I like where this election is heading. This guy has the makings of real fucking leader. Now let's all hope that the 527's don't start running ads with "black face" or comparisons to simian. Where is Karl Rove these days anyway? Is it legal for him to be a TV analyst and do smear ads at the same time?
By all accounts, including Tom Brokaw's, Tim Russert was better at being a son, husband and father than he was at being a journalist. I found it hard not to like Russert. Even when he was letting Dick Cheney blatantly lie to his face without jumping across the table and strangling him. Amongst a cesspool of pariahs, leaches and wannabe journalists Tim Russert was indeed a real journalist and an actual human being. Good work, Tim. Thank you and I will personally miss you every Sunday morning.

The funny people at "23/6" have a video recap of the entire 2008 Primary. The best part... it's only 90 seconds long.

This radio address might make it sound like it 2003 all over again and those whiny traitorous Democrats in congress are trying to take away your guns and let Osama babysit your children... but alas it is not 2003. Others have disagreed with our president's stance on the issue. http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15801.html
I guess it all comes down to what your definition of "support" means. According to bipartisan group of 59 senators it means giving the troops a better salary and sending them to college. Clearly this is the "irresponsible," part of the funding to which Jorge referred to in his speechification.
Ya know, I can kind of see his logic on this one. Why would you want to reward young men and women who've voluntarily spent three years of their lives defending democracy in a shit-hole barren desert wasteland filled with violent, angry citizens that don't want them there anymore?
I mean all these soldiers have had to do is endure multiple tours of 120 degree heat while simultaneously living in fear of the people they are trying to protect. Yeah, fuck those guys. No college or job training for you. Sorry staff sergeant, your wife will have to wait for that next check because KBR needs another tax break even though they've moved there corporate headquarters out of the country.
Is it safe?! Is it... over? How... when ... can it be true?!!!!
I'll believe this shit when her name isn't on the ballot in November. A complete recap of, "Primacaucus 2008: The Bludgeoning," is forthcoming.
