McCain “elderly,” say expertsWASHINGTON—Amidst the hype of an historic democratic race, another historic candidacy has been largely ignored. If elected, Senator John McCain will be the oldest to ever serve as POTUS. “This is a true milestone for the American people,” said one McCain spokesperson. “Finally, we can be proud that we've completely healed the wounds of our shamefully ageist past.”“

You sent me a very kind e-mail in support of my troop hating ways. I intended to write back and thank you, but I accidentally erased it. So, thanks for the e-mail. That is all.-Ian Murphy

Predictably enough, Ian's article, "Fuck the Troops," has elicited some outrage among right-wing bloggers. In fact, a lot of outrage. There has been much posting of our address, pictures, website info, and even overhead pictures of our location. Explicit incitements to violence and death threats are too numerous to list here. Classy bunch, these conservatives. Apparently, the randomly selected

Hillary's making shit up again to pull at the heart-strings of her dedicated female constituency. In this video she claims to have "walked into my dorm room and took my book bag and hurled it across the room. It felt like everything had been shattered, like we would never be able to put the pieces together again." But wait a minute. This was the sixties. I've seen Animal House, they didn't

Army Specialist Christopher Simpson, 23, was killed Monday when his convoy hit a roadside bomb in Baghdad. His father Scott Simpson, a first sergeant with the Air National Guard, told The Post-Standard of Syracuse this about his deceased son, "He's a kid a parent dreams about. I knew the military was going to be a good thing for him. I have no regrets."

I got this via Scholars and Rogues. Apparently if Saint Obama isn't anointed by his chosen party then his followers are going "to be throwing stones." Can't image what evil would come if they were deprived of their "transportation -- cell phones -- disposable income -- the Internet -- free time."There is also the hope, er...I mean threat, that Iraq War vets are "ready to rock 'n' roll.

Question: When will people stop being morons?Answer: Never. Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett claims his recovery from a life-threatening spinal-cord injury is “God’s doing.” The efforts of the crack physicians at Ralph Wilson Stadium or Houston's Memorial Hermann hospital had nothing to do with it, apparently, nor did the scientific advancements made in treating traumatic

New Drudge picture: Clinton on the photos: “Shame on you, Barack Obama! Meet me in Agrabah!” Obama’s rebuttal: “Yes, I have a flying carpet. Michelle and I use it frequently. It’s awesome.” John McCain’s fiery condemnation: “That is pretty awesome. But can you bang a lobbyist on it? These critical national security questions remain unanswered. My arms hurt.”

This is a scandal? You have to be fucking kidding me.MSNBC'S DAVID SHUSTER: But doesn't it seem like Chelsea's sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?The answer is, yes it does. Why? Because the Clintons have been oh so very protective of their Chelsea for so long and she has been doing the same for herself by trying to maintain a low key persona and then she's on MTV and the like

Check out the excellent post on Stop Me Before I Vote Again (revised link takes you directly to the post I refer to) referencing an LA Times article about a common sense approach to the sub-prime mortgage/real estate bubble ramifications.

Well, it probably wouldn't.Check out the Washington Post's front-page preview on Bush's state of the union address tonight:For years, President Bush and his advisers expressed frustration that the White House received little credit for the nation's strong economic performance because of public discontent about the

Matt was on "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday night, earning him some extra heat from Writer's Guild strikers & supporters who were already miffed he appeared on Colbert the other night. I guess I can see why WGA strikers would be pissed, but I'm not about to strike Stewart/Colbert or Taibbi off my forces for good list.And, actually, I'm not sure I get it at all.

Somebody made one of those "enhanced reading" youtube videos--you know, like you can only read a short bit of text if it's set to bad music and interspersed with pictures, and delivered at about one sentence per 15 seconds--using part of our Most Loathsome entry for Dinesh D'Souza.I never understand why people make these things, but, uh, cool I guess.

The way I see it, this woman is our most likely route to another terribly damaging Republican administration.It's frustrating, because it seems pretty clear that if Edwards were to drop out, Obama would have crushed her.On the other hand, someone made a decent argument for supporting Edwards to me the other day. It goes like this: Even if you doubt Edwards' sincerity (which I do), you should

Now that Obama is strengthening as a front-runner, the question becomes: What kind of evil bullshit is lurking on the right for him? To answer this question, I ventured into the slimy depths of freerepublic.com, and found this:So if obama is christian, where does he get his unusual name?-----I think there may be some credibility to the e-mails. His past is certainly not normal; nor is his name.--
