If you caught our feckless leader's radio address last Saturday, you were treated to one of the worst examples of chutzpah and selective outrage in the history of American politics. Which is obviously saying a lot.

Now, what did we say about letting Rethugs run stuff? Oh, well, a reprint of history is in works, as the FDIC....is circlin' the wagons, Jethro!

More after the break....

I'd swear, but then, it makes sense: The Rethugs are doing Windowpane or Purple Haze. Must be. Must be LSD-25 making their mouths say such unbelievable stuff as of late!

John McCain has expressed his opinion that he is not against the U.S. remaining in Iraq even for 100 years, noting that the real issue is casualties during our stay, not simply that we stay. And he sees plenty of reason for hope in the conditions in Iraq following our troop surge. That's fine for McCain distant view from the presidential race here in America (and the view does not seem to have hurt him too much among the Republican primary voters). But how do Iraqis feel about these things?

Nuts. Absolute nuts, I think. Finally, the MSM is waking up to what me, you and everyone else already knows: The recession is here, like it, lump it, shoot it, cook it, kill it, eat it.

And the monkey that became president? Still doesn't get the joke.

I'm the example in a new BusinessWeek article on small donors in political campaigns, who apparently have less impact than we think.

On Jan. 17, 1998, Matt Drudge reported that Newsweek had spiked Michael Isikoff's story about President Clinton's sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky, the first shot in the war between the corporate and cautious culture of mainstream journalism and the completely batshit blogosphere.

Just a cute and short, nasty, of course, take on some recent news, and after the break, we'll play!

Okay, let's accept for the moment that Dr. Ron Paul, candidate for the Republican nomination for President, is not, was not, and will not be a racist on the personal level. I'm willing to accept the word of the head of the NAACP branch in Austin, TX to that effect. Let's also accept that such candidates are not personally responsible for which groups of people choose to support them. That still leaves me with the question, "Exactly why is it that so many racists find Paul such an attractive candidate?"

During last night's South Carolina Republican debate, Fox News moderators were tough on Rep. Ron Paul, most notably when journalist Carl Cameron asked him an incredibly derisive question.
