This is Daisy, who is, as you can see, blessed with great physical beauty. She’s even got matching beauty moles. She is somewhat vain in consequence. I tell both my dogs that they’re smart girls, good girls, beautiful girls. But with Daisy, it is definitely the latter that resonates. She takes in the sun like [...]

BoogerGate: Digging for the Truth
Thanks to alert Balloon Juice commenter WereBear, I learned that Rush Limbaugh was possibly caught on film picking his snoot in Patriot owner Robert Kraft’s booth during last night’s Super Bowl. There is much speculation about it on the Google: Did he or didn’t he shove his finger knuckle-deep into his nostril in full view [...]

Useful Images
Angry DougJ is definitely onto something with this “useful idiots” idea: One of the great victories of conservatism was framing every debate as the real, Tebow-fearing Murkins versus the dirty hippies who spit on soldiers. Is there anyway the left could try to do the same with banskters and bankster fanboys? A few months ago, [...]

Let Me See What Spring is Like on Jupiter and Mars
He really is a piece of work: In a speech pandering to Florida’s aerospace community ahead of the state’s primary, GOP contender Newt Gingrich made a bold pledge to establish a permanent U.S. base on the moon “by the end of my second term.” He further promised that if he becomes president, America will get [...]

Big Sis probes Baby Doc’s poop chute
Dr. Ron Paul’s son, US Senator Rand “Baby Doc” Paul, set off one of Janet “Big Sis” Napolitano’s terrorist alerts at an airport TSA checkpoint today. After refusing a pat-down by leering Big Sis operatives, Baby Doc was forcibly removed from the line and dragged to a “private screening area,” where he received a full [...]

Shit jobs Mitt Romney never had
If you, like me, lacked the foresight to choose multimillionaire parents, you’ve probably experienced a series of shit jobs at some point in your life – low-paying, unpleasant employment for which you were nonetheless at least grudgingly grateful because, you know, food. Mitt Romney chose his parents so wisely that he never had to worry [...]

Deep thought
When a powerful person lies in public or directly to a journalist’s face, that is a noteworthy event. Also known as news. It might be worth writing about.

Pot. Kettle.
It is Christmas, so I will refrain from making too much of Megan McArdle (of all people) criticising anyone for factual inaccuracies and distortions: The reservoir of this disease of erroneous infographics is internet marketers who don’t care whether the information in their graphics is right … just so long as you link it. As [...]

Gather ’round and Hegel
Jesus. The only explanations I can come up with for Conrad Black’s latest at Notional Review are that he has been smoking something really strong, or is having a massive stroke. Since Newt Gingrich is a completely unfeasible president, the question pops up, like a cobra’s head, of why he is now the leading contender [...]

Please, for the love of Oakeshott, stop digging
Sullivan defending Ron Paul. One might ask: which current Republican candidate has not been “part of coalition who saw bigotry as a potent political force”? So, um, don’t vote Republican.

This Deceased Equine Quadriped Has Been Pretty Well Whacked, But…
...I’ve never thought enough was that much better than too much, so here, a brief (for me) reaction about the now-notorious Gene Marks piece in Forbes. (With apologies to ABL, DougJ, and John, all of whom get this “timely” thing waaaay better than yours truly.) I popped these thoughts up in response to this piece [...]

Indoctrinating kids
Eric Bolling, a male FOX news reader best known for playing himself in the film Idiocracy, has an odd habit of yelling at muppets. You have to give Bolling some credit – with all the times a scrappy band of misfits saves the rec center with a spunky musical number, nobody ever gives much thought [...]

Brought to you with the blessing of supply side Jesus
Remember that case last year when firefighters let a house burn down because the homeowner had not paid his annual fee? You would think that people in that community, which eliminated its fire department over budget issues, would have learned to keep up on their dues. Nope. On the plus side, clearly Obion County officials [...]

Some Floridians are More Equal Than Others
I can’t for the life of me figure out how this is legal: In the current race to the bottom to see which state can provide the most degraded and dehumanizing environment for undocumented immigrants, Arizona and Alabama have grabbed the headlines. But largely unnoticed, it is Florida, home to nearly one million Cuban refugees [...]
