Pony Boy is on a roll. Crescent, to be precise.
He's heading for turd!
I'm really not the one obsessed with ponies, you know.
That's Atrios' thing.

It's too bad they could not get Pat Buchanan to speak at eschacon '08.

I'd pay cash money to see that.

I would, too. He seems like a genial person, but with a black, black heart.

I should be more precise. What I'm paying to see is NOT Buchanan actually speak. I figure by the second sentence Atriots would have him on the floor, beating the daylights out of him 
Stop horsing around guys.
Dishonest John wants YOU!

constructing an Iron Lady persona
In America, "constructing an Iron Lady persona" is long-hand for "bitch".
Wait, now Hillary's going to be an Iron Lady? Is it possible to be a shrill harpy and Thatcher-esque at the same time?
However we withdraw from Iraq - and McCain wants us to withdraw as much as Obama - al Qaeda will say it's a victory for them.
When we withdraw for Iraq, it will be dominated by Shiites. Hardly a victory for al Qaeda.
John McCain's a man's man...he puts hair on your back.
I can always find Atta's posts by following the dotted line.
Sully said "buttressing". Heh heh heh.
See? Repug - Dem - not a dime's worth of difference.

What's the old joke?
When we were an empire, we had an emperor.
When we were a kingdom, we had a king.
Now we're a country, and we've got Margret Thatcher.
Mr Sullivan is a very silly man.

Not matter which side we choose, Iran benefits. Thanks George W. Bush.
Would an "Iron Lady" "cackle"?

He couldn't have done more for Iran if he had been publicly on their payroll.
McCain is our Kitchener - he's got the attitude and bad temper, but lacks the ability to see the future that K of K had.
But he STILL wants YOU!

Unfortunately, based on her recent behavior, it wouldn't surprise me.

Hey, that makes sense. How can Dumbya look into a soul that doesn't speak English. At least Pootie-Poot knows how to say "No."

It must be true because Jerry Falwell said it.
However we withdraw from Iraq - and McCain wants us to withdraw as much as Obama - al Qaeda will say it's a victory for them.
I don't care what alQ says. A smart US president would reframe our involvement AWAY from "win/loss". And what we do is not about getting alQ to do/say the right thing.

If Bush was going to identify with them, wouldn't they speak gibberish?

But McCain was on a conference call with Petraeus & Osama and they both agreed we should stay.
Bush officials have embraced ISCI because, unlike Sadr, its leaders speak English.
This is a moronic enough reason that it might actually be true.
Can he take a slow boat to Russia?
Hah, good one.
He can set up new divisions of Sedona Pals, and send them into Basra.
Or he can start shelling Baghdad with a giant gun, which will be called Big Barbara, in honor of BB.
I don't care what alQ says. A smart US president would reframe our involvement AWAY from "win/loss". And what we do is not about getting alQ to do/say the right thing.
"A smart US president" -- there's your problem right there.

Yes, but do they speak Freedom Nugget™?

...just like the US propaganda on the deck of that carrier with a banner that read Mission Accomplished - we are WAY better at propaganda than almost anyone else
MSNBC sez Feb was weakest gain in consumer spending in 17 months. But hey, the fundamentals are sound.

Hi from the Atlanta airport.
I wish Sully were going to be at Eschacon so we could throw rotten fruit and shit at him. He's such an idiot.

So far, I'm successfully resisting the urge to fix your typo.
I'll keep you posted.
Media rolling over for the Pentagon-speak. On CNN this morning, and also at the ABC web site, the news is of "coalition jets" bombing in Basra. The only jets bombing in Iraq these days are U.S. jets. The "coalition" tag is just the media steno-typing the Pentagon press releases. Would it be too much honesty for them to simply say "U.S. jets" and "U.S. military"? Or is Iceland's air force now involved?
I've got those yellow stain blues....Strawberries! Disloyal officers!

Now I'm curious. Go ahead, give in to temptation. Unless it's going to cause me to run for the brain bleach, that is.

I don't think we'd trust the Iraqi Army with a Piper Cub at this point.

I wrote two weeks ago about why I supported Senator Barack Obama for President. I delved into the issues and produced a number of well thought out reasons why we should make him the most powerful person in the world. I thought they were all pretty convincing … at the time.
Since then, many of my classmates, some of them close friends of mine, have taken issue with my analysis and expressed their sincere dismay that I feel the way I do. I have even received hateful emails from readers outside the Law School. After a few rounds of deep meditation and consultation with my closest compadres, I have come to the conclusion that I was mistaken. I now throw my full support behind Senator John McCain. The future is too uncertain and the stakes are too high to trust the Presidency to anyone else.
To save you the time of actually thinking through your political beliefs and coming to a sensible and reasoned opinion, as I have done, I’ve included all the necessary research on John McCain below. Here is why you should vote for him next fall:
Political speech must be regulated.
John McCain firmly believes that political power in this country is vested in each and every ordinary American. He trusts in our traditions of free speech and expression to maintain vital and productive political debates—and fair outcomes. However, John McCain is no fool. He has the wisdom to realize that those same ordinary Americans can become very dangerous when they band together in great numbers. That’s why he fought hard for nearly a decade to pass bipartisan campaign finance reform legislation that would limit the pernicious effects of mixing free association with political speech.
BAGHDAD - U.S. warplanes carried out at least two airstrikes overnight in Basra for the first time since clashes between Shiite militias and Iraqi security forces erupted in the southern oil port this week, a British official said Friday.
Shiite militants also clashed with government forces for a fourth day in Iraq's oil-rich south and sporadic fighting broke out in Baghdad, despite a weekend curfew in the capital.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has promised "no retreat" in the fight against militias in Basra despite growing anger among followers of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army.
The crackdown has intensified Sadrist anger over recent raids and detentions. They say U.S. and Iraqi forces have taken advantage of their seven-month-old cease-fire to target the movement.

mogwai, I think Mr. Hartman intended that as satire. Sadly, law schools these days don't teach it the way they should.

That's pretty good snark (for a law student)
You've got me confused. Sullivan has been in favor of a swift withdrawal for going on four years. Are you trying to imply otherwise?
..al Qaeda will say it's a victory for them.
By this same logic, America can do nothing but stay in Iraq forever and ever. Because to suffer a bad thing said about us is worse than the deaths of thousand of more Iraqi civilians and U.S. soldiers.
The Feb. 12 Sullivan quote is taken out of context:
"However we withdraw from Iraq - and McCain wants us to withdraw as much as Obama - al Qaeda will say it's a victory for them."
This sentence standing alone seems to suggest that Sullivan is proffering a reason not to withdraw. However, his comment in context means something quite different:
"However we withdraw from Iraq...al Qaeda will say it's a victory for them. What really matters is whether it is a victory for them..." (emphasis in original)
Sullivan wasn't saying we shouldn't withdraw because al Qaeda will declare victory, but rather that we shouldn't refrain from withdrawing for that reason. I realize the point of the post was not to criticize Sullivan's opinion about withdrawal per se, but I think it does grossly and unfairly misrepresent his view.

He's catching on more swiftly now.
