Pamela and Todd have covered this below, but the statement that Larry Craig released this afternoon is such a shameless and transparent lie that it deserves special attention. (Please don’t tell the “Congressional Potato” about it.)
Good fiction writing gets you on the bestseller list. (Hopefully). Bad fiction writing, evidently, gets you into Congress.
Alberto, move over! [...]
Readers may recall the grand Faux Nooz Flap of July, wherein Sean Hannity featured my Democratic Daily July 5 post on Nugent’s disgusting Wall Street Journal attack on the “Summer of Love” and an entire generation on July 4 as a) cover for Ann Coulter’s remark that terrorists should assassinate John Edwards, and b) [...]
[SPECIAL BLOG EMERGENCY POSTING #1]
It is a testament to the utter failure of the Bush Administration that even the Kewpie Doll from Hell™ Michelle Malkin has taken the full swan dive and is swimming away from the sinking Ship of State as fast as any rat ever swam:
It is Buzz Windrip’s dream come true, the wet dream of Tricky Dick Nixon, the paranoid fantasy of a thousand “libertarian” science fiction writers, right-wing columnists, lefty conspiracy theorists, and now it’s come true: We ARE living in a Philip K. Dick novel.
From the Wall Street Journal:
U.S. to Expand Domestic Use Of Spy [...]
This, in today’s Washington Post quite scares the living crap out of me.
The designation of the Revolutionary Guard will be made under Executive Order 13224, which President Bush signed two weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to obstruct terrorist funding. It authorizes the United States to identify individuals, businesses, charities and extremist groups engaged [...]
Welcome to the dog days of August. Originally having something or other to do with the heliacal rising of the Dog Star, Sirius, the Nile floods and the UFOs moving the Pyramids, they now seem to just be dog days.
It began with Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter and was supposed to be Faux Nooz’s answer to “The Daily Show.”
But it didn’t quite work out, which seems odd, since the Rightie talking point on progressive talk radio has always been that “It can’t work, because LIBERALS don’t have a sense of humor.” Well, guess who’s [...]

[OUR STORY SO FAR: This refers to the ongoing New Republic/Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp "controversy" that has raged in the Rightie blogosmear since the Rupert Murdoch-owned, William Kristol-edited Weekly Standard's BLOG, run by Michael Goldfarb, called for, on July 18, "Fact or Fiction? A mission for milbloggers:" and then used the blog as a central [...]

Our Top Ten Postings
Evidently you CAN fool some people all the time
Three Webrings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Red States where the Shadows lie.
One Webring to rule them all,
One Webring to find them,
One Webring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them
In the Red States where the Shadows lie.

Jabberwocky
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two!
And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, hast though slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
