I know, it sounds difficult to believe – but for some strange reason, the Washington Post seems almost… well, skeptical about the whole “run away from our responsibilities to the Iraqi people and attempt to recreate that entire South Vietnam collapse” thing. In fact, I would go so far as to suggest – maybe, just maybe! – that the WaPo might actually think that this | Read More »
{UPDATE}: Got off the phone with the Russell campaign. They’re reporting that they currently have $270K cash-on-hand, with their expenditures being involved with ballot access (the campaign got the nomination via a write-in ballot), advertising, and direct mail. They also estimate to having had collected enough this month so far to raise their totals above 1 million. Promising news, but by all means: donate. I | Read More »
I don’t know what’s funnier: the essential minimalism of the blindsiding here (amazing what a simple “No, really?” or equivalent can do), or the way that Senator Obama flubbed it. Via Power Line (whose title I almost stole): {Youtube link, for those having problems with it.} Well, I guess that now we know why he won’t debate Senator McCain. Moe Lane
When the Huffington Post calls your behavior towards a news magazine petty. Even if you are a Democrat that’s foursquare against the war despite all rhyme, evidence, and reason. Calibrate accordingly.
Via AoSHQ: See also Wolking’s World Remember, folks: Obama supporters. In all of their glory. Moe Lane PS: Hey, he was the one who chose to ally himself with some of the nastiest organized groups in Western society still unhung. He wants to break with those people, he can do so publicly. Until then, when it comes to Iraq: Not In Your Name, Senator Obama. | Read More »
Hey, that was the actual title and everything. Obama orgy By JOSEPH W. MCQUAID New Hampshire Union Leader Publisher The blatant bias of the major national news media toward Barack Obama is now so overwhelming that it would not be worth noting, except that the election of a President of the United States is involved. It is a propaganda blitz that would make the Kremlin | Read More »
It’s largely unnecessary, but I appreciate it anyway. Today’s amusing little not-ready-for-prime-time comes to us via Ben Smith of Politico, who got forwarded to him – by a reporter who went to reporter school, and everything! – some helpful suggestions by the Obama campaign: Reporters traveling overseas with Sen. Barack Obama were thrown a bit of curve last week when the campaign emailed a “dress | Read More »
Patterico is breaking out his Sesame Street impersonations. Me, I’m more network: You know something? This is clearly an issue that the Democrats need to work out for themselves; and blessed if I know why me, John McCain, or the GOP need to be involved in this any further. So all you Democrats go get the original audiotape, play it until your ears bleed, and | Read More »
Happy 39th Anniversary of the Eagle landing on the Moon …aaannnd here’s something that, while nowhere near as cool, I’m sure that we can all agree this it has its own magic to it: Lastly, this is profane, but I think that it fits the sentiment nicely.
It takes real skill to write a letter this dumb, but – thank God! – we’re talking about the Democratic Party here, so they had somebody on retainer to do it. Via Gateway Pundit and Talking Points Memo: Dear Democratic Friends: 2008 is a Democratic year-at all levels in all the states. The opportunity is ours. We just have to seize it. We experienced an | Read More »
Via Gateway Pundit: Bring it.
One: ….aannnnnnd then Two: http://www.redstate.com/static/redstate/doc/2008/07/18/OBAMATRAVELPACKET.doc I don’t know which is going to tick off Obama supporters more – and truth be told? I can’t say that I remotely care. Hey, it’s not my fault that the Democrats seem ready to nominate a candidate who, if they had cut Hillary Clinton in half, would have ended up being the third most qualified national security choice among | Read More »
Here’s the quote – yes, of course it’s Barack Obama and his apparent Natsec Ignorance Field. You had to ask? Throughout our history, America’s confronted constantly evolving danger, from the oppression of an empire, to the lawlessness of the frontier, from the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor, to the threat of nuclear annihilation. Americans have adapted to the threats posed by an ever-changing world. | Read More »
(Via Hot Air Headlines) The above being the title of a New York Times piece by Clyde Haberman that suggests that hey, maybe some of the folks from the Other Side are getting a little tired, too of their largely self-imposed gag order. You know, they even get it in Dubuque. Better delete the word “even.” Some might find it patronizing. You don’t want to | Read More »
The absolute nerve of the Washington GOP. Jake Tapper has more, including a fairly hysterical (in both the “funny” and “just one step below primal screaming” meanings, although not the “utterly dismissive towards women” one) from Governor Gregoire, who used the phrase “eight years of the most divisive, fear-driven politics this country has ever seen” without visible irony. It’s odd, really. My parents are Democrats, | Read More »
I’m talking about this (via Constant Reader NightTwister and [Allahpundit] (http://hotair.com/archives/2008/07/17/video-hey-remember-when-you-helped-get-us-into-iraq/) ): Well, if you did… he wouldn’t mind some help. The man has an uphill slog.

And let me note in passing that there was a thoroughly mixed-up set of reporting on this by our national media (admittedly, not entirely their fault). In fact, I’m only three-quarters convinced that I have everything reasonably straight now; but this should go up. Here’s what went down. The Obama campaign reports (via Constant Reader CrabCakes) $52 million raised for June; the DNC reports 22.4 | Read More »
