Karl Rove Looks in the Mirror
He’s on Hannity, talking about Obama: He’s a “cold, hard, calculating politician.”
Anderson Cooper — From Katrina to “Bubbles”
I made the mistake of tuning into CNN just now (10:27 p.m ET). Anderson Cooper was teasing the next segment while signing off for a break.
There was a time when Anderson showed signs of being a real reporter; a real journalist. Remember him in New Orleans?
Spectacular.
Today? After the break? “Bubbles.”
Twitter – Tweets and Re-Tweets
I not a Twitterer — yet – but I’m fascinated by it. So is this guy, who dissects the linguistics of re-Tweets.
Has California Been Terminated?
It’s going to be interesting to see what happens next. The state has “one more day” before it starts paying the bills with IOU’s instead of cash.
(Remember how Aaaaanold was going to ride in and save the day? Meow. (California’s collapse is complicated and was a long time coming, but I just couldn’t resist being snarky for a sec.)
Amazing, Scary Figures

Sarah Palin Denigrates the American Flag
Check out the slideshow from the current issue of Runners World which contains an article about Sarah Palin. Note the first picture, in which she is holding Trig (thrusting him into the spotlight while simultaneously complaining when other people thrust him into the spotlight) and the last picture, featuring a flag draped over a chair.
(If Barack Obama, or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid or Al Franken or Ed Schultz or Alex Baldwin or, or, or, or… stood next to a flag that was draped (they would undoubtedly say “thrown”) over a chair, the wingers would be on it for days. It would become one of those iconic symbols — “proof” that liberals “hate” the country.)
Fox News Says Al Franken Has to “Win Over GOP”
Here’s the article and here’s the headline:
Excuse me?! Why is it that, according to the wingers, the Democrats are supposed to kiss their ass, but when the wingers are in power, they get to walk all over anyone who stands in their way?
MSNBC’s New On-Screen Layout?
I don’t like it.
And please tell “Dr. Nancy” to stop interrupting her guests. Very annoying.
God Tells Joe the Plumber Not to Run for Office
“You know, I talked to God about that and he was like, ‘No.’”
Republicans Blame Franken Win on the Lawyers
And they’re shocked, shocked I tell you, that the courts would decide an election.
