Credit Where It's Due


The 'stache of understanding's column is actually pretty good today.

No Press


"Collateral damage" like this probably explains this.

And...you know, the more I contemplate Israel's excuse for the offensive, the less justified it seems. If they wanted to stop Hamas rocket attacks, it's a virtual certainty they could have done so some time ago. Let's stop mythologizing "poor little defenseless Israel." It's a mature, sophisticated nation--it has to be, given the politics of the region. The Israeli military and intelligence apparatus are absolutely blue-chip/first-rate...in fact, it would not surprise me if they knew as much about Hamas rocket attacks as some elements of Hamas itself.

Sorry, but I'm not buying their story.

Insight into the wingnut, um, for lack of a better word, mindset:

Conservatives are now brushing off the Schiavo case to use it against Thomas Perrelli, President-elect Obama’s pick for the no. 3 spot at the Justice Department. Right-wing websites are outraged at Obama’s association with Perrelli, since he was one of the lawyers who represented Michael Schiavo, who wanted his wife’s feeding tube removed.

Knock yourselves out, wingnuts...and I mean that sincerely.

One day even more people are going to miss the shit-flavored Kool-Aid as much as I'm missing it already. Please, can I have some more?

History's Lessons


You know, one thing I can't figure out is why anyone thinks the military option will work this time...in the end, it's really just a particularly cruel case of kick-the-can-down-the-road some more, with pro-war, pro-misery factions on both sides profiting from the tragedy.

Last Chance for Chintz


Soon to be going out of business in Crawford. Which, in a sense, is fitting: Mr. MBA President is bad for his local and global economy.

Of course, "local" is a relative term, what with Shrub closing down the prop ranch and moving to Dallas...

Bonus pick from last month's snowstorm...with a nice fireworks display pasted in.

Here's to a hopeful 2009.
