NOT EVEN A BONE FOR THE NETNUTS
Taking pleasure in another’s discomfort is not very grown up of me . . ."
No, neither is saying "I toldja so." Which I did. Toldja he would make centrist, pragmatist, moderate picks and govern from the center.

WILL NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE KILL CONSERVATISM?
National Health certainly killed conservatism in the UK. Which is why Margaret Thatcher never became Prime Minister.

OOGEDY-BOOGEDY AND BIBBIDI, BOBBIDI, BOO
It's a pretty wide chasm. People just trying to make a buck on the one hand and people who think Adam had pet names for his favorite dinosaurs on the other. People who worry about Al Qaeda, North Korea, Iran and Pakistan on the one hand, and people who worry that two men might get married on the other.
It's not just a question of issues, but of motives, interests, culture, epistemology. The sleek hedge fund manager doth not lie down with the pompadoured preacher.
I'm glad to see the GOP civil war well and truly begun. But since I like you, Rick, I have some personal advice on surviving: if a guy named Pickett yells "charge," pretend to twist your ankle.

I hate to suggest anything so crazy, but maybe Obama just thinks she'd be a good choice for the country. Maybe he's so confident he isn't worried about 2012, or about Hillary's ambitions.
That being said, she can't afford a failure at State and she can't succeed unless she has Obama's confidence. Her ambition is his guarantee. If she gets out of control he moves FP into the White House and isolates her. She'll look small and pitiable. If she earns his trust and has some successes both Obama and HC rise together.
Don't underestimate Obama. If there's one thing he's shown he can do it's assemble a winning team.

Chuck's right. Get a Mac. A couple of weeks with a Mac you'll find your thought process becoming clearer. Two months and you'll be a Democrat.

SUCKLING THE GOVERNMENT SUGAR TIT
I think we need a bail out for underperforming blogs. Just think how many people will be thrown out of work if I have to cancel my blog. Okay, none. But it's the principle of the thing! The principle being, "Where's mine?"

DON'T YOU WISH YOU WERE A FLY ON A WALL?
I have a feeling that Bush will be very gracious. Laura certainly will be. And I suspect Obama will keep it humble. No real basis for believing that, just an instinct.

OBAMA BRAGS ABOUT BANKRUPTING COAL POWER PLANT COMPANIES
That'll teach West Virginia to go red.

WHAT MIDDLE AMERICA THINKS OF THE ELECTION
Besides, I'm sick of Middle America. Whatever happened to Top America and Slightly Off-Center America?
I'm so punchy from reading polls. This has got to end now. I no longer care who wins, just make it end.

Obama's sitting at 50% or better in pretty much every poll. And every poll aggregator has him at 311. That's not good for your boy. Not impossible. But then again, it's not impossible that I'd lose 30 pounds, run a marathon and have an affair with Angelina Jolie.
No. I think there is a better than 10% chance you would have an affair with Angelina Jolie. In that sense, you beat McCain.
