The drug addled Hollywood celeb whose personal life is a long record of broken promises and failed relationships and whose serial bouts with drug and alcohol abuse and revolving door rehab adventures are notorious can redeem all by “standing up” for some exotic, stylish cause. These moral poseurs and dilettantes of virtue are modern versions of those guilt-plagued medieval nobles who built churches and monasteries to ‘atone’ for their careers of bloodshed, oppression and scandal.
Hey, Wally Russ -- Thaddeus McCotter called. He wants his prose style back.

I keep forgetting to mention the cross-posting. But don't miss the Bob Somerby joke. It is incomparable.
Amen.

I Got My Notebooks
I never took a single PoliSci course, but I always had this wacky idea in my head that shitty unemployment numbers were the biggest problem the nation faced in '08, and are the biggest problem we face now, and that over the past two years more should have been done to get the Democrats to be the...
Oh, and:
If they were left-wingers exposing some conservative or religious organization, government-funded or not, the mainstream media would have hailed them as heroic whistleblowers, perhaps worthy of a Time cover.
Yeah -- I've really appreciate those Time cover stories about Jeff Sharlet, Josh Marshall, Greg Palast....

Liberals are worse than the Gestapo, because liberals control the Washington Post, something not even the Gestapo ever managed during the darkest days of the Third Reich. And while the Nazis used mass murder, the liberals use tools more cruel by far: cower before them, for amongst their weaponry...
A minor quibble about an excellent post: Time gave Power Line a blog of the year award in '04, but the Power Tools weren't on the cover. (But not to worry -- it was the Person of the Year issue, and the PotY was George W. Bush, so it was a one-hander for the Tools.)

It's not worth it. Empty the military bases and then just give them the whole fucking South. And then arm the borders to the teeth -- we don't any trouble when their little Libedrtarian Jesusland social experiment turns into a failed state.

Commentary By Ron Beasley Those patriotic Texan's who hate America held a rally today. The turnout for the rally wasn’t huge—200 would be a generous estimate—but it was enough to show how much Perry has helped galvanize and embolden the right wing “hate America” fringe. After all, the governor o...
Not too long ago, conventional wisdom seemed to dictate that gay marriage in America was inevitable. Conservatives, surprisingly, would tell me this more often than anyone.
What's surprising about that? Conservatives always greatly underestimate our side's ability to fuck up the chances for any movement toward social progress.

K-Lo is infatuated with Carrie Prejean. And why not? The magical augmented tits of Carrie Prejean can turn back time. Not too long ago, conventional wisdom seemed to dictate that gay marriage in America was inevitable. Conservatives, surprisingly, would tell me this more often than anyone. But...
Even after the war started, Instacracker was treating casualty claims as inflated and the end of the war as due within days. From his MSNBC blog on April 8, 2003:
The latest Iraqi claim I could find was for 500 civilian casualties and it’s almost surely inflated. Various antiwar groups are claiming to keep count, but their numbers, as several different commentators have observed, appear to be bogus. So I think it’s very possible that Iraqi civilian casualties, too, will turn out to be under 500.

Read It And Weep
by hilzoy Fester at Newhoggers links to a set of right-wing bloggers' predictions for 2003. It's pretty stunning. For instance: If we go into Iraq, how many casualties do you expect to see (on the side of the US and our allies) John Hawkins: "Probably 300 or less" Charles Johnson:"Very few" Henr...
Duuuude! "Freewill" is in multiple time signatures! Parts of it are in 7/4! Can your namby-pamby liberal law professors top that? Hunh?

Professor O'Spades opines on The Majesty of the Law: So, yeah, she's lying. Or else she's so stupid she doesn't even realize she's making a choice about judicial philosophy at all -- like man of the stupid and liberal (BIRM) she is entirely unaware that there is any other philosophy than the one...
Oops -- you can't "read the whole thing." That's because The Arizona Republic figured out this was a press release put out by partisan hacks, not a news story.

Dem. operatives 'far more involved' in voter intimidation
This is pretty damning stuff. All along the Democrats tell us how they are for the little guy and that they want every vote to count. It's a lie. It's a DAMNED lie and it's time we called them on this!!!! This report needs to be rubbed into the face of every lefty that dares to open his or he...
