It has a tendency to be a REAL bitch at the most inopportune times.

**UPDATE**

Yeah, this one doesn’t appear to be true either. He givith and he taketh away.

They’re just a little nuttier than us. Gotta love Cox & Forkum.

Well, well, well. Imagine this. A duplicitous politican talking out of both sides of his bought-and-paid-for-by-lobbyists head.

I think we may have heard the last of the Democratic flogging on the “culture of corruption” meme, for awhile anyway.

Drudge is blaring the the GOP is forcing a vote on pulling out from Iraq, essentially putting the Democrats in the position of backing our troops FIGHTING A WAR or the anti-war left.

GOP Pulls Fast One…
Tells Dems: Pull Troops Now? Okay, then let’s vote!!!!!
Tonight. 7 p.m.
Ultimate showdown

If this vote actually happens, it could essentially deal a death-blow to the anti-war “movement.”

**UPDATE**

It appears the vote is going to happen, in the House, tonight. I’d hate to be Hillary right about now.

WOW.

For decades, Republicans have struggled to reach out to black Americans. But now in Orange County, the GOP has to reach no further than the NAACP.

As of this week, Derrick Wallace, head of Orange County’s NAACP, has switched parties — to become a Republican.

“I’ve thought about this for two years,” Wallace said Tuesday afternoon, just a few hours after returning from the elections office. “This is not a decision I made yesterday.”

It is, however, a decision that rang out like a shot among political circles.

Republican Party leader Lew Oliver described himself as “extraordinarily pleased,” while Democratic leader Tim Shea said he was disappointed.

Wallace, a construction-company exec, was candid about the fact that his business life was a big part of his decision to change.

“It’s purely a business decision. Ninety percent of those I do business with are Republicans,” he said. “Opportunities that have come to my firm have been brought by Republicans.”

To that, Shea responded: “I’m a little confused. Are we talking about the National Association for the Advancement of Construction Professionals — or Colored People?”

The beginning of the end of the Democratic strangle-hold on the Black vote in this country? Maybe.

C’mon Janice Rogers Brown! I am laughing my butt off that People For the American Way uses this as an argument AGAINST her.

DUBYA! What are ya waitin’ for???

**UPDATE**

[P]rivate property, already an endangered species in California, is now entirely extinct in San Francisco…I would find the HCO [San Francisco Residential Hotel Unit Conversion and Demolition Ordinance] preempted by the Ellis Act and facially unconstitutional. …Theft is theft even when the government approves of the thievery. Turning a democracy into a kleptocracy does not enhance the stature of the thieves; it only diminishes the legitimacy of the government. …The right to express one’s individuality and essential human dignity through the free use of property is just as important as the right to do so through speech, the press, or the free exercise of religion.

You got that right, sister!

Start your week out right with a good ol’ roll on the floor laughing you a$$ off.

Match, meet Gasoline.

I have to say I disapprove. Not in that finger-wagging way, because I have had secret thoughts of doing a little public desecration myself (and I feel very guilt about it - sort-of), but in that “you should really exhibit a little more self-control” kinda way.
