Politico Gets All Nostalgic About the Deadly Aluminum Tubing Saddam Hussein Ordered From SkyMall

  • Would you people please subscribe to Atlantic Monthly so the editors don’t regret putting that year-old Andrew Sullivan email to George W. Bush on the cover? [Daily Dish]
  • Just like the DC Madame, Christoper Kelly weighed his options. Should he cooperate with the authorities and maybe serve a little jail time? Or should he park his car in a lumber yard, and kill himself? Life is fun and stuff but honestly, knowing possibly incriminating things about Rod Blagojevich was just a burden too heavy to bare. [Huffington Post]
  • Support the Fightin’ Four! (Don’t.) [RedState]
  • Politico, keeping with its blatant “Flat Earth Society” bias, continues to proudly peddle multifarious Cheneyisms, including the classic, “Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein were members of the same World of Warcraft guild”. [Matt Yglesias]
  • If Noah hadn’t made his fancy Ark and saved humanity, Darwin and his silly theory would have never come to pass. Oh the cruel irony! [The Daily Dish]

    Is Sully compensating our Wonkett for these plugs?

  2. V572625694:

    No, Riley just fancies him a bit.

    Hell…14.95 for a year of the Atlantic IS a great deal. I just ordered…so I hope wonkette gets some kind of cut.

    “…a burden too heavy to bare.” I want to see a pun in this, but I can’t help thinking, “Edit Fail.”

    “too heavy to bare.” ? Ugh, yes, please heavies. Keep yourself covered up.

    Can Notre Dame sue RedState for copyright infringement? If not, could we petition the Hitler Jugend alumnus in Rome to mark all their afterlife visas with ‘Down’?

    Hey, Politico is just showing how far it’ll go to live up to its commitment to balanced reporting — they’ll criticize both sides even if they have to resort to hoary debunked crap in order to do it. So for every Republican who approves of torture, there has to be at least one Democrat who advocated surrendering to al-Qaida and giving therapy to Osama bin Laden.

  8. Barrett808: Mistaken homonym or misguided pun? We’ll never know.

    “…a burden too heavy to bare.” He did not want to bear his soul in open court.

    conservethis: Good mag and all, but who has the time to read that shit? I blame the internets, for my short attention span and all.

    It was well documented in a long magazine article in the Atlantic or somesuch. Probably the last one I ever read on paper. http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200807/google

    Lascauxcaveman: The Atlantic is or was a great magazine with a rich history, and back when I used to read stuff longer than blog posts, I used to read it every month. Now I’m all tl/dr…like, whatever, you know?

    Or should he park his car in a lumber yard, and kill himself? — If only he had called Meghan. She could have sucked out the poison.

    We recently received our first copy of The Atlantic, New Yorker and Vanity Fair, of the five or six we recently ordered after a good talking-to from Pope Cat about the benefits of modern magazine subscribing. A short search reveals that magazines are a hella good deal these days.

    Hey, you missed the obligatory link to Ezra Klein. And the third and fourth links to the daily commentless navel-gazing Dish.

  15. Lascauxcaveman: If you happen to be reading a print magazine, do you automatically start writing comments at the bottom?

  16. There are also Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Coincidence? I think not.

    re: the Fightin’ Four, I’d like to see that Michael Williams guy in the Senate.
    1. It’s Texas anyway, so it’s not like they were going to get anybody good.
    2. He’s black. Black neo-cons are always funny, except for Condi Rice, who was just plain disturbing.
    3. He has a bow tie. Men who wear bow ties are usually funny, like Tucker Carlson.

  18. Nobody will distribute Creation in the US? I feel that emigration itch coming on…

  19. The good thing about scientists is they won’t breathlessly tell you how awesome and moving a movie about Darwin is, like the all those Xristians who wanted you to see that crappy movie about their savior, Mel Gibson.

    shadowMark: Looks like he called his girlfriend according to the Sun Times…wonder how his wife feels about that. Life’s a bitch and your husband was living with her.

  21. lochnessmonster says at 5:43 pm, September 14th, 2009

    lochnessmonster: sorry…that was mean…

  22. lochnessmonster says at 5:44 pm, September 14th, 2009

    Sorry! My last comment was mean…

  23. lochnessmonster: No need to worry . . . it’s not as if anyone would admit to seeing you, eh? Other people would think they were crazy.
