It's over?
Ace seems to think so. I'm withholding judgment however, something tells me there's more fight in the old gal yet...
UPDATE 3/5/2008: Heh. Told'ja.

Obamamania
And to Barack Obama's credit he has carried a near-empty hand to triumph. That alone is testament to his political skill. But he has done it at the cost of not talking about the platform of his own party, which truth to tell, consists of a collection of rotting planks left over from the 1960s and which no one is safe treading upon. Instead of embarssing himself by talking about higher taxes, more appeasement and more special interest politics, Barack Obama has done the smart thing. He's talked about himself; about "us"; about the future, about Hope and most of all, about Change. The subliminal message is that we want to Move On. And part of what the electorate wants to Move On from is all the fermenting baggage that Hillary Clinton keeps hauling along. It's as neat a piece of conjury as has been seen for the last fifty years.
God help us all.
Da Flu
A world-class rumble develops at Ace's place- are you a dedicated worker when you come to work with a cold or the flu, or just a moron?

More outrage in Mississippi
The agnostic in me refuses to admit the possibility of the existence of Hell.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong. These f*cks need a couple of eternities of excruciating suffering, just as a good start.
I couldn't agree more. As someone who had an unfortunate brush with the law, I'm well aware how easily 'railroading' can happen- been there, got the t-shirt.

They fight back
Things are getting interesting down Gaza way-
A new Facebook group is urging Sderot residents to use the Internet to learn how to build crude rockets, much like the Kassams launched at them from the Gaza Strip, and fire them back at the Palestinians. The group, which currently has 45 members, posts material from the Internet on how to manufacture rockets.
Facebook, a social networking site that has taken the on-line world by storm, allows anyone to create groups and to invite people to join.
The group's creators, Shai and Batya Messenberg from Petah Tikva, posted a description that reads: "It cannot be so difficult: If those retards from the Gaza Strip can do it then so can you."
LOL. If the government won't protect you, you must take things into your own hands. Thanks, Rantburg!
BTW, TechnoChitlins turned 5 last Sunday- hooray for me!

9/11 musings
Brian Tiemann decides to look up what IMDB commenters have to say about a movie, but ends up here-
But what I don't get is this... this narrative. This "We are a silenced minority voice, repressed and marginalized" conceit. The bizarre idea that speaking out against the administration is some noble and risky act of bravery, nay, something "tantamount to treason"—something that doesn't take place for hours on end every single weeknight on Comedy Central and in the multiplexes and even at the freaking White House.
I understand the angst. Read it all, please- the guy makes too much sense.

27 Daily Affirmations
1. When I post under an assumed name, I can get in closer touch with my Inner Sociopath.
2. Through block-quotes and fisking I have the power to transform even the most harmless statements of my enemies into concrete evidence of their evil plans to enslave mankind and rule the world.
3. In all humility I do not seek to rule the world. I seek only complete agreement and total capitulation.
4. I assume full responsibility for my posts, especially the good ones that are just links to someone else's.
Go here for the rest. #4 is my friend!
So true
McCain Derangement Syndrome
Ace links to Karl, and the tumult in the comments begins.
For those on the Right who are going to Just Sit This One Out- 2006 worked really well, didn't it?
