Jindal makes me want to return Louisiana to France...
There's some sort of voter focus group response meter running at the bottom of the screen on NBC...what the hell is this, and what is it supposed to be telling me?
My wife thinks it's an EKG...She also thinks Nancy Pelosi produced her outfit through macrame...She also would like somebody to get Michelle Obama a sweater...it's February in D.C. for God's sake...
Kenneth from 30 Rock, I mean, Governor Jindal, is still babbling...something about volcanoes...
Conservatives, Republicans, we're in bad shape. Really bad shape. Bobby Jindal, the Republican tapped by the party to give the firebreathing response to Obamanon...sounds like Kenneth from "30 Rock."
Really...
Madre de dios...
I know George Will can't be everywhere, but COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Afghanistan will be to Obama what Vietnam was to LBJ...I listened to a "counter insurgency" expert on NPR talking about what needed to be done in The Graveyard of Empires to "win." Short of rhapsodizing about capturing the "hearts and minds" of the local gentry, the guy sounded like he could have been speaking in 1965.
No external power has ever subdued and reshaped Afghanistan. Not one. The empires that have ventured into that misbegotten real estate have only been devoured and spat out in misery and ruin.
In the first month of this Administration 17,000 Marines were deployed to Afghanistan...it is unfortunately only the beginning...
Watching the State of Obamanon Address, I'm struck by the escalating level of audience feedback...I can't see who's doing the cheering/jeering, but it's starting to remind me of our legislative brethren across the Pond...
"The President needs to explain why the successful and the responsible must support the unsuccessful and irresponsible."
-George F. Will
Here, here...the concise and brilliant encapsulation of the core of contemporary conservatism...
It's not Social Darwinism folks...it's common sense...
The Boston Globe is reporting this evening that Stephon Marbury is on the way to Beantown as of Friday...I have to confess that I have great trepidation about this addition to Gang Green...great apprehension indeed...
Marbury may well possess vast reservoirs of talent and greatness, but the man is a toxin...I fear that he will function like so much anthrax in the Celtics locker room...
He has MUCH to prove...I just pray that he doesn't leave the franchise in rubble and ruin...
