Iraqis Cannot Agree On Constitution?
The Associated Press is reporting: Parliament announced it had no plans to gather Thursday night and no date for a future session, signaling Iraqi factions were failing to agree on a new constitution before a self-imposed midnight target. It’s the "no date for a future session" part that is alarming. It’s one thing if they are negotiating, haggling, horse-trading, or … Read More
Blogenlust’s Guide To Wingnut Logic
This is hysterical and spot-on. I suspect it will be updated often so bookmark it and keep checking back. Blogenlust’s Law: As an online discussion among wingnuts grows longer, the probability that a Clinton will be blamed for something approaches 1 (i.e., certainty). The "Even Clinton Agreed" Corollary to Blogenlust’s Law There is equal probability that a wingnut will point … Read More
Stay And Leave
I’m glad I’m not the only one confused. Bush gave another "stay the course in Iraq" speech yesterday. Which I would expect him to do. But then there’s this story from today’s Financial Times: The US is expected to pull significant numbers of troops out of Iraq in the next 12 months in spite of the continuing violence, according to … Read More
Concept Of Time Eludes O’Reilly
Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, on his show The Radio Factor, August 22, complained that Grandparents Day this year will fall on 9/11: "Now, listen to this. September 11 not only the day of the attack, but it’s Grandparents Day. Can you imagine who made the calendar on Grandparents Day on September 11, what a genius this was?" The answer? … Read More
Mmmmmm . . . Fresca
I love my Sprite "Aruba Jam". Ever since I started looking for a non-caffinated, no calorie soft drink, "Aruba Jam" has become my favorite beverage of choice. I got into Fresca too, but Aruba Jam is even better. Problem is, my stores haven’t been stocking it lately. How come? Could it be a Natalee Holloway thing? Hmmmm. No answers can … Read More
Schilling To Start Tonight
As a closer, he’s been 5-5 with a 6.37 ERA and has had nine saves in 11 chances. Not the best. We need him not only as a starter, but as a starter with the mojo he had last year. C’mon, Curt. Show them your stuff.

Robertson Apologizes For Assassination Remark, Then Defends It
First he said it… Then he lied about saying it (and blamed it on the media)… Then he admitted saying it and apologized on TV… Then he issued an "apology statement", where he apologizes once again… and then endorses assassination! Pat, no kidding. Shut up.
Scientist Observes B.S.
The Discovery Institute has a list of 400 scientists who doubt the central tenets of Darwin’s theory of evolution (or, at least the Discovery Institute says the scientists doubt evolution). Here’s the current Discovery Institute list in PDF format. And here’s a profile on one of those scientists, Robert C. Davidson (he’s on page ten of the above list, 4th … Read More
With Friends Like That…
From The Left Coaster: I hate for facts to get in the way of a Bush rant about the Axis of Evil, but guess which Bush ally in the war on terror admitted today for the first time that it was their country that actually gave Pyongyang uranium hexafluoride and centrifuges? It’s the same ally that is harboring Osama Bin … Read More
In Which I Become A Hypochondriac
I’ve noticed that my tendency to daydream has declined rapidly in the past few years. Not that I ever daydreamed to excess, but in those quiet moments alone at home, my mind would occasionaly indulge itself with flights of fancy. But not so much anymore. I’ve also noticed that my mind is quite as sharp as it once was. Not … Read More
The Other Crazy Pat
WorldNutDaily has an exclusive. The old headline, as reported here, was "Rock Legend Shreds Cindy Sheehan ‘Peaceniks’" but apparently the editors at WND had second thoughts about being on the side of someone involved with rock (aka "the devil’s music"). And who is that "rock legend"? Why, Pat Boone, of course, who became famous for taking songs from black musicians … Read More
Soldiers Are Special
I don’t get it. The rightosphere is all up in arms about a barroom attack in Seattle in which two guys, soldiers who had just returned from Iraq, got savagely beaten. Obviously, any illegal altercation which leaves two men seriously injured is stomach-turning. But sadly, there are probably hundreds of bar fight every day in this country of ours. Why … Read More
