I watched right up until Ms. McCain pulled out the magical balance fairy. "Oh, it's hard to be a moderate Democrat these days."
I suspect Ms. McCain is shortly going to decide that she's going to have to stay with the GOP and that to do so she'll start spewing the talking points. Sad.
Maybe I'm a pinko or something, but Obama and Biden seem like moderate Democrats to me, and I say that as a formerly Republican-leaning (now Democratic-leaning) Independent.
I think Meghan McCain should decide which is more important to her -- principles or party affiliation -- and act accordingly.
Loyalty is a guiding star for her family, and its literally in her blood. And honestly, once you've been on one side of the line for long enough, you really can't gain anything by switching. Jump ship and neither side will trust you.

I don't mean to be callous but Ms. McCain will announce her parting with the right not long after her father passes. Something it about it not being her father's party anymore, blah, blah, blah.
People switch parties. The only people who would perceive as her as disloyal for switching would be people who don't like her anyhow. And I disagree with her that it's hard to be a moderate Democrat these days. The president and vice president are moderates within their party and exempting Pelosi the same is true about the congressional leadership.

Zounds! Kenny Bunk has found the method to Obama's madness!
BTW, for what it's worth, I am becoming convinced that the key to "understanding" the Obama Phenomenon is Deconstruction Philosophy, Dadaism

I grew up about 30 miles North of Chris Herren. Being the same age, I followed his career from Highschool through College at Fresno State then to the hometown Boston Celtics via the Denver Nuggets. So his fall from grace (after what appeared to be a remarkable recovery) was disappointing. This article... Herren tells Bromfield teens and parents tough truths ...sums up what Herren ...
It must be a slow news day for the right wing media, especially after President Obama shut down a couple of conspiracy theories, or at least somewhat. So, Drudge Report, Twitchy and the Weekly Standard have stumbled on to Obama's next dastardly deed. President Obama (wait for it) uses an umbrella when it rains. That rat bastard! Obama acts like he's the President ...
It's all about the paper. For many years I have been among that class of citizens anxiously desiring health insurance coverage for all Americans. I'd thought my reasons were sound: the country is fabulously wealthy; if we can afford luxurious salaries for sports people, media personalities, Wall Street financiers, the least we can do is ensure a minimal standard of life for the least ...
Should you ever be accused of terrorism, here's what you should do: Snitch on your friends, demand to be placed under witness protection, then fly out of the country. According to a stunning report from the Justice Department's internal watchdog, this is remarkably easy to do -- and it's actually happened.

I saw the The “What to Do in New York City” Open Thread and decided to ask a similar question about San Francisco. My parents are taking a vacation there soon and I'd like to ask my fellow Lizards if they can recommend any good things for them to see or do there. Please keep in mind these are older folks and on the ...
More: Klingenschmitt Blames 'Demonic Spirits' for Something That Never Even Happened Court Martialed Navy Chaplain Klingenschmitt is continuing to flog the dead horse that the track team in Texas was disqualified for praising God on his newest you-tube vids.

Chalk up another victory for the Great Climate Change Hoax, and all those greedy scientists who invented it so they can get rich on grant money while they force oil company executives to sell apples on the sidewalk and sleep on steam grates. Mount Everest is melting. A warming climate is melting the glaciers of Mount Everest, shrinking the frozen cloak of Earth's ...
Yet, in the fine print, the agency also effectively empowered a handful of select banks to continue controlling the $700 trillion derivatives market. Big Banks Get Break in Rules to Limit Risks (May 15, 2013) Just five banks hold more than 90 percent of all derivatives contracts, which allow companies to either speculate in the markets or protect against risk. This tight grip ...
A scowling Donald Trump raised his voice on the witness stand Wednesday while an attorney grilled him and then rolled his eyes at the "Apprentice" star's answers, prompting a federal judge to scold both men in open court and order them to behave. The admonition came during Trump's second and final day on the stand at a civil trial where he is accused ...

Political discourse in America has reached levels of douchebaggery previously only theorized about but never observed, like conversational dark matter. We're in a whole new world of hating people based solely on their opinions on a few key issues, and since this is unexplored territory, our conversations about politics are usually only a couple notches beyond the "hold your breath until the other ...
Los Angeles leaders say the Los Angeles Police Department has undergone a dramatic transformation since federal oversight of the agency was ordered 12 years ago. The dismissal Wednesday of the so-called consent decree, which arose largely out of the Rampart corruption scandal and addressed basic problems of accountability that stretched back decades, delivered a largely symbolic, but nonetheless important milestone for the LAPD ...
Seems a good way to solicit ideas for touristing destinations and activities. Will have 4-5 days so some opportunity for visiting multiple sites. And since I do have an interest in history and military history items in that area will be welcome suggestions. (The USS Midway down in San Diego is already on the list.) If there is anything California-geology related that would be ...

I hate to have to point this out, but: I DID NOT WRITE THIS ESSAY. I'm just READING IT ALOUD. This essay came to my attention recently, and it's an excellent exercise for a skeptic or atheist to experience this feeling of loss of innocence and the painful feelings it summons.
