"So you will now say – I hear the voice of an ACLU member – Dennis, do you think that this guy should have shot these people spray painting grafiti on his shop. To which my answer is yes. I do. No to kill. Not to kill. But if he shot them in the legs or in the arms I would have considered the man one of the great advancers of civilization in my time. And that is what divides left from right. Because anybody on the left hearing this would think that this is barbaric whereas I consider not stopping these people in any way that is necessary to be barbaric," – Dennis Prager, on his radio show (hour 3, around 8:41 in).

An intrepid photo-blogger, Steven Hirsch, camps out in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court and photographs the people leaving. He asks them for their stories. The photos are brilliant; the confessions occasionally very sad. The dude above says he was arrested for peeing in public.

She must have loved that McCain line. Again: imagine if Obama had said something like that abut Michelle.

The white man says the black man is acting white.

I posted the Hitler-Jeffersons number. That kind of thing has an ancient pedigree and the Brits got there first (not to speak of Chaplin, of course).

How can a devout Catholic who believes church doctrine should be the last word on public policy be enthusiastic for a vice-president who personally authorized the torture of countless human beings? Sometimes these theocons just baffle me. Do any of them have the integrity of Mark Shea?

A new academic study argues she got Obama a million extra votes in the primaries.

Mickey makes his case for an unsqueamish press. I think the reason the MSM is leery of this story is because someone else has actually claimed to be the father of the child in question and because Elizabeth Edwards is extremely sick, and this story would be an horribly traumatizing question for a cancer patient to deal with.  And there’s enough to this story already to bar any near-future public office for Edwards.

So, yes, occasionally the press is humane. Sometimes, that’s a good thing.

Yes, this is for chocolate and it was immensely successful. Marbury thinks it contains Obama’s secret:

You know you want you some.
