I am not in the [...]

From the Confederate Yankee:

This isn’t quite that funny. It’s more amusing, in a David Cronenberg sort of way (He’s not really amusing). I’ve often wondered why some conservatives believe that God and religion are the sole province of their party. Does God love Republicans more than Independents and Democrats? Anyone with half a brain cell would say no, [...]

I’ve written very little about the Tiger Woods’ imbroglio, but I never considered it significant– thus, I wrote about it with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek– refusing to prattle on like the rest of the civilized world is. Then I came across this article by Kevin McCullough of Townhall, a conservative political and [...]

The days of humility and decency are gone, ascending in a plume of wildfire smoke:
“I had a dream we were married and I was leading the tournament,” Woods reportedly wrote. “I came home, excited to see you, and there you were in the bedroom getting f–ked by Derek and David [Boreanaz]. Some part of me [...]

Andrew Sullivan thinks Cheney is speaking treason:
“Here’s a guy without much experience, who campaigned against much of what we put in place … and who now travels around the world apologizing,” Cheney said. “I think our adversaries — especially when that’s preceded by a deep bow … — see that as a sign of weakness.”

This is a comment from my boy Ta-nehisi Coates’ blog:

Well, now we got something! The Senate voted for the right to talk about health care reform over the weekend. That doesn’t sound right does it? Haven’t they been talking about this for months now?
