It’s been a while since I’ve done any single issue Nightly Ramble. A couple months, I believe. This won’t be one of them, but… let’s try it this way, just once and see how the format works. A longer subject at the lead, followed by some shorter ones. I just want to see how this [...]
Hillary Clinton has now joined John McCain in proposing the most irresponsible policy idea of the year—an idea that actually could aid the terrorists.

Did you see the story about the prisoner in an Arkansas jail suing the county because he’s lost over 100lbs while in jail? Seems to me the Prisoner owes the state a rather large sum of dollars, or at least thanks. Do you know how many people are paying the long buck for mail-order food [...]

Karl Rove’s advice to BO, via Jeralyn, Talk Left: When you’re on the defense, as with Rev. Wright, choose one explanation and stick to it. BO circa March 18, via Mark Silva, Swamp: “I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community,” Obama said of Wright. “I can no more disown [...]
