This is pretty much how I feel about O'Donnell supporters...
...especially Mark Levin, who has seriously gone off the rails.

I Loooooove New York...
NY has the most hilarious politics I've seen anywhere. I love watching them.
The disconnect between NY politicians and accountability, honesty or decency is as jaw-droppingly vast as their contempt for their voters.
So in today's laugh-inducing episode (laugh track not needed), we see everybody's favorite law-breaking mayor of NYC wanting to go all cowboys and Indians on... wait for it..... the Seneca tribe in NY.
NYS, and NYC in particular, have ridiculous taxes on cigs. They're at least $10/pack in NYC and $7+ upstate. So the Indian tribes sell tax-free cigs cuz they're a separate nation and make probably more money than from gambling.
Quote
said ... that Gov. David Paterson -- who's trying to rustle up millions in cigarette taxes from the tribes -- should grab "a cowboy hat and a shotgun"
Okay, that's funny. And a good window into why he wants to disarm everybody but the gov't.
What makes it funnier?
Pataki tried this in the 90s. It didn't go so well.
Quote
The Senecas had set a number of bonfires earlier Wednesday night near and on the Thruway, holding off an earlier assault by state police.
They've also been threatening to start charging tolls on the Thruway (that's 90 going from Albany from Buffalo and 87 from Albany to NYC. They're near the Buffalo end on 90.) since Patterson started making noises and going after them for that sweet, sweet tax money.
The best part? The last time no news services really covered it very much. I was in DC at the time and I saw very little of it on CNN.
Now? Foxnews will be all over it.
The worst part? It'll probably be Geraldo and Shep Smith on location.
Eh, maybe the Indians will take them hostage, cover them in honey, put them in a hole and cover them in fire ants.
I would predict best ratings ever if that happened.

Electable
This American Spectator article says much of what I've been thinking but can't say as eloquently and informatively.
It's about this election and the schism on the "right".
He sees it, as I do, between people who think they are the ruling class and the rest of us. The people who went to the right schools and the people who didn't.
I did not know this
quote
Willing to nominate her for the Senate when Castle didn't have the nerve to take on Biden directly (losing is never a winner with some), now that the seat is open she is being given the bum's rush.
Get that? She was okay as a sacrificial lamb, but let's not let our golden haired "electable" candidate lose.
So what do our political betters have to say about her?
quote
In the words of the Journal editorial, O'Donnell is a "two-time loser statewide" and "an itinerant conservative commentator and activist."
That's right, she's been out there trying and she wasn't too crazy to run before, but now we're seeing the attacks the GOP, they're even siccing the FEC on her.
Scumbags.
They have more contempt for me than I could ever possibly have for them.
Back to the Spectator,
He talks about and quotes a book called The Ruling Class by Angelo Codevilla
quote
Says Codevilla: "… in fact Republican and Democratic office holders and their retinues show a similar presumption to dominate and fewer differences in tastes, habits, opinions, and sources of income among one another than between both and the rest of the country. They think, look, and act as a class."
And Bingo was his name-o.
He starts the whole thing off off by saying he's leary of going against the Journal's editorial page and NRO (NRO lost me with the way they went after Palin) but then does just that.
Quote (directly relating this passage to the Journal's Ed page and NRO)
Like a fraternity, this class requires above all comity -- being in with the right people, giving the required signs that one is on the right side, and joining in and despising the Outs.
B-I-N-G-O and Bingo was was name-o.
Now, I know I get worked up over silly stuff sometimes, but this attitude that they "know better" bothers me.
Especially given that they so obviously don't.
RTWT, I've only touched on the first of 4 pages.
H/T? Eh, I think Hot Air headlines. I saw it a few days ago and emailed it to myself without the h/t.
Exit question: What would have happened in NJ if there had been an "electable' alternative to Christie?

