Re: Cheney Blasts Wolf

A transcript of yesterday’s remarkably contentious CNN interview is up here (and some video here and here). I admit, I was most amused by the verbal sniping between Blitzer and Cheney over Blitzer’s fame relative to that of certain major terrorists (if only it was Wolf they had to catch!). But, as many have pointed out (including here, here, here, and here), the entire conversation is a reminder as to why many believe Dick Cheney feasts on the blood of the living and that his evil presence, unchecked, will one day wreck havoc with the very fabric of space and time. Neither of those things are true, of course, but his response to Blitzer’s pressing the issue of his gay (gay gay gay!) daughter’s pregnancy was a deathly stare most familiar to worshipers of Cthulhu. Oh, and Iraq? How things aren’t going so well? He told Blitzer, “I simply don’t accept the premise of your question,” a statement which calls into question whether Cheney has in fact already slipped loose the boundaries of our earthly dimensions, and dwells happily in cloud cuckoo land, where Mary Cheney is straight, Iraq is a flower of democracy, and fresh hearts are harvested for him daily.

Okay, that last part probably happens here.

    The Story of Ron Paul’s Presidential Candidacy as Told by His Supporters in Our Comments Section

    Most people have hobbies: golf, model trains, restoring old cars, whatever. A year after Ron Paul announced his Republican presidential bid, I have concluded that his supporters must not do these things. They can’t possibly have the time. While others are at rest or at play, Paul’s supporters are on the Internet, googling his name and diving into the comments sections of news articles to register their opinions.

    Bashing Bain: Why Obama’s New Attacks on Romney Might Not Work

    The much-heralded and long-awaited Obama campaign media attack on Mitt Romney began Monday with a reporter conference call and the release of two videos bemoaning the pain caused after Romney’s former private equity firm, Bain Capital, took over a Missouri steel company called GST Steel. The effort is textbook negative politics, from the sympathetic white working class steel men bemoaning their lost careers to the talk about “values” and the shots of lonely industrial wastelands left by the collective failure of Romney, Bain and GST.
