The GOP Presidential Clown Car Tour is going exactly as planned. It started out "fair and balanced," complete with a woman and a minority competing. It was "openly competitive," with four different candidates holding the lead. And it winds down with Romney left standing, who coincidentally is also the GOP's choice.

Getaway Driver: I Saw Officer Figoski Shooter With Gun
He said that he hadn’t previously known (alleged shooter Lamont) Pride...He said his friend asked him to give Pride and the gang a ride in exchange for gas money. An out-of-work maintenance man, he said he saw it as a chance to support his wife and 9-month-old daughter. He claims he waited nearby, per Pride’s instruction. And when they never came back, he said, he drove home.
He’s lying, cops say. Velez’s getaway car was pinned in by police vehicles right after the robbery. Surveillance footage that played repeatedly online and on TV also showed him walking away from the crime scene as scores of cops flooded the area. Velez has already racked up at least four arrests...one for attempted murder — and was on probation...
If you gave the ride in exchange for "gas money," then you DIDN'T make money -- you only broke even. When you saw the gun, didn't it occur to you that a) you could end up charged as an accomplice to whatever happened, which b) would be a violation of your probation? And though you don't deserve any charity, I'll presume that this attempt at public sympathy harvesting was because you DIDN'T know there was video of you leaving the crime scene on foot.
In short, you've outsmarted yourself with a capital "out." As Keith Olbermann says, "Genius, I tells ya!"

This just in: The temperature in hell has just hit a balmy 32 degrees Farenheit.
Well done, Time -- and I'd say that even if I hadn't voted.
They've made so many stupid and gutless calls over the years that ridiculing them has become one of my Christmastime traditions. When I voted, I also posted that they'd never vote for "You" a second time. Well, I hereby apologize to Time, and may it always feel this good to be proven wrong!

While their intentions are honorable, their priorities are out of whack
I applaud the couple's not wanting to have their next child "by accident." But I think it's WAY too soon for them to have another one given their financial situation and the economy in general.
Their annual outlay exceeds their annual intake by more than ten THOUSAND dollars -- THAT'S the problem they should be focusing on solving. Bolstering their security (both financially AND logistically) is what they should be devoting themselves to over the next few years.

Frum was an employee of the rightwing think tank American Enterprise Institute
who apparently had no problem with his writing this barely a week BEFORE the 2008 election:
I could pile up the poll numbers here, but frankly, it's too depressing...McCain's awful campaign is having awful consequences down the ballot...
But he was "terminated" by AEI just days after this was published about healthcare reform being passed:
I’ve been on a soapbox for months now about...(how)...our overheated talk...has made it impossible for representatives to represent and elected leaders to lead...Rush Limbaugh...said that he wanted President Obama to fail...What...is equally true is that he also wants Republicans to fail...If Republicans succeed...Rush’s listeners get less angry. And if they are less angry, they listen to the radio less, and hear fewer ads...
Frum was free to criticize the "alternative-knowledge-system" -- and even in the voice of a moderate conservative -- as long as he wasn't criticizing the REAL system. Spitting in the eyes of McCain and Palin when he was supposed to be glorifying them wasn't grounds for termination; stepping on the toes of Limbaugh and the Rethug leadership was. And he's said that he's going to vote Republican no matter what anyway? I don't trust him any farther than I can throw an elephant. Cue the DU "Cry Me A River" String Quartet!
