Killing my buzz

Senator Obama winning the election November 4th would/will be awesome. A great moment. But what happens after? Paul Krugman and Kevin Drum do a good job killing my buzz. Krugman first:
The crisis isn’t the only scary thing going on. Something very ugly is taking shape on the political scene: as McCain’s chances fade, the crowds [...]

The other side

Warning, watching this video of McCain/Palin supporters outside an event in Ohio will cause you to question your faith in humanity.

There is something seriously wrong with these people.

Keen insight from Michelle Malkin

Michelle Malkin, you are a delight. You’ll recall that earlier, Paul Mirengoff of Powerline took Convention analysis to new heights with his genius evaluation of Senators Obama and McCain post-speech behavior.

Auto-correct can be a very helpful feature of any word-processing program. But when conservatives use it, they [...]

Ah conservative writers. Shelby Steele wrote a book called A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can’t Win. Now he says the subtitle of the book is wrong and Obama definitely can win.

Reading the other side

The five conservative bloggers Ezra Klein makes an effort to read:
- Megan McArdle
- Ramesh Ponnuru
- Ross Douthat
- The American Scene
- Dave Weigel
In the spirit of trying to understand/learn what the other side’s thinking I guess I’ll go ahead and subscribe. The problem with this list of course is that, for the most part, Ezra [...]

This will make you throw up in your mouth a little: Ann Coulter was Bob Novak’s date to the Gridiron Dinner.
