  Suburban Guerrilla — Authority: 663
  As Wanda Sykes might say, “I am so damned sick of these @#!*# Democratic snakes on this @#!*# plane!” Yes, once again, ConservaDems are holding a gun to the head of progress.

  Well! I guess it depends on who you ask: The Supreme Court on Monday declined to revive a lawsuit on behalf of Native American activists who claimed that the Washington Redskins’ team name is so offensive that it does not deserve trademark protection. The court without comment refused to get involved in the ...

  Suburban Guerrilla — Authority: 663
  Nouriel Rubini ( via ): So we can expect that job losses will continue until the end of 2010 at the earliest. In other words, if you are unemployed and looking for work and just waiting for the economy to turn the corner, you had better hunker down. All the economic numbers suggest this will take a while.

• Flashback: Obama Wants Military Tribunals for KSM

  
  Stop The ACLU — Authority: 706
  This is pretty much obligatory , cuz its everywhere else. I’d hate to be the only blog that doesn’t have this video. While the ACLU pops the cork, do you think public outrage will be enough that we will see a walk back on this? Related: President Obama Urges Congress To Halt Ft. Hood Probe President ...

  Suburban Guerrilla — Authority: 663
  And the Democrats are doing what, exactly, about this ? Do the Republicans want the economy to get worse , hoping it means they’ll sweep the mid-terms?

  Suburban Guerrilla — Authority: 663
  Saw this in one of the local papers: “[Specter] does not support increasing troop levels in Afghanistan, unless the mission can be directly tied to eliminating Al-Qaeda. That puts him in fairly direct opposition to his foe in the Democratic primary, Rep. Joe Sestak.” Turns out they’re right. Arlen’s ...

  I would love to tell you the rest of what he said, but I can’t. Click here. There’s a persistent delusion, on the part of many pundits, to the effect that we’re actually having a rational political discussion in this country. But we aren’t.

  You’ll know it was because of this. Now, I already fixed the article in question. Did it as soon as I got the letter, even talked on the phone to the person from the Times who sent the letter. So I don’t know why the hosting service is sending this. But it’s late and I’m going to bed. So if I’m not here in ...

  -By Warner Todd Huston Just hearing her name causes me pain and normally I wouldn’t waste a minute’s time worrying about what this vacuous little child has to say on much of anything — as is evidenced by the fact that this is the first time my keyboard has shuddered out her name.
