This is a great U2 song – from a great U2 moment in their energy sucking Zoo-TV tour. The Fly, contains the line, “it’s no secret that a liar won’t believe anyone else.” I always think of that in an election season. And Barack Obama, if he wants to show a little good faith, should apologize for calling these Right-to-Lifers “liars”. I’m so sick of politics, aren’t you? Nevertheless…here are some interesting links. Happily, Bill Whittle is great here with... Read more
Oh, I want to meet this wonderful-sounding workaholic Border Collie, who rounds up the sheep and holds a grudge against a donkey! We love Border Collies, here. Ours is getting older now, and a bit stiff in the hips and legs. She and I both hobble when the humidity is high and the clouds are low. I would do anything for my best pal, and she would do anything for me, except stop shedding her gorgeous and vacuum-killing coat. Our... Read more
Bio here Paul Newman was awarded and Oscar for “The Color of Money,” a not memorable 1986 film. It was one of those “make-up” Oscars, given to an actor who should have won earlier, several times, but never did, an “body of work – sorry we forgot you” award. I always thought his work in Cool Hand Luke, or Hud, or even Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was better. Lots of film clips available at You Tube, of course,... Read more
Ann Althouse is <a href="http://althouse.blogspot.com/2008/09/live-blogging-big-debate.html" liveblogging the debate.. So is STACLU and Ace. I frankly don’t have the energy for hyper-live-blogging as I did with the convention. I may pop in a remark here and there, but check back for reaction roundups! May the best man win; and no games, please. CNN has piecharts with instant pundit feedback. I hate that. Let’s allow people to think about their own reactions before they have to process gasbag reactions! Does Obama think... Read more

I’m sorry, I have to ask it: is this economic crisis for real, or is it an already-bad situation being exploited and played up as far, far worse than it needs to be, for political purposes? I am starting to disbelieve some of this. Just as I have repeatedly said that I disbelieve the “global climate crisis” because the people shrieking about it are not behaving as they should in a “crisis,” it seems to me the people making the...

As I did in the beginning of Palin-mania, we’ll keep a running thread going with links far and wide, constantly updated, newest posts just below the rant, so keep checking back! Watch the video first! (H/T) EARLY RANT: (Scroll past this for latest updates) I need to first opine that the Democrats yesterday blew my mind with their last-minute addition of 56 billion to the bail-out, their sneaky, slippery attempt to play political games with some of this money –...

I’m sorry, this just cracked me up. The press is writing headlines quoting Sen. Obama like he’s suddenly leading the way on finding a solution to the financial crisis. Until Bush called him back to Washington, he didn’t even want to deal with it. It’s just funny, that’s all. Laugh. Read more
I write below about the egregious, execrable Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, and the epic lack of character and utter creepiness of being that he exhibited in exploiting the distraction of a serious crisis to sneak into new legislation a ban on oil shale mining. The execrable Harry Reid is a fiend. While we’re facing gasoline and home heating oil shortages for this winter and who knows how far into the future, he’s still playing games, still working to make... Read more
It’s hard to pin down exactly who I dislike the most in Washington, but when I think about it, Harry Reid is the usually the first name that comes to my mind. In fact, I’m sorry to say this but what usually pops into my head is “the execrable Harry Reid.” I know, I use that word too often. But in 2005 Harry Reid actually dared to tell America that an 11 year old boy had looked up to him... Read more
