It's Getting Hot in Here

by The Minfidel

Nuclear Option? Feh. Just don't let this fall into the hands of the MAWB Squad (because you know sooner or later the Senator is going to be pushing the buttons).

Does anyone have the coordinates to 425 Portland Ave, Minneapolis?

Money Well Spent

by The Minfidel

Portia Rediscovered has a great photo from a Syrian street protest. Someone has been having fun with the image (ya think?), but it's a funny shot to go along with the following caption:

Bus fare to anti-war protest rally: $0.50
Paint and canvas protest signs: $32.00
Asking a retired US Army sergeant to translate your protest signs: PRICELESS.

Check it out!

Minfidel: Is Someone Standing on Howard Dean's Breathing Tube?

by The Minfidel

Is the Democratic Party in a persistent vegetative state? (And are "blue" states blue due to a lack of oxygen?) One might wonder about that if the presence of intelligent thought - as opposed to pure mulishness - is one of the requirements for meaningful life.

I've been meaning to comment on the the inconsistency of the media's reaction to Howard Dean's promise to use Terri Schiavo's case as a political football, but Tim Blair has already framed it perfectly:

CASE ONE: The fight over removing Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube "is a great political issue ... and a tough issue for Democrats ... This is an important moral issue and the pro-life base will be excited that the Senate is debating this important issue." —Republican legal counsel Brian Darling in a memo first reported on March 18.

Result: Much left-wing rage, many on the right embarrassed, Darling resigns.

CASE TWO: "We’re going to use Terri Schiavo later on. This is going to be an issue in 2006, and it’s going to be an issue in 2008." —Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, April 15.

Result: Pending.

Result: (sound of crickets chirping) is more like it. I don't think the Dems could survive without the "life support" provided by the Mainstream Media.