Of course the DE primary is a huge clusterfuck!
I'll start off by saying normally I'd have a preferred candidate, but I don't really have one, if I had to pick, I'd probably say O'Donnell for no other reason than to dislodge an incumbent, shake shit up for the sake of shaking shit up and to kick the GOP leadership in the balls again.
Look, this is exactly what happens when there is no functional party leadership, and there is no functional party leadership, oh, there are people holding positions, making statements and shifting money around, but they aren't leaders. Leaders lead, and you can't lead if the people you're attempting to lead have zero faith and trust in you.
There's a strong case to be made that Castle should be the guy, especially given that, as our friend and moronblogger-in-arms tmi3rd noted a few weeks ago on Twitter, Delaware is so blue it looks like a Smurf splatter flick, the question I guess becomes, is he in that acceptable range of RINOism, or has he reached that Linc Chafee/Scozzafava You know what, not worth it stage of RINOism? Beyond that, there's no doubt that O'Donnell is a bit flaky and off.
The problem is that the GOP leadership led the charge for Castle, because only the GOP leadership could get excited about a squish like him. Anything that the GOP leadership willingly supports is going to automatically be suspect amongst the grassroots and Tea Partiers, even if the blind pigs of the GOP leadership did in fact find a truffle. Those amongst us in the blogosphere and commentariat who are grinding their teeth over this Castle/O'Donnell thing need to chill the fuck out. We're getting angry at the wrong people.
In a way I'm reacting to the slapfight going on between the Powerline guys, Mark Levin, Patterico and Dan Riehl. One quote from Paul Mirengoff seems to really be the center of the shitstorm,

"It's disconcerting to realize that many of our activists aren't even as astute as the likes of Markos Moulitsas."
First off, Mirengoff deserves every ounce of abuse he's getting for an ignorant incendiary line like that. But in a way, he's right, especially with regards to Tea Partiers. Yeah, he's not wrong entirely, a lot of these Tea Partiers are political novices. And yeah, mistakes are going to be made as a result of that. Kos and his merry band of Marxists are fairly politically experienced and savvy (in their own demented, evil way), and the handy thing for liberals is that they're collectivists, so new people are simply drones, drones don't have to think, they just have to do what they're told, if they're more to the human hive, they'll present themselves as such in due time. Individualists don't operate that way, so there's always going to be growing pains associated with bringing new people in for conservatives and libertarians.
Instead of grinding his teeth and bitching about it, Mirengoff ought to be thrilled. A lot of these people didn't eat, sleep and breathe politics like the rest of us have for years, sometimes decades for us, and some never will. I'd rather have the extra people on board and work on polish and savvy than drive them off by sneering at them like the GOP leadership in DC and comparing them to human refuse like Kos. We wouldn't be doing what we're doing nationally without them here, and conservatives who are supporting Castle and grinding their teeth over O'Donnell's strong showing and tea party/grassroots support need to keep that in mind.

See, this?
Is:
1.) Why the GOP leadership is despised, despised by the GOP rank-and-file and grassroots.
2.) Why you're seeing a bunch of GOP incumbents getting thrown out on their ass by Tea Party backed conservatives.
3.) Why our economy is going to shit, and why we're going bankrupt.
4.) Why we can't have nice things.

More proof that cockroaches will outlive us all
Cockroach brains kill MRSA and E. coli.
I'm terrified of cockroaches, it's probably the only thing I'm more afraid of than guacamole. If I were dying of MRSA, and was told that all I had to do to be cured was eat a pill made of cockroach brains, I think you'd all be coming to my funeral.

Allah's 9/11 memories
I know Allah can grate on people sometimes with his chronic pessimism/Eeyoreism and the Beta Male Blogger stuff, but I think Allah overall is a bright guy who deserves a lot more credit than what he gets for what he does. I do think he takes more shit than what is warranted oftentimes too. All said, his recollections of 9/11 are very moving, I had no idea that 9/11 literally hit that close to home for him. I'm so glad Andy Levy thought enough to save Allah's stream of consciousness postings on Twitter recalling 9/11, if you haven't read them, I strongly advise you take the time to do so.

"Help Fight for Change"
That's the title of the ad sponsored by Team Barry that keeps showing up in the sidebar of my little crapblog.
On the one hand, this pisses me off because I can't in good conscience ask you Morons to go over there and click on ads to contribute to my Booze and Smokes Aid for Starving Orphans Fund. On the other hand, it's kinda funny, seeing as how I am fighting for change.
Money well spent, champ.

John Bolton's Mustache: Fuck yeah I'm thinking about running
Sweet, I so hope Bolton or his mustache run for president. If John Bolton's Mustache were to run and win, it'd be the first Mustache-American to hold the office, and if John Bolton himself ran and won, he'd be the first president since William Taft to have facial hair.
