Wow. This is just mind-boggling:
Couric: In preparing for this conversation, a lot of our viewers … and Internet users wanted to know why you did not get a passport until last year. And they wondered if that indicated a lack of interest and curiosity in the world.
Palin: I’m not one of those who maybe came [...]

Holy Crap!
Chris Wallace took Rick Davis (McCain campaign manager) to the woodshed and smacked him around on FNS today…and in an honestly “fair and balanced” manner, then smacked Dick Durbin around (and Eddie Haskel then talked about how much profit we want to “let oil companies make”…feh)
That’s gotta be a first.

William Saletan has an amazing article over in Slate (a site I rarely agree with, except for Prudie, who I read religiously) on how the L.A. City Council is banning the construction of fast food joints in economically distressted neighborhoods.
While their intent may be good (helping people eat better), franking their methods are too nanny-state [...]
Apparently SCOTUS rulings don’t apply in Chicago

Hizzonner is PISSED at SCOTUS for their ruling in District v. Heller. And, as any good tin pot dictator does when they don’t like how a court has ruled against them, he’s chosen to simply ignore the ruling…and not only ignore it, but throw up all sorts of FUD around it…to wit:
“What does a policeman [...]

What part of this quad of chairs say, “less than business class?”
Because according to the US Air Force, they’re “less than business-class standard” and “really not that nice.”
Huh…well let’s compare!
Here’s Sinagpore Air’s First class seat:
Here’s UAL’s:
And here’s AA’s:
Well he is right that it’s not B-Class, it’s definately First-compariable.
Matthew’s questions for Senator Clinton at the ABC Debate

That debate was a travesty…it was a pile-on-Barack dog-pile. What the hell were Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos thinking? Rightly so, the debate is getting panned in the reviews and the talk of the Sunday shows. It’s a shame to see such a serious subject, the picking of a nominee, turn into farce.
That being said, [...]
