Thanks to the Internet, SNL no longer has a monopoly on political sketch comedy. This is from an LA-based troupe called the Public Service Administration. If anyone knows a similarly good sketch attacking the Obama campaign, let me know in the comments, and in the interest of equal time, I will post. Also: Geraldine Ferraro [...]

We opened with brief (-ish) statements from the men on the call attesting to Hillary’s readiness. A highlight, from Maj. General Paul Eaton: “This lady… she’s steady in the saddle and extra bright… and that’s a combination that soldiers love.” And this, from Wolfson on “tactical voting”: HRC’s increased proportion of Republican votes is due [...]

From the WSJ editorial page, make of that what you will, but they assert that Admiral Fallon did not resign because he was against invading Iran, but he was against continuing to invade Iraq. Or something like that: A fateful debate is now taking place at the Pentagon that will determine the pace of U.S. [...]

David Mamet writes about becoming a conservative, with surprisingly little attention paid to how his place in the world — as opposed to his thinking — may have changed over the years. He actually makes the argument that his thinking hasn’t changed at all, he’s just stopped fooling himself that his views were compatible with [...]

Or maybe this is more accurately tagged an update of my post from yesterday. For all the conspiracy theories that are swirling out there, this from Newsday via TPM suggests that the feds and bankers may have had a real reason to wonder what Spitzer was up to.: Spitzer last year had wanted to wire [...]

Over the course of my public life, I have insisted, I believe correctly, that people, regardless of their position or power, take responsibility for their conduct. I can and will ask no less of myself. For this reason, I am resigning from the office of governor. Full statement here.

I wasn’t able to get a question in today, my apologies. But I noted some good ones in the last thread — thanks and of course there will, for good or ill, be other opportunities. Direct audio link here. Quote of the call: “Just because [we've surpassed them in the popular vote] doesn’t mean they [...]
