[...] – Doubleplusundead scoffs at John McCain’s “outreach” to evangelicals. – Matt Lewis is already planning for 2010. I have some bad news; if we don’t take care of business in 2008, there definitely won’t be a home for conservatives in the GOP in 2010. – Charlie Sykes notes that, at a time of historically-high gas prices (and climbing), the official position of the Doyle administration is to jack up the federal gas tax by 40 cents per gallon. You can bet I’ll have more to say on that once I finish sobering up (I did the legwork last night before Drinking Right, which unlike SAB Miller and Absolut Vodka, is a good call). – Marshall Manson says, “Just fix it.” – Sister Toldjah has your Obama quote of the week. – Jon Ham has the outrageous headline-that-cost-somebody-her-job headline of the week, which in this case helped cause an Obama staffer to lose her job. – I know Drinking Right was yesterday, but it’s a triple-shot weekday on Obama; Anwyn notes the campaign very-actively practices affirmative action. – Make it quad damage; Carol Platt Liebau questions the objectivity of one Martha Raddatz of ABC News, who magically found “80% support” for Obama among the troops in Iraq. – Jim Hoft spotlights the next likely Hiliary lie. You don’t take just 7 years off of bowling and do as bad as she did on Ellen Degeneres’ show (I should know; I’ve taken 7 years off and my game, such as it is, didn’t slip that bad). – Speaking of that, Paddy O’Furniture has a word picture puzzle. Since he’s too shy chicken (I should know the difference, I’m shy) to ask Katie to jump in, I guess this will have to count as the invitation. – Bill Quick continues to hammer the Scandi-owned Absolut. – Ace goes straight to the lightly-blocked crapper. – Tom McMahon pulls out a classic quote from a liberal icon to skewer the Left. – Ed Morrissey reports a highly-placed politician (leader of his party, actually) had his wholly-owned subsidiary that controlls that locale’s elections declare it “dangerous” to release the results of the biggest election of that locale. Doyle’s kicking himself that it was Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe that thought of this particular method of vote suppression first, and that he didn’t think of it before April 1. – CDR Salamander says, “Good, bad, the Osprey is about to be the chopper with the gun.” He also notes there isn’t exactly a sense of history among those who feel salt spray (F-4 sans gun, meet F-35 B/C sans gun). – Lance Burri has some Blogging Healthy tips from the Badger Blog Alliance. My work here is done. [link] [...]

“I would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I’m not as expert on” the senator is quoted on Huffington Post today.

Sorry, Senator. I’m not becoming a Dem just to bail you out.

“I would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I’m not as expert on”

By my calculations that narrows the selection down to just over a billion possibilities, which of course includes residents of the 80 countries Hillzilla flew over and lets not forget the four legged, winged and spineless creatures.

“I would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I’m not as expert on”

Almost anyone would fit that bill. Obama is a follower, propped up like a leader. It just seems to me that MO wants this more than BO, and she is out of her mind with some of her ideas. Talk about Hillary the sequel.

Also, didn’t the Goverments, both State and Federal, pretty much drive the tobacco industry out of business?? Who could blame Phillip Morris, the maker of Marlboro the #1 brand of cigarette sold, for closing their plant. The Fed was recently thinking about a brand new tax on a pack of cigarettes of 5.00 per carton. Since most people who smoke are the poor, I have to wonder when the poor are going to stand up and break the chains of their bonds from these slavers. – Lorica

Still no flag in the lapel, and he has more baggage than Hillary. Most of his friends and supporters appear to be muslim or radical black.
