So much for setting that good example I thought he was by going where his (liberal) heart took him. And heck – it makes sense. Him winning that seat was not a sure thing, unlike his job, where he can pay homage to the Dahlibama on MSDNC every week night with no real repercussions. But, [...]

As we all know, for years Hollywood has had this obsession with trying to make the American military and the wars it has fought into nothing more than heartless chest-thumping rage machines who maim and kill innocents indiscriminately (remember Brian De Palma? ‘Nuff said).

What – you didn’t really expect for them to have backbones made of more than jello, did you? I wonder how much the racial angle played into this, especially considering the loaded terms Rep.

I’d just like to take a moment to say “thanks!” to all who have voted for this blog so far in the “Best Large Blog” category. It’s an uphill battle, as we’ve got some stiff competition (there are other bloggers in that category who I really dig!), but there’s still plenty of time left, so [...]
