Thursday, November 6
- Okay, coffee break's over. Everybody back on their heads! Obama win does not end racism, activists say
- Ann Coulter : The Reign of Lame Falls Mainly on McCain
We're all winners because we will never again have to hear McCain say, "my friends."... How many times do we have to run this experiment before Republican primary voters learn that "moderate," "independent," "maverick" Republicans never win, and right-wing Republicans never lose?
- neo-neocon "There’s something so distorting about these political obsessions. Our private loves and our work are so much more important. Of course, that’s the thing: what we fear is that the political will intrude into those private spaces. But I’ve been so hypervigilant that I’ve forgotten to live the life I want to see protected."
- Exurban League: Get them while the gettin's good, Part Deux What kind of gun to buy if you're buying only four.
- Metaphors don't kill people: First the Bankers Shoot them now. We will turn to the Republican Party pols, collaborators and deserters by name next: who is to be shot, who goes to the Gulag, who just disappears.
- iowahawk: Election Analysis: America Can Take Pride In This Historic, Inspirational Disaster It reminds us of how far we've come, and it's something everyone in our nation should celebrate in whatever little time we now have left.
- You can't make this shit up, but evidently scientists can: Dried Mushrooms Slow Climate Warming In Northern Forests
- Not returning to power soon, if ever:
As for conservatives and mainstream libertarians: forget it. You've lost. You're in roughly the same position as a Southern segregationist in 1968. History may or may not vindicate your cause, but it has determined your chance of victory, which is zero. If you have a life, go live it. If not, now is probably a good time to get one.
- Potential Obama Appointments: The burning question now is whether or not blogger Andrew Sullivan will be named "First Lewinski."
- Dr. Bob is taking some of his time back:
Time, too, to shut out much of the noise which has become the norm. No reason to read newspapers or watch TV news — the information they provide is neither valuable nor truthful, and is best ignored, serving only to confuse and propagandize. Far too much time is wasted on the web; popular political blogs — even those with whom I agree — serve mainly to keep one’s outrage at fever pitch.
- At the front of a long line: Obama campaign workers angry over unpaid wages (Just wait until they look at their witholding in a year or so.)
- Assistant Village Idiot on Refusing To Win Wars We don’t have the stomach for it.
- recessionista (noun): a woman who updates her wardrobe in a frugal manner New word @ The Open Dictionary
- Victor Hanson notes that Obamacons will be orphaned since there are too many more liberal in line ahead of them to enjoy Obama's graces...
- Sippican Cottage: If You Lived Here, You'd Be Crapi Now A list of only a dozen or so words allowed for naming tract-house neighborhoods.
- One Cosmos: Hanging Around the Center of the Cosmos Does anyone imagine that a mere election could ever shift Maher's psychic poles, so that he is not a hardened homunculus of hatred?
- Donald Sensing on that war we "won:" Al Qaeda in Iraq will be revived and the country will be embroiled in insurgency civil war.
- Hey, let’s have our side give away ice cream too! - Compassionate conservatism, RIP
- Craiglist Robber, Caught Back in late September, you'll recall, an enterprising heist-man held up an armored car, deployed decoys hired in a Craigslist ad to distract witnesses, and then escaped by floating down a nearby creek in an inner tube.
- Langauge Lessons In case you hadn't noticed, the current euphemism for "communist" is "progressive." ... (But I tire of the C-word - let's go back to calling them "progressives.")
