It appears it is over for Hillary. Who will Obama pick as his running mate? I kinda would like it to be Gore.

Bad news everyone: Our favorite Iraq Veterans Against the War activist and honorary hetero member of the D.C. Bear Mafia—Sgt. Adam Kokesh—is Paultarded, and not just garden-variety, Crazy Eyes Paultarded either. I read his blog and sadly, he’s sofa king hopelessly Paultarded.

So if you want to beat the ground with your fists and curse Gawd for creating such a cruel, cruel world, well now’s the time.

I suggest a moment of quiet contemplation for this tragic loss of sanity.

(shrug)

I’d still flipf@!k him, of course.

What? Too soon?

This is the first sensible thing to come out of that damn fool Sally Simpson's mouth.

In other news, it looks like William F. Buckley won't be seeing a black man as President of the United States....

I spy an applies.

Yes, but wait till Buckley realizes that his lord is a balck man.

Thanks, Poe.

You're welcome, baby cakes.

SEXIST!!!!

Seeing the timing of the Starbucks re-education campaign, I now have a better idea of why Caffe Vita was offering free coffee and coffee drinks from 5:30-8:30pm last night...

Caffé Vita kicks ass. I wuvz me some Caffé Vita. Victrola ruined Arthur & Yu's CD for me, so I won't go there anymore. There isn't any reason to go to Pike's Victrola, because there's only one chair in there (pretty much). Bauhaus is always great, but my mochas are always lukewarm instead of scalding. This, this is kind of a problem.

I really don't understand why we're even linking/talking about Starbucks. Everybody knows it's social suicide to walk into one. It's fucking Starbucks.

Some of those advice books from the 40s and 50s still influnce some people. I read one book printed in 1949 that advises men to show up five minutes late for business meetings. According to this garbage, making people wait will show them who is in control and puts potential advisaries off balance. I have seen people who actually do this and they always look pathetic and rarely are in conrol.

I hate assholes who are late to meetings. HATE!

As part of the Starbucks retraining, will baristas now offer a glass of punch?

I wish someone would hand me a highball.

nothing on the pit bull attack last night

Me too, Abby. Though it's rarely my custom to drink before 9:30....

@ Napoleon XIV,

Awesome quotes from Buckley's obit:

The National Review defended the Vietnam War, opposed civil rights legislation and once declared that "the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail."

"Mr. Buckley," one non-fan wrote in 1967, "you are the mouthpiece of that evil rabble that depends on fraud, perjury, dirty tricks, anything at all that suits their purposes. I would trust a snake before I would trust you or anybody you support."

Some things never change, and Hell just got a little more crowded.

You didn't quote his funny rejoinder to that last quote: "What would you do if I supported the snake?"

Buckley was a measuring post to guage the rightward drift of the country; when he first appeared on the scene, he was too conservative to touch; "conservative" was a dirty word even among Republicans. By the time he died, he was regularly assailed by (and discouraged and shamed by) the new neocon rabble who succeeded him. I read a thing in the New Republic a while back about a right wing cruise he was on, where he just sat and received a constant hail of bitter, obscene abuse from the people who should revere him, if they had brains; but you see, he was an Iraq War skeptic....

Buckley was wrong on most everything, but he was smart and clever, and a good debate opponent. Conservatives today are like mud people next to him.

There's some soccer on today. That means I can drink early. In fact, there's even a DFB-Pokal game on right now. And if the DFB-Pokal doesn't make you drink, nothing will.

I'll buy you a drink if you're in Fremont or the U Dist, Abby.

Especially since Hils forgot to listen to Tina Fey's advice at last night's debate and lost it (based on MSNBC and WaPo polls).

The Heathrow protesters have a point. They're proposing to DOUBLE the flights in and out of what is already the world's busiest airport. No place on earth is seeing a more rapid increase in air traffic than Europe, with the massive expansion of the budget airlines flying all sorts of places that used to be reached mostly by train, or simply not visited at all. That's not really in keeping with their Kyoto-friendly image, is it?
