The one bit of light is that no one reads papers anymore. I quit once I discovered the bloggidy world. Fishwrappers? Who needs them!

I blame the educational system, television and video games. That Noonan, Dowd, Kristol, Broder, Cohen, Krauthammer, etc. still write under the imprimatur of national newspapers is a clear sign that no one else in America can write 500-1200 words of clear prose with a definable premise. The continuing employment of the aforementioned columnists, especially in the face of the fact that they’ve never been right about anything in their benighted fucking lives must be proof of the paucity of alternatives.

Or it just could be that the editorial boards of the papers just prefer a vigorous circle jerk with “the right sort of people.”

Where is that picture from? It reminds me of the girl Paul Newman meets in a bar in the original “The Hustler”.

My brain simply won’t take in certain things. One of them is Noonan. I can watch her being interviewed and not retain a single word.
The mind is kind. Either that or it’s early-onset Alzheimer’s that’s selective along political fault lines.

This is the speech she really wants Hillary to give.

While she watches, controlling the TV remote with her one free hand.

In related news–
Noted blogger, author, and terrible asshole Lee “The Dingo Ate My Baby” Siegel appears last night on the The Daily Show and is beaten like a red-headed step-child by John “The Baby-faced Assassin” Stewart. Good fun.

I wonder if this is how Peggy thinks of Reagan? That he was just another desperate, dissembling politician until Peggy put The Truth in his mouth.

When the dolphins leave, Peg is gonna be soooo lonely…

Fortunately, the Earth will be destroyed shortly afterwards, so it won’t last long.

Wasn’t Peg the one who said in 2000 that watching George W. Bush mature on the campaign trail was a thing of beauty?

Watching the goopers implode under the weight of their own corruption, incompetence and treason — a thing of beauty, indeed.
