If you, like me, have grown tired of lefty bloggers making snide comments about Dr. Frist saving lives, I would recommend visiting this site. It is the complete story of how Ted Kennedy murdered Mary Jo Kopechne. And yes, leaving her submerged to suffocate while he thought only of himself and his political future counts as murder in my book.
That was the greatest college
That was the greatest college football game in history. I will field no arguments. Congratulations Ohio State, the National Champions.
Paul Krugman, Martyr, or Why
Paul Krugman, Martyr, or Why I Read Blogs
Sully links to a der Spiegel interview with the Ny Times social critic, ermm, I mean economist, in which he emits few more annoying squeals. My translate software is not working (actually I forget how to use the google translate), so all I have are the Sully quotes:
Instead [of writing a column about the New Economy], I now find myself once again as the lonely voice of truth in a sea of corruption. Sometimes I think that one of these days I’ll end up in one of those cages on Guantanamo Bay (laughs). But I can still seek asylum in Germany. I hope you’d accept me in an emergency.
If you feel dirty after reading that, I understand. Is there anyone who wonders why people like me dismiss Paul Krugman, yet embrace places like Kos’s Political State? At least bloggers will admit they are partisan hacks.
Yes, John, Sometimes I Do
Yes, John, Sometimes I Do Despair:
For many of us who lean to the right but are under the age of 50 and hence missed out on all the good segregation, homophobia, and bigotry of the past, attitudes like this do make us despair:
K-Lo: So DC’s first baby of the year was born to a lesbian couple. New York’s seems to have been to a black single mother. Don’t you sometimes feel like giving in to despair?
Thank you, Derbyshire, for being an unrepentant moron. Thank you for giving some jackass Democrat another opportunity to call all Republicans homophobes and bigots just because we belong to the same party as you. Damned moron.
Some of us out here, btw, Derb., think that maybe a loving father and mother is the best combination. But I will take a gay couple or lesbian couple or a loving single green mother over a dysfunctional family, or no family, or a family that raises children with your bigoted, prejudiced, busybody beliefs. I’ll take two good parents, male-male, female-female, black, white, red, yellow, or green, over your faux morality any day of the week, you ignorant piker.
Can’t keep liberals out of my wallet, can’t keep conservatives out of my bedroom.

Just to Make Things Easier For my Opposition Research:
Will the Senate Democrats who are NOT running for President in 2004 please step forward. The rest of you please step back. This pack is going to rival the seven dwarves of 1988.
Dr. William Frist: Senate Majority
Dr. William Frist: Senate Majority Leader By Day/ Dr. Mengele By Night.
Or at least that is what Alexander Cockburn would like you to think. Check out this smashing bit of over the top nastiness:
So now the U.S. senate is going to be led by the cat world’s answer to Dr. Mengele! A man who can do that is capable of any infamy.
Yawn. Meanwhile, Dr. Frist was involved in helping several individuals who happened to be thrown from their Isuzu when it rolled over. Not that big of a deal, because I would have done the same thing. 99% of us probably would have. What is amusing is the backlash from the libs, who just can’t stand the fact that Frist is going to be very difficult for them to tar and feather as some extreme right-winger. Check out this bile from Atrios:
Yesterday an Isuzu SUV rolled over after its tire blew. Two passengers were killed. Another 4 survived due perhaps, in part, to the help of Senator Frist who was at the scene.
Given Frist’s support of “tort reform” and his votes to cap punitive damages on product liability, the surviving 4 passengers likely would have preferred that John Edwards was at the scene.
The Instapundit, meanwhile, has learned from his readers that perhaps Atrios spoke a little too quickly and loosely (NOOOO- Not Atrios!). Edwards’s son was killed in a rollover.
