Saturday Herd

Why is the right-wing hating on John McCain? Because he’s about to lock up the nomination and will want to run in the general election as a moderate - and now all of this moronic stuff about him not being conservative will be used as evidence that this moronic stuff about him not being [...]

Rainy Night in Jersey

For your consideration while you read:

David Ruffin, ladies and gentlement.
If we don’t serve the fat, are we guilty of being a weight-ist? Or are we just being enablers if we do. And, regardless of how you argue that, do we need a law about it?

Around Mid-day: Cutting the herd

Mitt Romney is saying that John McCain is the reincarnation of Richard Nixon. For my part, I don’t think it’s possible to be reincarnated twice at the same time - so I’ll say George W. Bush already rules in the spirit of Tricky Dick.

Mid-Day Herd

It’s the day after the last George W. Bush State of the Union address. Here’s what (some) people are saying:

Can I sell you something? The President as a failed salesman.

Even by moderate standards, George Bush has been a failure.

Evening Herd

It looks like Democrats killed the cloture vote on the FISA bill that would give telecoms immunity.

Tonight is the State of the Union address, but Bob Villa is no where to be found.

New York’s NOW chapter is mad that their candidate didn’t get Ted Kennedy’s endorsement. Welcome to democracy and pluralism.
