Stuper Tuesday – Obligatory Post

Stuper Tuesday – Obligatory Post

| February 4, 2008 | 3 Replies

Tomorrow is “Super Tuesday” as they call it, the one day where the majority of the nominating delegates for each party are chosen on a single day. This year it’s larger than ever, with several states having moved their primary voting up to February 5th to play a relevant part in selecting the party’s presidential […]

…the more it’s deja vu all over again. Or something: Watch it quick before YouTube gets a take-down notice. I don’t know who Steve Adams is (though you can see his website here), but the sentiment of the video is strikingly apt. Hat tip to (wait for it) Mormon Mommy Wars. . UPDATE: You can […]

Election: Kennedy / Clinton Cartoon

Election: Kennedy / Clinton Cartoon

| January 29, 2008 | 1 Reply

From the New York Post’s page 6 section, this gem of a cartoon that sums up the effect of this week’s endorsement of Illinois Senator Obama by Senator Kennedy, while at the same time lampooning Kennedy and Clinton. With the Republican race now looking more and more like the Mac & Cheese express, I once […]

There’s a reason why we Americans still have an inferiority complex when it comes to British diction, erudition and (to a certain extent) humor: Can you name one, even one member of the US Congress who could write and deliver a speech such as the one given by William Hague above? Sigh. Hat tip to […]

…but this video of outtakes while anchoring in New Hampshire makes her downright likable: Doesn’t mean that I’m going to start watching CBS Evening News, though. I haven’t watched network evening news since David Brinkley retired or thereabouts. Hat tip to Suitably Flip. ..bruce w..

Posted by Frank J over at IMAO: A reader of the Corner sent in an idea that I think was a pretty good suggestion: The Republicans stop their feuding and their fighting and combine announcing Fred Thompson as president, Mitt Romney as Vice President, McCain as Secretary of Defense, and Giuliani as Secretary of Homeland […]

Broken Primaries – Suggested Alternatives

Broken Primaries – Suggested Alternatives

| January 9, 2008 | 2 Replies

I have been highly critical of the manner in which the US Presidential primaries are being conducted for the 2008 elections. In part because I believe, especially this time, that they are organized in such a way (and covered by the media in such a way) that the resulting nominee might be un-electable. It’s quite […]

Front Loading Primaries – Bad Idea?

Front Loading Primaries – Bad Idea?

| January 8, 2008 | Reply

For reasons that I don’t understand, the polito-tards decided to shove the primaries as early as they could in 2008. This is going to cause 2 really unfortunate things: 1) The Primaries will turn into “American Idol – The President” – A larger portion of Americans care less about the important issues we all face.

…historians and social anthropologists will still be mining “The Simpsons” for insights into 20th/21st Century civilization. But apparently not via YouTube — the clip I linked to disappeared (“We’re sorry, this video is no longer available”) just a few hours after I posted it. Ah, well. Anyway, hat tip to Eschaton while it lasted. ..bruce […]

You’ve heard about the Clinton-crying-in-New-Hampshire incident — now see the footage: Hat tip to PowerLine. UPDATE! The clip below is frankly more entertaining (in any sense) and better-acted than the one above — pretty sad (but not surprising) when Andrew Lloyd Weber gets upstaged by “some random chick on YouTube”: Hat tip to The Jawa […]
