Some random thoughts for the weekend. Sorry to make it mostly political but that's the kind of week it has been.
It's not secret that MSNBC is basically the cable news home of the Angry Left. But apparently the management is beginning to get the clue as they remove their leading shouters,
Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann as anchors from their election coverage. Instead, they'll be analysts which I guess is where they should have been all along. Then again, it appears the network is doubling down on being the official news network of the Left by
adding Air America talker Rachel Maddow to the lineup. Maybe the network couldn't find any conservative voices to join the sinking ship.
Sometimes the foreign press has keen insights into American politics.
Case in point.
More great analysis from across the pond:
Underestimate Governor Sarah Palin at your own peril.Still more:
Governor Palin is not so small town after all.
Somehow I don't think it would be wise for
Senator Obama to bring up earmarks.Comparing Senator Obama to
former Enron CEO Ken Lay. An very interesting comparison.
Then again, maybe Senator Obama's
biggest problem is his pride. (Via

I have one question for Joe Biden:
What were you thinking?Congress is back in session but apparently in no hurry to deal with
our pressing energy issues or anything else important. Just a side note, that post's author, Mrs. Michelle Bachman, is a mother of five who also happens to be a Representative from Minnesota.
Something lighter:
dressing domestic rodents in Bavarian attire. Oh the scandal!
This gets me thinking about the congressional races and what the effects will be downstream if Senator McCain and Governor Palin manage to pull out a big win. Could it be possible that the Democrats will actually lose seats instead of making the big gains that were originally predicted?
Why I am not surprised? The man who developed
Astroturfing is
Senator Obama's campaign manager. Anyone starting to see a pattern?
Unreal. Absolutely unreal.
News in one of the oldest espionage cases in American history. And an interesting take from Glenn Reynolds.
One of the reasons we homeschool our kids is so that we don't have to deal with garbage like this.
Oops. The headline on the original post makes it even funnier.
There's a reason that actors should stick to acting.
Abortion and Down Syndrome. An interesting observation on eugenics.
The end of the Associated Press? Could be.
Have a great weekend.
