This is about as wrong as messaging gets. First there was the blatant lies about Bosnia, then, the utterly flat delivery on what could have actually been a funny April Fool’s Day joke, then … this abomination. WTF?
From the New York Times comes the following observation:
Mrs. Clinton has spent her whole life climbing the ladders [...]

Dr. Gov. DNC Chair Howard Dean sent me an email with a message:

Dear [bestest buddy] JM Bell,
John McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years. He’s said it, and it’s on tape.
But his campaign hates that he was caught. They’ve viciously attacked anyone who reminded the American people that he said it, including [...]

From the AP:
KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) — For Barack Obama, figuring out how to cap a long campaign day in basketball-crazy Indiana was a no-brainer — you shoot some hoops.
After a noisy campaign rally, Obama donned sweat pants and a “USMC” shirt for a little action on the courts, with no ordinary companions. His 3-on-3 team [...]

Funny stuff from Raw Story. On the anniversary of the breaking of the Abramoff scandal, the DCCC (an otherwise useless organisation) did something pretty funny. They sent an Abramoff impersonator to visit Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) (you may recall that he was one of the chief sucklers on Abramoff’s lobbyist teat).

The Abramoff poser, trailed by [...]

Prominent Constitutional law experts believe President Bush has engaged in at least, five categories of repeated, defiant “high crimes and misdemeanors”, which separately or together would allow Congress to subject the President to impeachment under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution. The sworn oath of members of Congress is to uphold the Constitution. Failure [...]

From D-Listed, something strange, yet, tasty sounding:
FAST food chain Burger King are to serve up the world’s most expensive takeaway – costing a whopping £85 ($170).
There’s no common old meat in this burger. It will contain top-quality Kobe beef from Japan. And instead of ketchup and cheddar, it will be garnished with foie gras – [...]

From WYFF in South Carolina:

JONESVILLE, S.C. — The sign in front of a small church in a small town is causing a big controversy in Jonesville, S.C.
Pastor Roger Byrd said that he just wanted to get people thinking. So last Thursday, he put a new message on the sign at the Jonesville Church of God.
It [...]

From WESH.com out of Orlando (because they had video) …
OCALA, Fla. — Wesley Snipes was sentenced to 36 months in prison Thursday, the maximum sentence allowed. Snipes was convicted of three misdemeanor charges for not filing his taxes. During the sentencing, Snipes did apologize.
“I asked this court to show me mercy and the opportunity to [...]

There’s a fight brewing between the McCain campaign and the North Carolina Republican Party over an ad that the NC GOP wants to run. The ad is racist, at its core, and seems to paint a picture that Obama hates America because his pastor thinks that Freedom of Speech means … well, freedom to speak.
From [...]

From the fashion icons at I Don’t Like You In That Way, we learn that Billy Zane (The Phantom, Demon Knight) is an idiot. And I don’t mean an idiot for actually taking a role in the movie BloodRayne (which was one of dozens of bad carreer choices) but … Let me explain in pictures:
This [...]

IU was in the car last night for a couple of chunks of the debate … did anyone catch if they did a disclaimer on Lil’ Georgie having worked for the Clintons and basically owing his entire career to them? Just wondering.

The Nightside Project altered their format a little bit and, as such, I was on for a full hour last night. Ethan and I discussed the Democratic Debate in Pennsylvania from earlier last evening and we both expressed our concern and disdain for both Charlie Gibson and George Stepenopolis and their pointless, Clinton sycophantic blathering, [...]
