• I smell Biden in this 30K figure

  I haven't really laid into Obama for the whole "dithering" thing even though I've sometimes wanted to. Taking his time to make the right decision is better than quickly making the wrong decision, even though there is a palpable time decay factor that is literally killing our guys. Unfortunately, my [...]

• Black Friday #FAIL

  I got this Dell promotion in my Hotmail. Notice the "sent" date. I clicked on the link in the email just over an hour after it was sent, only to see an expired promotion page.

• Reich drools over thoughts of authoritarian power

  On ABC's This Week, former Labor Secretary Robert Reich could barely contain himself over the prospect of having Chinese-style control over the economy.
  
  
  
  Reich:
  "But I want to go back to, George [Will], your point, because I think the big issue over the next 10 years" [...]

• Half of GOP think ACORN stole the election?

  Politicalwire reports:
  A new Public Policy Polling survey finds that 52% of Republican voters nationally think that ACORN stole the Presidential election for Barack Obama last year, with only 27% granting that he won it legitimately.
  
  Is that just delusional? Probably. But it now makes sense that [...]

• Quote of the Day: skkkkkkrk

  @jimmiebjr on twitter:
  
  Holder says Miranda won't be issue for KSM. To emphasize the point, he drew his thumb across his throat and made "skkkkkkrk" sound.

• Quick Palin-Oprah Reaction

  Some disjointed thoughts:
  
  Palin as talk show host? Could be a good move. Her speech pattern is still quite choppy, which she could possibly improve upon through daily practice on a radio or TV show. It wouldn't be nearly as smooth a transition as Huckabee had, but it would' [...]

• Intertubes Round-up: Facepalm edition

  Ode to the Facepalm... Just imagine me facepalming after each bit.
  
  
  
  (1) They're trying KSM in a civilian court. In New York. What could go wrong?
  
  (2) So the US Commerce Secretary says, "Trade agreements are going to have'" [...]

• "V" Reviewer Clueless

  Jeff Jensen at Entertainment Weekly (after the second episode):
  The Visitors–embodied by Morena Baccarin’s inscrutable Anna–continue to be a metaphor and mystery worthy of parsing and theorizing. My take: Anna is sincere about wanting to bring peace, love and universal health care to the world–but her advisors are conspiring [...]

• Return of the Flip-Flop

  Well, it’s about 20 or 30 seconds too long and might give you a seizure, but the RNC is looking to bring back the classic “flip flop” ad (at least on the intertubes):
  
  
  
  I wonder if it's really helpful to bring back the Kerry clip. Leaning "no"' [...]

• Obligatory 10.2% Post

  Along with obligatory promise-vs-reality graph from the Innocent Bystanders blog:
  
  
  
  Is the stimulus/economy is becoming to Obama what Iraq was to Bush, at least as far as conventional wisdom goes? Things are getting better, everything's to plan, and we expected this...

• "V" Premiere

  I’ve been spoiled by Battlestar Galactica. It seems the re-imagining of an old media property is not always head and shoulders better than the original. Tuesday night’s premiere of the new V certainly has a more contemporary aesthetic, and may prove to be a worthwhile show, but lost something [...]

• Media complies with liberal NY23 narrative

  "Moderates need not apply" - That's the gist of the major media message about the mess in the New York special congressional election, straight from the White House. This idea is -- to use a technical term -- a giant load.
  
  Dede Scozzafava was waaaay off the reservation. She's [...]
