It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over (Even When It's Over For You)

It would be so nice to have leaders who weren't compelled to say stupid shit: poor ol' Jeb! looked at America's being #2 in the Gold medal count, and #1 in the Olympic medal count, overall, and decided that wasn't good enough - we should now be looking at total world domination. 

If only HE had been President instead of Donald Trump. 

Please clap.

 

A Friendly Note To Scott Walker: Do NOT Chime In Here

Bush showed quicker self-exposure than most were expecting - even from the Right

"I like Charles Murray books to be honest with you, which means I'm a total nerd I guess,..."

No, guess again: it means something else,...

The Slave Catchers Turned Their Backs On NY's Mayor

Anybody still thinking "race doesn't matter"? So much so that whether or not Jeb Bush is running for president was last week's most important story? Really? 

I guess I've just been intellectually outclassed again.

So what have we got now? New York City police officers have decided to look more like a New York City gang, throwing a temper tantrum with guns, saying it's "wartime" against,...someone (let me guess!) because they've lost two of their own. I wonder who will get hurt under this "wartime" against a dead man? Tell me: is it common to make this kind of declaration, against a vaguely-defined enemy, whenever cop killers are out there - and even after we know the perp has killed himself? 

It strikes me as an odd thing to do and say, that does not scream "To Protect And To Serve" at all. More like something they'd say to reinforce the idea they're even more determined to strike,...someone.

So does turning their backs to their - our - elected officials. Or declaring those officials to have blood on their hands for trying to protect their own children from a very real threat - the cops - because those kids have black skin.

As events move forward on these re-examinations of American history, I think the NYPD would be on much safer ground to claim, and remember, a slave catcher's job was always to simply do as they were told:

Enforcing society's justice, and injustices - not their own - as this society sees fit.

And then start acting like it.

And not like just some common gang,...

Republicans Carry On As If Their Image Hasn't Changed

"Every single Romney donor we spoke with this week listed the former Florida governor as their top choice."

Listen To Cons Chatter (And Find That's All There Is)

The Crazy Vote. Mark Levin says "I Will Do Everything I Can To Make Sure Christie Is Not The Nominee." Because actually picking someone from our "side," who the American public can get behind, is madness. "I bet he's done ten great things, but he hasn't done enough." Levin says. So, the man who said he'd be glad to fight with the hopeless Romney as president won't fight with Christie, though he's got an actual shot at winning. Like I said, Mark's gone crazy.

 

 Rand Paul - being not a Birther - wins the less-crazy vote. Sounds like he's been listening to his dad, who called his dust-up with Christie "irrelevant" and seemed embarrassed his boy has learned so little. Good.

 

 BTW - shades of Obama - isn't that reporter in the last clip the same one who, unprompted, called George W. Bush a monkey? Why yes, yes it is. Curious thing, that.

 The semi-sane vote. Charlie seems to think the R's have an attractive field with Chris Christie and an assortment of obvious wannabes and milk toasts (Please stop putting Bobby Jindal in front of me - it's not going to happen). He's right, that Hillary can be beat, that she's an unattractive candidate. So what do you do? Right now, playing to our strengths, we elect Christie and deal with that fall-out afterwards.

But first, as always, we haveta win,....
