Keep Michael Steele on as RNC chair thats all I can say.
The man has issued howlers on a weekly basis since he got the job...I NEED to see this knucklehead try and guide the GOP thru a real election cycle...I just do.
Honestly does Steele pour out a big bowlful of stupid pills and imbecile capsules, put some milk on them then chow down like they are breakfast cereal or something??
This is the best show in town since Romney tried to go the "Share the Wealth" route last year in NH.

Bristol Palin has at last put the kibosh on her sham engagement to Levi Johnston, otherwise known as the father to her son, Tripp.
I feel bad for the kid, she seems pretty sensible from what I've see which admittedly ain't much. At the very least she has learned how little security and even sanctity there is in a policy of ignorance.
One last question though, did anyone here in America really believe those poor dumb kids were ever gonna get married fuh real, let alone be happy married??
My Ghod but we do like to watch some sordid spectacles with mute appreciation now don't we??
***
As for Grandma Sarah, well, the right thing happened with respect to her short term prospects so I think the very least she can do is hire a decent Nanny and buy her daughter a first class baby seat for the car.

This is just sad...
Word is on the street that the Boston Globe is hemorrhaging money...
Much as I like to snark at certain columnists thereon the news is akin to discovering that a maddeningly eccentric old uncle is headed back to the hospital for the last time...aged crazy but the only relation that was worth cultivating back in the day.
On the other hand, if it all does go to smash...what will become of Jeff Jacoby? $25.00 a week to blog on Freerepublic.com? He can always sing in the subways, the Red Line can use some new voices.

Mitt Romney prospers because
credulous journalists like Peter Canellos consistently misidentify his craven opportunism as "statesmanship".
If a democrat had changed his mind so relentlessly and so shamelessly purely in pursuit of higher office he or she would be pilloried and harangued til they were forced from public life.
The blood libel of all liberals in democrats in US politics is that of "indecision" which conjures crotch grabbing nightmares of Peter Sellers trying to cajole the Soviet Premier in "Dr. Strangelove" in the hearts of the American punditariat.
Romney though, need fear no such canard he has changed his mind on the issue of abortion alone some four times in the past twelve years and will change it twice more before the 2012 New Hamsphire Primary without demure one from the likes of Peter Canellos.
This howler which closes the above piece is particularly instructive:
"Last fall, when he first declared his willingness to let the carmakers fail, Romney seemed to be defying his own Michigan roots as the son of an auto executive. But as General Motors and Chrysler beg for more money amid ever-darkening prospects, Romney's position may actually be ahead of the curve; he may have seen something in the carmakers' prospects that others didn't see as clearly."
Ummm forget about last FALL Peter, last SPRING a mere six months before Romney turned hard hearted Randian on us, the Former Governor of Massachusetts was stumping Michigan howling like Huey Long gone mad on crystal meth that he'd reopen the auto factories by fair means or foul.
That does say "ahead of the curve" to me, it says "blustery and desperate" quite frankly.

Every year...
Spring comes to Massachusetts, laces on the boxing gloves and attempts to overthrow winter in final free for all gotterdammerung style brawl to the wall.
In short, spring once again gets it's ass thoroughly kicked...and winter bounds to the top ropes to leer at the chilled and frosty crowd.
That was the case this weekend...two good days and now it's snowing....hard.
Nothing left to do but make some coffee and watch Johnny Rivers.

Jonathan Krohn
the 13 year old pundit wows C-PAC with his spirited defense of U.S.wingnuttery.
At a time when the GOP is plainly intellectually bankrupt, the kid is a rising star...or maybe movement conservatism figures to get a young vigorous man to come in after the firefight to shoot their wounded for them.
Anyway, apparently young Jonathan Krohn is being "mentored" by none other than Dollar Bill Bennett, a hearty rubicund "Washington Outsider" who has made millions in the political action committee badger game.
So no doubt young Jonathan is learning all the ins and outs attendent on creating multiple hot button issue political action committees, fundraising like a wolverine in heat and then awarding oneself a preposterously huge million dollar salary on the basis of NEVER bringing said issue to any kind of resolution.
That and the six million large Bill blew on many many under-publicized trips to the gaming tables of Las Vegas...maybe he can also teach the kid when to walk away from the big states blackjack table.
So much mentoring to be absorbed....

Oh please GHOD!
Let this be true!
PLEASE LORD inspire Newt Gingrich to run for President in 2012...please please please!!??
That would be the ultimate four way thunderdome match, Sarah Palin and Piyush Jindal fighting over who is a bigger Forest Gumpian simpleton whilst Romney and Gingrich go toe to toe over who is a bettersmall gummintt fanatic....
And if Countryboy Mike Huckabee piles in crucifix and all, so much the better!!
Ah but lets face it, Newt has not running for President down to a science...making a profitable virtue of his narcissistic cowardice is one of the Former US House Speaker's lesser known abilities.
