Talking Points Memo is one of only a few blogs I read every morning while perusing the “real news”. In his inaugural column for Time.com, TPM’s Josh Marshall touches on what has been a recurring theme here.
The “tell” in this case was the date. The FBI got wind of this plot last […]
Today’s essential conservative commentary from National Review’s The Corner:
MARINE SPACE PLANE [Jonah Goldberg]
I like it! Particularly if the Marines inside get batwings and lasers. It seems an obvious point to me that flying space Marines would be a valuable contribution to the arsenal of democracy.
That would be kewl!
Which reminds me…
Aired December 5, 2003 - […]

The whole The New York Times wants to destroy America episode has really become appalling. For obvious reasons, the crowd which presided over perhaps the greatest national security failure in American history is […]
Just try to parse her latest without having a seizure. I dare you. In fact, I’m begging you.
I’ll summarize for the benefit of those without ready access to their medication:
Hillary Clinton is an asexual robot. In contrast, George W. Bush is a deeply compassionate man who “would breastfeed the military if […]
I guess it is an election year. This will shortly be dusting off far more significant keyboards than mine, so I’ll note the following without commentary and await the clamor: CNN is now publishing commentary under the byline of James “SpongeBob - is - a - tool - of - the - […]
As much fun as it might be to jump all over Rush Limbaugh’s latest brush with the great, gangling arm of the law (”talent on loan from Pfizer” springs immediately to mind), it seems to me that, obvious hypocrisy and trivial controlled substance law infractions notwithstanding, what prescription medications the man ingests ain’t nobody’s business […]
Remember Vietnam Veterans For The Truth? They ran that KerryLied.com site. They’re back, this time with clever new web sites like MurthaLied.com and BootMurtha.com.
You see, Congressman Murtha (D-PA) has actually criticized the President’s increasingly popular war. Worse yet, last year he introduced a House resolution advocating withdrawal of our troops from Iraq, […]
Well, butter my butt an’ call me a biscuit:
Missouri voters say they’re willing to spend more tax dollars to restore Medicaid coverage to 90,000 residents, and strongly support increasing the state’s minimum wage for workers.
They also continue to overwhelmingly embrace a ballot proposal that would protect many forms of embryonic stem cell research, and one […]
The Vice President is mad as hell, and he’s not going to take it anymore:
“What I find most disturbing about these stories is the fact that some of the news media take it upon themselves to disclose vital national security programs, thereby making it more difficult for us to prevent future attacks against the American […]
Some people really do believe that you can market anything. Remember: independent studies have shown that Crapesse™ brand shampoo’s unique blend of natural botanicals and mineral-rich fruit bat guano makes hair up to five times stronger, and you shouldn’t blow people up:
June 20, 2006 - Remember the egg, the frying pan and the […]
Way to elevate the discourse, Rush:
I perused the liberal, kook blogs today, and they are happy that these two soldiers got tortured. They’re saying, “Good riddance. Hope Rumsfeld and whoever sleep well tonight.”
That is simply disgusting. Period.
Today’s challenge to my fellow kooks: Please cite any liberal blogger — or, for that matter, any* […]
The zone is spinning too fast and I want to get off:
O’Reilly: Now to me, they’re not fighting it hard enough. See, if I’m president, I got probably another 50-60 thousand with orders to shoot on sight anybody violating curfews. Shoot them on sight. That’s me President O’Reilly […]
The AP recently interviewed Bill Maher about his new half-hour weekly Internet broadcast, “Amazon Fishbowl.”
As usual, Maher’s political commentary was right on:
AP: How much do you think Ralph Nader is to blame for the current political situation?
Maher: I don’t blame Ralph Nader at all. Please. The people who are to blame are the Democrats […]

That’s that new emo-jazz group, right?UPDATE: Post title changed because the original was was even dumber, if you can believe that. My apologies to the RSS types.

The GOP still thinks it’s your mommy:
Complaining that television and radio shows in recent years have “too often pushed the bounds of decency,” President Bush signed legislation yesterday to escalate dramatically the penalties against broadcasters who violate federal standards.
“The language is becoming coarser during the times when it’s more likely children will be watching television,” […]

Yesterday, Governor Blunt’s communications director had Fired Up! Missouri blogger and former Governor Mel Carnahan staffer Roy Temple escorted from a bill-signing ceremony by capitol police.
When asked by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch why he had ordered Temple removed from the ceremony, Blunt’s staffer offered a, well, provocative explanation.
Have you ever noticed that the self-righteous wingnuts who protest the loudest always turn out to be nothing more than hypocritical wind bags?
I haven’t. I was just wondering if you have.

For the benefit of those without television access, I have prepared a rush “transcript” of the last 2-1/2 hours of CNN’s breaking news coverage of events on Capitol Hill:
DARYN KAGAN: Continuing our live coverage, and as we first reported two hours ago, we know absolutely nothing. Let’s bring […]
The Iran hawks have dusted off their Iraq war playbook.
Here’s an except from chapter one:
In order to gain popular support for your pet war, it’s necessary that you lie about the country you’d like to attack. When the lie is discovered, keep lying. Remember: If you lie long and loud enough, […]
IMPORTANT ADVISORY: Stephen Colbert is a comedian whose television persona is a caricature of right-wing media personalities. See also, satire, parody.
I jest, of course. Everyone knows that, right?
→ Nope. ←
(Via Atrios).
Joe Scarborough invited Senator John Ensign (R-NV) to appear on this evening’s show to describe how those who criticize the war in Iraq — particularly film makers and politicians — undermine national security and advance the cause of the radical Islamic terrorists we’re fighting in the global war on terror.
Regrettably, Mr. Scarborough failed to ask […]
In this week’s cover story, Time magazine ponders whether anyone will buy the Dixie Chicks’ — ahem, I mean Radical Chicks’ — new release because, you know, they were kind of critical of the President an’ all when being kind of critical of the President an’ all wasn’t cool (sorry!):
Dixie Chicks in the line of […]

The news media can’t get enough of the rampaging alligators bit. I’d imagine that bears and sharks are enjoying the peace and quiet.
I’m not sure why, but this story completely cracked me up — especially the last line.
Perhaps I need to do a better job of remembering to take my medication.

I can’t believe that even FOX News viewers still buy this day old tripe:
RUMSFELD: And there’ve always been people who have looked at the problems and they’re real problems, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying its a pretty picture. It isn’t a pretty picture. Its a tough business, and our guys over there [in […]
Via Harris Online, I learn that I am not the only “Countdown” fan growing tired of the “my producers made me do this story” shtick.
Don’t get me started on Rita Cosby.
