Its been way too long since I’ve done one of these, apologies. I can’t offer an excuse as I don’t have one and can’t be bothered to make one up so, lets just let bygones be bygones and move one. Shall we?

I’d like to think that in a reasonable and just society this story would be the final nail in Mitt Romney’s coffin: Romney, on a family vacation, strapped his dog carrier to the roof of his car. With the dog inside. FOR TWELVE HOURS!
The incident: dog excrement found on the roof and windows of the Romney station wagon. How it got there: Romney strapped a dog carrier — with the family dog Seamus, an Irish Setter, in it — to the roof of the family station wagon for a twelve hour drive from Boston to Ontario, which the family apparently completed, despite Seamus’s rather visceral protest.
Are you kidding me here? Strapping your dog to your roof for 12 hours? What kind of person does that? And its even worse then that really, from the Boston Herald, as excerpted by Ana Marie Cox:
As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ”Dad!” he yelled. ”Gross!” A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who’d been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management.
Um, stick a fork in Romney, he’s done. Or at least he should be. What kind of person does that to their pet?
Has there ever been an international player you did like, Bill? You’re the Lou Dobbs of NBA sportswriters. I’m waiting for your new book “War on American Hoops.”
Too bad they can’t build a wall around every NBA arena.
Yesterday I mentioned my love of Elizabeth Edwards. Well now its increased all the more. Chris Matthews had that scum of the earth Ann Coulter on his show yesterday (brilliant choice Chris) and guess who called in? Why Elizabeth Edwards, thats who. The video is provided here (violating my previous policy of including YouTube videos after the jump cause I think this is so good). I think its safe to say that Ms. Edwards comes off quite well and Ann, if possible, comes off like something you’d scrape off the bottom of your shoe after walking in the sewer.
UPDATE: I should also mention that, predictably, one of the first emails I got this morning was from Ms. Edwards soliciting contributions while citing her appearance. Very canny.
You really should be reading the Washington Post’s series on Vice President Cheney, if you haven’t been already. From what I’ve read there’s nothing shockingly new revealed but seeing it all laid out there
in one package is nice. In summery, the Vice President is quite powerful and quite awful which is not really a good thing at all. Sigh.
Telephone logs recorded by the National Security Agency and obtained by Congress as part of an ongoing investigation suggest that the vice president may have used the Oval Office intercom system to address President Bush at crucial moments, giving categorical directives in a voice the president believed to be that of God.
While journalists and presidential historians had long noted Bush’s deep faith and Cheney’s powerful influence in the White House, few had drawn a direct correlation between the two until Tuesday, when transcripts of meetings that took place in March and April of 2002 became available.
In a transcript of an intercom exchange recorded in March 2002, a voice positively identified as the vice president’s identifies himself as “the Lord thy God” and promotes the invasion of Iraq, as well as the use of torture in prisoner interrogations.
Laugh to keep from crying people. Laugh to keep from crying.
