Mike's Blog Round Up
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Blogging Banquet Hall. Your waiter today is once again Steven at The Opinion Mill, and he's ready with a list of today's specials:
The thick redneck line: Rick Perlstein traces the racist strain from today's conservatives to their allegedly enlightened forebears.
Wanna read about the Iraq movie that's gonna have the wingers and warwhores in full-froth mode later this month? Get your preview right here .
Who would you support: snakes or real estate developers? You need time to think about it? Joey Novick understands .
What becomes a legend most? When you're talking about the Divine Mr. R. it's the GOP presidential nomination, of course. Saucy thing!
Watch what you say, or AT&T will take away your Internets.
Family values versus valuing families: which president stacks up the best? Like we need to ask?
James Fallows says what needed to be said: Frog really don't sit still while the water around them gets heated to boiling. Several decades of political arguments and analogies have now been rendered inoperable. If you have any (scientifically accurate) replacement metaphors, send them to Mr. Fallows here.
BOOK NOOK: Trey Ellis offers whiny-ass memoir author Clarence Thomas some job advice. As a public service, the author of 211 Things a Bright Boy Can Do demonstrates the proper technique for removing one's underwear without taking off one's pants -- Justice Thomas will no doubt want to try this when things get slow during those Supreme Court sessions. And American master Louis Auchincloss shows why he's considered the literary heir of Henry James and Edith Wharton: "I just think the Bushes are a big family of shits."
Will these dreadful CSPAN 3 hearings be admissable at the Hague?
Anyone catch Darrel Isa's question about the Ron Brown plane crash at the Blackwater Hearing. Just happened what a douche.
I think the USA down the toilet flush has completed.

What rock do these cretins crawl out from under?... People voted for that?

(With apologies to salamanders, slugs and assorted slimy vermin everywhere ...)
Facinating hearing though
Crunching the numbers on Iraq vs Vietnam, Iraq comes out FAR worse.
Amy Goodman just announced she Bells Palsy ('temporary')
7:
What the heck does that mean, "she Bells Palsy"?
BTW Rep. Mica just compared blackwater's negligence in a plane crash to Steve Fosset!

Sorry:
Announced she has temporary Bell's Palsy (i.e. not a stroke) I shouldn't try to type in minimized boxes.
No Brittany thread today?
It is clear now through his statements that Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from all cases that have left wing or liberal interests. He is unable to be fair and unbiased. His former decisions regarding liberals should be reconsidered. This man is not about rule of law or precedent. He is bitter and tainted.
Whoever told him to do that interview on 60 minutes as a good PR stunt for his self-loathing portrait (i. e. his book) should be fired from the job and banned in the Public Relations industry.
Why would a guy wearing a robe need to worry about taking off his pants? Being a Supreme Court Justice means never having to worry about how to get out of your underwear.
It isn't an exact replacement for the frog theory, but haven't you ever gone out to the beach in the morning when the Sun wasn't real harsh yet so you didn't bother with the old SPF 20 right away, and not notice that things had changed until you looked like a boiled lobster?
This is a terrific clip from The Daily Show about the Republicans who skipped the PBS debate on race relations.

"Who would you support: snakes or real estate developers? You need time to think about it? Joey Novick understands."
I did need time to think about it, as I read, 'you need time to think about it?' and laughed. Without dishing out any spoilers, I felt oddly good and happy to know the "good guys" won. A bright note, or start, in my day (which has just begun).
earl @ 5:
All creatures are lovely and beautiful, even if you may not want to "cuddle up" with them. They have a purpose. The exception here in MAN, and especially cretinous ones (see GOP and BushCo.).
L.A. Confidential @ 3:
Does Larry Craig know about this?
Hi there.
