Sarah Palin said she had a “higher calling” that required her to resign 17 months before her term ended as governor of Alaska, and not to seek a second term.
I have no idea where this “higher calling” came from, but I suspect it could only have come from two sources. The first one is God. [...]

First the conservative, at times, and bitter Christopher Hitchens: [PS: These last for about 5 minutes each as they set up and then do the actual torture. It is hard to watch. Very hard.]
Second, Mancow: The setup is much less professional than the one that tortured Hitchens. It was enough.
Now that’s horrible isn’t it? And [...]

From a close friends European source:

We, the United States of America, your top quality supplier of ideals of democracy, would like to apologize for our 2001-2008 interruption in service.

(From WaPo, performing a valuable service.)
McCain: “Gov. Sarah Palin “knows more about energy than probably anyone in the United States of America.”
Palin: “My job has been to oversee nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of oil and gas.”

I supported Hillary Clinton vigorously and went though a period of real mourning after the primary ended with her concession. I said, as a lifelong Democrat, that I would certainly support our nominee. I know that having [...]

It certainly appears to be reality. Katrina has knocked 9/11 and the War on Terror out of the arena, and left our President stripped bare. He is now the “Responsibility President”, an image worked up overnight to save the floundering (should I say drowning?) Republican Party.
