That big protest we heard about last night – the one that would force NBC to fire Letterman by show of the will of the people? Well we now have a new definition of fail: A protest rally against David Letterman over a failed joke about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her daughter attracted more […]
By far the best analogy I have heard of Bobby Jindal’s speech so far, and it was by a Republican.
Glenn Greenwald has an excellent timeline put together highlighting the growth of this whole lipstick bullshit. It really shows you how an innocent analogy gets turned into the most talked about controversy, with the help of the media and internets.
Yes it is such an uncommon analogy to use. So uncommon that McCain’s former adviser, Torie Clarke, even wrote a book: I seem to remember a not-so old quote that certainly applies to this; “you are stuck on stupid” (you being the McCain campaign).

Joe Lieberman has offically conceded the race and now is running an independent. He used some bullshit sports analogy to say this is just the first half and in the second half he will lead “team Connecticut” to victory in November. Lieberman called what happened “old politics of partisanship”. Old poltics? How the hell does […]
