The (Artificially Tanned) Hockey Mom
I wonder how many so-called “hockey moms” have $35,000 private tanning beds installed in their homes. I really didn’t know that an artificial tan was part of the look, but I guess if you’re from a northern latitude and are vain enough, you’d find some way between schlepping kids to practices and games and grilling [...]
So what if there’s an economic meltdown…
… Carlos Zambrano threw the Cubs’ first no-hitter in 38 years yesterday, beating the Astros 6-0. Will the 100-year World Series Curse actually be broken this year? No comment.
“In what respect, Charlie?”
Just in case you missed the classic example of bullshitting through one’s ignorance that McPalin displayed on national television last night, here it is one more time:
Now read Tony Sachs’s analysis why it’s smart to be dumb and cringe some more….
McCain on Mayoral and Gubernatorial Experience
“I have had a strong and a long relationship on national security, I’ve been involved in every national crisis that this nation has faced since Beirut, I understand the issues, I understand and appreciate the enormity of the challenge we face from radical Islamic extremism.

The “L-word”
No, not “love” — that other “L-word” that Obama has been reluctant to use in public to characterize what continues to come from McPalin’s mouth. You know, the big talk about being a fiscal reformer, opposing pork-barrel spending, hating taxes, opposing bilking taxpayers unnecessarily, being a “maverick,” etc. ad nauseum. Finally, the Obama campaign is [...]
Just in case you lost track
I promised to offer one-stop shopping on the vetting of Sarah Palin, but sheesh — there’s just too much to keep up with and to keep straight. For a convenient reckoning of all that’s out there until now (who knows what another 24 hours may bring), just read this. That should keep you busy for [...]
If you can’t get the real thing…
Hunter at Daily Kos turned up this beaut: at least two photos of African-Americans that showed up on that distracting, awful Big Screen (you know, the one where there was a photo of the Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood for no apparent reason except as a big SNAFU (an acronym that I’m sure war [...]
