional leadership positions. If Harry & Nancy were even half wits they would be looking at a 49 state sweep for BO and majorities in excess of 65% in both the House and Senate. Why? Because this President is absolutely the worst excuse for a politician ever to see the light of day.

One of my biggest concerns about McCain is his reliance on comity and his friendship with members of the opposition. I'm concerned that he doesn't understand that the war we're in includes the elected members of the Democratic Party and his desire to run an "issues" campaign will ignore the facts on the ground.

I feel better today...

The Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts decided that homosexuals should be able to marry. Conservative commentators have had a lot to say about the issue and specifically as it relates to the rights of the various other States to recognize marriage.

That flapping and squawking sound you're hearing is the chickens coming home to roost. Kind of like the swallows coming back to Capistrano. Heh.
