What do Montana and San Francisco have in common?

Turns out it's Nancy Pelosi.

Seriously, at the Obama campaign thought that would be a good idea?

Remember Pat Buchanan's "Hitler wasn't all that bad" book?

Well, if you were wanting to see Victor Davis Hanson and Christopher Hitchens rip it a new one, look no further.

Chocolate Milk Challenge

Rise up Chocolate Milk lovers and take your stand against the evil oppressors that are trying to stop you from enjoying your sacred drink...or something like that.

This vlog was done by one of my favorite blogging friends, Spacekicker. It's brilliant.

Drink up, y'all. And yes, morons, you can add Val-U-Rite to your chocolate milk.

The latest bit of Mavericky badness

I'd started to move into the maybe possibly vote for McCain column in recent days, but I'm back in the it'll be a cold day in Hell before I vote for McCain column.  How the hell did we get to the point where we have such unbelievably and unforgivably poor candidates?

Moron of the Day: Lawn Care

We've all had a lawnmower we wanted to take outside and put out of its misery. It took a man in Milwaukee to live the dream:

According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski said he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning. He told police quote, "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."

This next part will certainly come as a shock to most of you:

A woman who lives at Walendowski's house reported the incident. She said he was intoxicated.

Free Walendowski! Every man is born with an inalienable right to load up on Val-U-Rite vodka and shoot lawn-care machinery in his own yard!

John Adams would be first in line to defend this fine American patriot.

Presented without context

Mr Allison admits to no formal acting training, although he says he starred in a very successful school play - Toad of Toad Hall.

His acting experience includes parts in a short film called Penguin: Naked Penguins Save the Earth, in which he and other nude men imitate penguins, a pop video entitled the Bearded Nymph, and another film, Aged Raver.

While on leave from his job as a prosecutor, he's apparently available for "lingerie, glamour, implied nude, adult and topless" modeling.  Yay.

If, for some strange reason, you'd like a peek at the very pallid, very middle-aged, very (non-frontally) nekkid Mr. Allison, I suppose you could click here.

Southwest Michigan, As Experienced By A Moron

Holland, MI was wonderful. The weather was excellent, though the water at the beaches was a bit chilly. But it sure beats the hell out of St. Louis weather right now.

Anyway, here is the sublime:

This is Lake Michigan from Tunnel Park.
To the ridiculous:

Here we are at the petting zoo portion of the Dutch Village. They gave my daughter the biggest goat to walk. So, I had to take over. STupid thing just wanted to eat from the food dispenser.
To the awesome (Warning: Excessive Orange Crocs alert!)

Here I am at Holland State Park, exuding Orange Awesomeness.

One bit of advice:
If your daughter needs you to go back out to the car to get her pink My Little Pony purse, just try not to run into some drunken rednecks. Just sayin'

Next stop: Paradise

The next stop on my vacation is in a place that I expect to be like my very own Batcave, only with much sexier results.

What will hopefully be my only "Edwards has a love child" post.

Between Mickey Kaus and Byron York think that the media will have to turn on John Edwards in order to save Sen. Obama.  If the Democrats' don't give him a prominent role at the DNC Convention, it will be a tacit admission that the story is true.  If they did give him podium time, there would be whispering throughout the stadium and (possibly) outlets like Fox News, who have already corroborated the story.

Nothing must distract from the coronation of the Obamessiah!

Thanks, dad

Everybody can relate to being embarrassed when a parent tells people about something that happened when they were little kids, but, thankfully, most of our parents don't tell those stories on national television.

If Sinead O'Connor and Morrissey had a child, how long would it be before it killed itself?

According to ChaCha, the answer is "Well there are many factors that would affect the time it would take.  Such as how much time would the child spend with a nanny."

One of my friends just started working for this company.  You can text them any question for free, and they'll text you an answer.  I went to a party Friday night, and we a good portion of the night asking questions.  My favorite from that night?

Q: Is that so raven?
A: Hell yes it is.

Rockin'.

(And God help you if you point out that this is "old.")

Transatlantic "inartful" statement may prove to be a distraction

As we all know, half of Barack Obama's family is from Kenya.  (I mean, that's why we conservatives are terrified of him, right?)  It seems that when he couldn't get out of politician mode, and started making promises he didn't intend to keep to the locals:

He told the assembled press, local politicians (who included current Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga), and students: "Hopefully I can provide some assistance in the future to this school and all that it can be." He then turned to the school's principal, Yuanita Obiero, and assured her and her teachers: "I know you are working very hard and struggling to bring up this school, but I have said I will assist the school and I will do so."

