apropos of anything

I have been looking forward to this election since November 3, 2004. I have been counting the days until the entire world can rejoice at the end of the Bush administration. But the reason I want this election cycle to be over already has nothing to do with my desire to put a fork in [...]

Because seriously, I am in awe that everyone isn’t as floored by this as I am:

The James Fallows analysis is here.

and
Things Younger than Republican Presidential candidate (oh, and did I forget to mention war hero?) John McCain

And I do not appear to be the only one.
For the love of all that is holy, woman, quit already. Also, Pennsylvania voters who “knew” Obama would win the nomination but decided to vote for Hillary anyway… why? Why? To prolong the process? To provide another eight weeks of back and forth bickering? To [...]

Yeah, yeah, 3BT is coming eventually. In the meantime:
The NY Times calls out Clinton’s aggressively negative campaign as damaging “to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008 election”, Maureen Dowd bemoans Obama’s inability to close out Clinton, Jonathan Chait defends Obama against the “liberal elitist” label (although not as well as Jon Stewart, who [...]
