Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

    The New Yorker material was not attributable to Obama, was actually an attack on Obama’s opponents, and yet nevertheless gave Obama the opportunity to play the an outraged victim of a scurrilous attack.

    That Ann, she’s so smart, I bet she wears a double layer tin foil hat adorned with the finest of wine labels.

    I actually heard this from some comments over at some feminist blogs yesterday.

    I just never expected to see it in a major column.

    Oh, well.

    I like how Althouse says, “Suddenly, this inflammatory New Yorker cover appears…” Because we all know that magazine covers are created, printed, assembled with the magazine, bundled, packaged and shipped all by magical fairies who can do it in a day’s work. The Bernie Mac event was on Friday night. When did that New Yorker hit the newsstands again?

    She is really a very stupid woman, isn’t she?

    Eugene Volokh and Radley Balko must feel electric shocks throughout their testicles everytime those two touch a keyboard.

    That’s how it was at every magazine I’ve ever worked at. We could bang out the whole thing in a day…we just stretched it out to take a month so that we could mooch some more paychecks. Layouts? Ad budgets? Editorial changes? Proof shipping? They each take, like, 5 minutes, tops.

    Brad forgot to mention my favorite conspiracy: The Earth was created 1,000 years after the Sumerians invented ink. But, alas, he did get the three that are always good for a chuckle.

    I’m down to reading the Atlantic Monthly crew, AmConMag (mostly Larison since he moved his blog), selected GOS, TPM, Balloon Juice, and the Carpetbagger Report for political blog stuff. The NYT, WaPo, and the WSJ are my only mainstream sources. The rest of them should have their nuts cut out. Oops. For some reason I channeled Jesse Jackson. Must have been an acid flashback.

    me no understandy title. me feel stupids.

    It’s an allusion to the movie Airplane. In the opening credits, two announcers are on the airport’s P.A. system arguing about whether you use the White Zone or the Red Zone for loading and unloading. Mr. Cole is using that title because the “wrong week to start sniffing glue” line is also a reference to Airplane.

    What’s that old saying about those who can’t do… ?
    But seriously, if you ever have to ask why lawyers are such humongous assholes, I think its worth noting how far the apple can fall from the tree. Just check where they went to college.

    An interesting point made about the puppet king, bushwhack:

    … last point in his Sunday New York Times opinion column: “In [Mayer’s] telling, a major incentive for Mr. Cheney’s descent into the dark side was to cover up for the Bush White House’s failure to heed the Qaeda threat in 2001. Jack Cloonan, a special agent for the F.B.I.’s Osama bin Laden unit until 2002, told Ms. Mayer that Sept. 11 was ‘all preventable.’ By March 2000, according to the C.I.A.’s inspector general, ’50 or 60 individuals’ in the agency knew that two Al Qaeda suspects — soon to be hijackers — were in America. But there was no urgency at the top. Thomas Pickard, the acting F.B.I. director in the summer of 2001, told Ms. Mayer that when he expressed his fears about the Qaeda threat to Mr. Ashcroft, the attorney general snapped, ‘I don’t want to hear about that anymore!'”

    The smoking gun! So, it appears that the truth is, they could have stopped 9/11 … I always felt that people who clamined this had gone too far. A dumbass’s take time to learn.

    So Bushwhack, bloody hands cheney and their dumbass helpers are traders, war criminals and the worst criminals of all – mass murders.

    I think of Ann as a modern-day Judith Hearne of the Intertubez. So lonely, she makes a big deal out of blogging from coffee shops and searches the tubes for mere mention of her name and makes posts about it.

    Puleeze. She’s still crowing about decoding Hillary’s secret racist message hidden in some kid’s pajamas. I cannot possibly imagine who would have ever hired her sorry ass as a lawyer. Her grasp of jurisprudence seems tentative at best.

    The Earth was created 1,000 years after the Sumerians invented ink.

    Well duh. Adding up the lifespans of various people who lived for 200 or 300 years proves this to be true.

    Hell, her grasp of reality seems tentative at best.

    It was a rough place – the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It’s worse than Detroit.

    I would hire her. I could enjoy the comic relief of watching that woman completely butcher a legal case, then demand a retrial based on an incompetent defense.

    Win-Win.