Obiero says that although Obama did not explicitly use the word "financial" to qualify the nature of the assistance he was offering, "there was no doubt among us [teachers] that is what he meant. We interpreted his words as meaning he would help fund the school, either personally or by raising sponsors or both, in order to give our school desperately-needed modern facilities and a facelift". She added that 10 of the school's 144 pupils are Obama's relatives. Obiero was not the only one to think that the US Senator from Illinois, who had recently acquired a $1.65 million house in Chicago, would cough up. Obama's own grandmother Sarah confidently told reporters before his visit: "When he comes down here, he will change the face of the school and, believe me, our poverty in Kogelo will be a thing of the past."

Obama would like to care for the poor of Kenya, but not if it only costs him.  We need to all feel the hardship that poverty has wrought in Africa and truly embrace our common world citizenship.  I'm sure that once he is elected president, Obama will make us all pay for his neglected personal promise allow us to reap the benefits of our common world citizenship by having Americans present the school with a mandatory donation from the federal government.

If only Kenyans knew that "all Obama statements have expiration dates.  All of them."

Meanwhile, In The World Of Evil Dictators

Iran has announced a new series of public executions. What did some of these miscreants do?

...being a public nuisance while drunk and being involved in illegal relationships -- relationships between men and women who are not married to each other.

.
Now those bastards have gone too far!

And Cuba tells everybody that things are going to get tougher than usual.

"As much as we desire to resolve all of our problems, we can't spend more than we have," Castro said under a slight drizzle on a humid night. "To make the best of what we have, it is indispensable to save on everything, most importantly fuel."

Wait! They allowed people to have fuel before?

Harry spreads the word

Awwwwww...the MSM isn't doing exactly what Dingy Harry wants them to do, so he turned to a slightly more reliable Spirit Squad:

On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid criticized the Washington press corps for failing to report what he believes is unprecedented Republican obstruction.

So Friday afternoon, Reid reached out to the liberal blogosphere.

"You need to keep doing the job you're doing, but you need to move on," Reid said in a Webcast hosted by a handful of progressive bloggers. "We need your help to push back against the Republican harangue ... that we're not allowing votes" on oil drilling amendments.

The Webcast was hosted by meetthebloggers and included bloggers from HuffingtonPost, OpenLeft and thesmogblog.com.

Yeah, that'll get the message out to the middle-of-the-road general public. Because independent voters in swing states make up such a huge part of the HuffPo's readership.

Last year, Mary Katherine Ham went to a mall somewhere and asked a bunch of random people about whether or not they were familiar with various pundits who actually have regular print and teevee gigs, and was met with a lot of hemming and hawing. None of them knew who the hell she was talking about.  What are the odds that those people have ever even heard of thesmogblog.com? Hell, I've never even heard of that blog, and I'm the kind of dork who spends entirely too much time on the Internets reading about politics.  Seriously, my own family finds it insufferable sometimes.

But, anyway, you go, Harry. Preach to that choir!

I sense a meme

While nerding out on some veepstakes news this afternoon, I ran across an article in the St. Petersburg Times, and I noticed something familiar (emphasis mine):

"The threshold for Obama's V.P. choice is simply do no harm. McCain on the other hand will be looking to send several signals with his choice,'' said Republican consultant Todd Harris. "He may decide that he needs someone that will energize the conservative base. He will most certainly want to choose someone who would be viewed as a leader in the next generation of Republicans, and he'll probably want someone who stands a good chance of bringing some political real estate with him."

Really?  Obama doesn't have to send any signals with his vice presidential choice?  He doesn't have to shore up support from disgruntled Hillary voters?  He doesn't have to choose someone with more experience to add gravitas to the ticket?  He doesn't need a vice president who connects with "bitter" Reagan Democrats in Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc.? 

I guess if you accept the Democrats' premise that he is the secular messiah, then "Republican consultant" Todd Harris is correct.

Can we choose failure?

I saw a number of blogs link to a statement that Powerline had yesterday, in which McCain finally started hammering Obama on his surge idiocy. Let's hope McCain continues to hammer Captain Bullshit on one of his only frank and honest stances:

Senator Obama said this week that even knowing what he knows today that he still would have opposed the surge. In retrospect, given the opportunity to choose between failure and success, he chooses failure. I cannot conceive of a Commander in Chief making that choice.

Look, I even came up with a graphic Maverick can use:



Unfortunately, around half of the country wants him to make that choice.
