Gina Gershon does a pretty good impersonation of Sarah Palin – not quite Tina Fey-level, but at least Lisa Nova quality. (“I jus’ wanna say, G-a-w-d Bliss Amur-ka . . . an’ fuck you, Katie Couric!”[wink]) It disturbs me that all the women who can do such good impersonations of Palin are so goddamn hot. [...]

More Heartwarming Misogyny From the Right Wing

Cardinal Egan, supremely obnoxious Catholic Archbishop of New York, has an essay up on some Web site, complete with the standard handwringing condescension and heart-tugging photos, declaiming how desperately we need to take control of women’s bodies and impose forced pregnancy as a matter of law and culture. Its contents are typical of this well-worn [...]
Civic Duty: Done!
Posted in Politics on October 24, 2008 |
I voted today. (So did Kevin — I know, because I saw him there.) It took about an hour. So if something dramatic happens between now and Nov. 4, I’ll have to hope that the electors do their constitutionally-envisioned duty. Not surprisingly, I voted more or less straight-ticket Democrat. This doesn’t matter much, because for [...]
Thanks, Sheriff Taylor (and Opie, and Richie, and Fonz)

I wrote once previously about Sheriff Taylor and Li’l Opie, characters from the old Andy Griffith Show who embodied the values of decency, fairness, and support for Constitutional rights that had once been mainstream and are now lost. Well, Sheriff Andy and Opie are back, along with Richie Cunningham and The Fonz, to remind us of [...]

Truth Invaders! They also have a decent summary of the relative truthfulness of the two campaigns; neither campaign is particularly good (Obama “wins” at just 52% truthful), but that doesn’t mean the two campaigns are equally misleading. (via the Fact Check Wire)

From Ben Smith’s blog: Upon arriving at the Hamilton County Board of Elections in Cincinnati to vote early today I happened upon some friends of my mother’s — three small, elderly Jewish women. They were quite upset as they were being refused admitance to the polling location due to their Obama T-Shirts, hats and buttons. Apparently you [...]
Huckabee 2012?
Posted in Politics on October 22, 2008 | 12 Comments »
Larison seems to think so: It seems to me that Huckabee now starts to look much better to the conservative elites who were ridiculing him as Huckleberry just half a year ago; he becomes the relatively safe governing choice who can also generate tremendous grassroots enthusiasm. Many of his former critics may come to recognize [...]
Now Xrlq is really losing it. And Patterico engages in parsing that would make Bill Clinton proud.

Sarah Palin: Enemy of Government Waste
Posted in News & Current Events, Politics on October 21, 2008 |
Unless it’s her waste: Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business. The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch [...]
