The rest… Well take a look in the background
Good day to be vegan.
someone might have told her it wasn’t the best of backdrops for an interview.
she said to do it anyway (according to CNN last night).
I’m surprised she didn’t take an ax and decapitate one of them herself for the cameras.
Palin/Lamborn ’12
on the clothes the RNC bought for her. The Repo Man is coming, you know…
I mean with the feathered turkey in the funnel. Unless it’s a really cheap turkey with feather filling, that I get.
My wife and I are hosting our first Thanksgiving dinner next week. I’ll make sure not to play that video during the Cowboys game.
It did kind of make me hungry though… for mooseburgers.

Not a law, a rule. Come on people – use your brains. Fix this.

Many women drop, either officially or unoffically any middle name and use their maiden name instead.
This is an old, old custom that apparently our wise legislators and bureaucrats are ignorant of.
That’s just not right!
I’ve thought that for years.
from TPM
and from Bloomberg News
Is actually an eloquent guy and darn good in front of a microphone (probably since he’s been a radio guy in the past). He frightens me for his ability to mobilize GOP voters more than others fighting for leadership posts right now. He’ll be a pretty formidable opponent, IMO.
…taking the GOP in the wrong direction will just harm the party more.
to agree that we’re going in the ‘right’ direction. We have some work to do, but I think you underestimate how much exposure to general incompetence the Dems have now by controlling everything.
Remember what it feels like right now between election and inauguration day. It will only go downhill from here – it’s just natural.
But FDR did a good enough job that he was elected to 4 terms and the Dems held the COngress until LBJ did the right thing and embraced civil rights.
A Pence-style conservative, who is very fiscally conservative and would rather talk economics than social policy is much more formidable than a Boehner or McConnell styled ideologue on both ends, I would venture. We’ll see how that plays out though.
Somehow the following seems appropriate:
“If history teaches us anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of facts is folly.”
Ronald Reagan
Or at least should have before he started suffering from dementia in his first term.
about handing Arizona’s Gov over to the repubs if Napolitano become Secretary Homeland Security?
Isn’t this why people don’t want Schweitzer to go anywhere?
I was hoping he would pick Richard Clarke.
You really need someone who can integrate a sprawling organization.
Clarke is a great public servant, but DHS needs an executive–I hope there is another job for Clarke. CIA maybe?
Talk about a sprawling bureaucracy that needs reining in …
There’s got to be a policy position where Clarke would excel.
and Governor Napolitano is certainly versed in one part of the DHS’s duties–immigration.
However, from everything I’ve read about her, she doesn’t have any experience regarding terrorism. That is somewhat troubling as I would hate to see DHS change its focus from counter-terrorism to immigration enforcement.
I’m sure I’m being presumptuous that she wouldn’t do a good job, and I’m also sure she’ll get a lot of people who know everything there is to know about the subject.
We’re not doing either right now. If she bakes really good cookies at DHS it will be an improvement.
Harsh, but sadly true. They’re still doin’ a heckuva job over in DHS.
but it’s not like we’ve had another plane hijacked in seven years.
That Bush did a single thing that might have been positive in his whole life, therefore disallowed on any blog.
(the other being African AIDS relief) but it’s more due to the people in places like DHS, the CIA, the FBI, NSA, and local law enforcement.
On the downside, terrorism has exploded in many other countries.
Just before 9/11 happened I thought our airport security was pretty good because it had been decades since the previous hijacking of a plane that had taken off from an American airport. Turns out it was just good luck. Who’s to say that’s not just as much as what’s happened since then?
Until 9/11, nobody had ever hijacked airliners full of people specifically to use them as missiles.
I’d love to see some asshole stand up on a plane with a box cutter now.
You already hear plenty of stories of passengers dogpiling on people who start acting up on airplanes. No one is taking any chances now.
My point, though, has more to do with how people tend to relax their vigilance when things don’t happen for a long time. And then there are those times when they test it and still get weapons past the checkpoints.
My main beef with Bush has been a) taking unconstitutional (IMO) measures – I’d rather not trade my rights for security – and b) going after Iraq under the guise of fighting terror, when it’s a demonstrable fact that Saddam Hussein was not allied with the terrorists and was not posing a great danger to the region thanks to our presence there.
Assuming the next 60 or so days go without incident, Bush will have overseen a period where we were nearly 100% sure we were going to get hit again… but we didn’t.
Again, I’m giving 95% of the credit to the people working their asses off to make sure it doesn’t happen again. But like it or not, history will remember that there was 9/11, and then 7 years with no attacks.
Doctrine was to not resist during a hijack. That doctrine came to an end over Pennsylvania.
No airplane is going to be turned in to a missle again. No one will ever passively allow a plane to be hijacked again.
70’s era hijackers used the act to bring attention to a cause or to gain hostages to trade for prisoners. But the 70’s are a quaint era of chivalry. Al Qaeda’s goal was pure terror. Their objective was served by either us leaving or the US declaringwar on islam (which is why invading Iraq was so stupid–we reinforced by our heavy handed objective).
Arizona is still in the red column. If we have to lose a governor, losing one there isn’t very game changing.
Dems have a pretty good representation in the Arizona Congressional Caucus; losing a Dem governor could hurt in 2012.
who the gov is really doesn’t matter. AZ has an independent commission so the legislature and Gov aren’t as intimately involved.
about the prospect of not having a democrat at the table when Arizona redistricts—especially since we’ve recently picked up a couple of seats down there.
Wouldn’t she be gone before the Census reports the new numbers? And even if she would be in office Dabee77 reports they have an independent commission down there in Arizona.
It would be nice just to hear an “I’m OK” from him. Anybody heard anything?
He looked ok to me.
Saw this on HotAir. Pretty good way to clear your political mind before you go into the weekend. Enjoy!
You broke the front page.
Sorry everyone. If I could edit the title I would.
You are so welcome.
..thank you.
“F American Idol” from that little girl.
Now you know how we felt in 2004 LB.
but seriously, Clay Aiken has way more personality than John Kerry. He probably could’ve beaten Bush that year.
Once you hit a certain number of HA’s, I think you need to switch to LOLs or ROFL[MAO[PIMP]] or something.
Bad LB, breaking the front page layout.
…trying to capture effectively the spontaneity and uncomfortability of a too-loud laugh in company.
as punishment.
“Republicans civil enough to put up with commie-pinko-wackiness daily” committee?
Here’s more for the weekend…

The best comment is “I bet $50 on this! I don’t HAVE $50!”

You’re daughter is going to REBEL. We tried to keep my girl (now almost 4) out of pink girly stuff. Guess what her favorite color is now…
She’ll be playing George Winston and the Montovani Strings at top volume, just to annoy you.
