Star Wars according to a 3 year old.

Sheer genius.

Xerox This, Hilldawg.

Ain't it just like a Clinton - not less than a week after bounding on 10 seconds of an Obama speech that was borrowed from a supporter and friend (and not even that well, mind you), Hillary uses key lines from a few other presidential candidates to try and pull her campaign out of a death spiral, and all the more blatently/perfectly stolen.

Witness to Madness

(this one's been in draft for 2 weeks, so please forgive - the humor remains fresh. - Ed.)The entire crazy overanalysis of this election season reminds me a lot of some other news coverage I've seen before...



But then there's the spin, including the rhetoric of the states that matter, so it sort of balances out. I mean, what would Tracy Flick say?



Still, it's great to see our man soaring ahead in the primaries and his streak through the heartland of America has driven a stake through the vampiric "black candidate" rumors the Clinton machine tried to attach to him back in South Carolina. Methinks Hillary's Guilani-like last stand will end in a similar fashion as Mr. 9/11's, and superdelegates - who are terrified of deciding the election the same way the Supreme Court did 2000's - will get on the winning team. Maybe this will all be over by late March as Howard Dean hopes. Cross your fingers, lads.

Bad Fanfic, Ahoy!

'SIR - Your reivew of a book on happiness and where to find it mentioned that Republicans are happier than Democrats. This can probably be explained in the same way that dogs are happier than their owners; they can't grasp the concept of cleaning up the mess they leave behind.'
