You knew this was coming — at least, that was one of my first thoughts upon seeing the original “Demon Sheep” ad. However, much to my delight, they used a different sequence from “Downfall” than you usually see. Hat tip to Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit. ..bruce w..

This is a long (too long) political ad dealing with the California Senate race. But just hang in there until 2:20 or so, and you will witness something truly priceless. Initial hat tip to Ace of Spades, but you’re going to be stumbling across this thing all over the net for the next few days. [...]

Over 40 years ago, Pete Seeger wrote a song ostensibly about an Army platoon on stateside maneuvers but actually referring to the escalation of the Vietnam War.  Here are the lyrics:
It was back in nineteen forty-two,
I was a member of a good platoon.
We were on maneuvers in-a Loozianna,
One night by the light of the moon.
The [...]

In the fall of 2008, in a political discussion with a friend, she asked if I was worried about Obama being elected. I said no, for various reasons.

Best $200 I ever spent. I’m going to be smiling for days.

In the end, Brown pulled off the upset in large part because he won unaffiliated voters by a 73% to 25% margin. The senator-elect also picked up 23% of [...]

Governor Bill Ritter (D-Colorado), who has been trailing in polls against potential Republican challengers for his re-election this fall, has decided not to run at all, according to this morning’s Denver Post:
Ritter told other Democrats the job was taking a toll on his family and he could not be successful as a father and husband [...]

Go ahead, tell me the good lord does not have a sense of humor.
It looks like a major snowstorm is going to hit DC starting tonight, dumping up to 16″ of snow in the capital. As Webster can attest, DC siezes up with even an inch of snow, and at times in [...]

…can’t trust that day. Or the weekend, apparently. Video above courtesy of Gateway Pundit. Not what George Lucas had in mind, I dare say.
Backlash? What backlash? Once again, the “Serenity” trailer as a metaphor for the growing conservative rebellion. “No. They’re not going to see this coming.”

You know, the massive stimulus that was absolutely necessary to keep unemployment from rising above 8.0%? Kind of missed the target, didn’t it?
Anyone want to guess what unemployment will be in November 2010? November 2012? I’m willing to bet $1000 that it won’t be down to 7.0% and 5.5%, respectively, as the Obama economic team [...]
