WHAT UP Meg McCabe? It’s gonna be like this, is it? “After my recent appearance on Jay Leno, one Web site posted a comment from the editor saying, mockingly, they have a ‘NEW ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for comments of a certain strain about young Meg’s physical appearance. She is an impressionable young brilliant Republican strategist!’ You can imagine the kind of charming comments that followed.” Meghan McCain what are you doing? NEW 99% TOLERANCE POLICY for comments of a certain strain. [Daily Beast]

• ROBERT McNAMARA IS DEAD: Jesus, anybody else feel like dying in the next week or two? Because now is clearly the time to do it! Robert McNamara prosecuted America’s hopeless adventure in Vietnam on behalf of Presidents Kennedy and Johnson; he also did many other things, which nobody remembers on account of the war. [Washington Post]

Let’s hope our President finds the wars soon, and that the wars are safe. [NYT]

As Mark Penn told us all during the Democratic primaries, it is an established socio-political fact that black people do not like brown people and vice-versa, because of Microtrends, and this is why Barack Obama cannot win 70% of the Hispanic vote. This scientific insight about wacky minorities is the only possible explanation for why old black Congressman John Conyers has written a letter to his fellow legislators attacking our future surgeon general, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the very attractive medicine guy of daytime cable news fame. It is ruthless and laden with factual and typographical errors, to add further insult to Dr. Gupta’s Guatemalan heritage. MORE »

The McCain people are pretty hopped up on steroids today and are issuing some tuff talk after this morning’s delightful housing kerfuffle. They’re putting the finishing touches on an ad about Obama’s “slum landlord” friend Tony Rezko, a topic they claim to have avoided before today, when Obama supposedly “opened the door” to this sort of nasty attack. To most people this logic would be a non sequitur — but most people do not understand logic quite like the McCain Rapid Response Team! MORE »

How the hell does John McCain get away with saying this today: “I had the courage and judgment to say that I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war. It seems to me that Sen. Obama would rather lose the war in order to win a political campaign.” How does that even make sense? Let’s imagine hypothetically that we are fighting some war in which “winning” and “losing” are the actual, real-world options. Barack Obama actively wants to “lose” this war! This Obama greaseball goes around saying he wants to be president, yet he knows so little about Foreign Policy that he believes the president should declare wars, and then work to lose them.

Once upon a time there was a war in a faraway magical place called Vietnam. This was before the Internet! (Well, the public internet at least. DoD geeks started building their internet in 1969. Manhunt was probably a lot hotter then!) And all the hippies made angry silkscreen posters against the war, and some of them were kind of awesome. You see, before the Internet, people had to print and distribute things as a means of communication. And there was a thing called “graphic design.” Smoke a bowl with Choire, after the jump.

By 53-45, the Senate has voted down the $50 billion bill to fund the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The bill, which passed in the House on Tuesday, in turn required troops to pull out of war zones soon-like. So Bush will find some other way to get his money, and the Democrats’ legislative record will still be dick, maybe even negative dick. [NPR]

These Paultards will never learn that we are warring with them and they should not send e-mails! After the jump, a classic Paultard comment we received today. (Redstate is posting it too. As well as some other shit about like, Barry Goldwater, we assume). MORE »

Redstate has accepted our alliance in the War Against Paultards. They wish to be Churchill instead of “that socialist FDR.” This is good! It means they can take the bombing for the first little while, and eventually we’ll step in.

The Redstate commenters are posting videos of like, Ronald Reagan. It’s funny. What do we do now?

Dear whoever runs things at Redstate.com:

We don’t care for your website. Just not our thing, ya know? But if Congress has taught us anything, it’s that Congress can’t teach us anything about working together. We may not like your internets, and you may not like ours, but we must work together to destroy a mutual enemy — illegal alien spambots, a.k.a. Paultards. MORE »
