An old southern expression: all them smiles and dimples don’t count for nothin’…..

You go David

Matthews blew a fuse ya hoo

Chris Matthews ” my view, well my view is o.k. let me tell you my view of this Frank buddy I’ll tell you my view of this. We crossed that line in that West Point speech by President Bush George W. Bush up there in 2002 when he said we are going to go into other countries and kick ass because they do not have democracies in those countries that’s when he said we’re going to go kill
people internationally because we do not like their form of government that’s when we crossed the line Frank”

They really went at it

when the clip of the Chris Matthews, Frank Gaffney, David Corn wrestling match on Spain’s right to go after the Bush 6 comes up you are going to want to hear this one. This one will be all over the blogs tomorrow

rip roaring

By way of Andrew Sullivan:

Cheer Yourself Up

A 47 year old homely matron shows up on Britain’s Got Talent … Seriously, I’m still choked up.

And as one of Andrew’s readers writes:

I watched Susan Boyle over and over today. I’m so moved by it… her voice is simply beautiful, of course, but she owned that stage. She knew she belonged there – where the hell did that assurance come from?

I looked up her story: she was bullied terribly as a child, had or has a disability, has never been married, never been kissed, probably never been somebody’s most important person. After all that, and having just come out of serious depression on her mother’s death, what on earth gives her the confidence to get up there on the stage? Where did she find that courage?

Simply marvelous!

the obama campaign was chosen as the best marketing campaign of the year and i think it may very well have been. we were sold a product. for all we know, the real thing has as little to do with the marketing hype as any other advertising campaign.

so sad. i didn’t support obama after his actions re fisa, but this worse, much worse than i expected. so very sad.
