What we really need is more funding for Walter Reed Middle School of North Hollywood, California. I think we also need a fund to help John McCain and his staff to better understand all internet traditions.

I flipped on the enemy (Faux News) for a moment last night - brave, I know - and they knew what it was right after the speech was over with. They seemed as perplexed as everyone else.

When I read about that this morning (TPM, I think). I was only briefly astounded. Sad, sad, sad...and pathetic. Oh, and incompetent.

Incompetence seems to be a theme with the GOP.

Re: Deep Thought (none / 0)

the tasteless display of that 911 tribute video is drawing some more heat, and not just from KO. [FF to the 4:27 mark]

from the boston globe: political intelligence, an oxymoron if ever there was:

The death of a taboo
One of the most enduring taboos in American politics, the airing of graphic images from the September 11 attacks in a partisan context, died today. It was nearly seven years old.
The informal prohibition, which had been occasionally threatened by political ads in recent years, was pronounced dead at approximately 7:40 CST, when a video aired before delegates at the Republican National Convention included slow-motion footage of a plane striking the World Trade Center, the towers' subsequent collapse, and smoke emerging from the Pentagon.
The September 11 precedent was one of the few surviving campaign-season taboos. It is survived by direct comparisons of one's opponents to Hitler.

not so sure l believe that godwin's law isn't still a RATpub staple.

the revolution will not be televised...Peace

This is a creative blog name. They're hitting the Alaskan gossip hard.
