That's not as bad as flying monkeys.

$19MM raised in the past 3 months, a pace that could amount to $100MM this year.

"Cash, cash, cash cash cash"! "aides" exclaimed, while prancing around in one of those giant money bubble blower things, and rubbing each other down with Hamiltons and Jacksons.

Not bad.

Hillary says "piffle"!, and while not disclosing, "aides" hint she might have $20MM in the coffers in the period July to September.

Obama "aides" counter they could tack on another one million for use in the general election, so she ain't all that.

Not to be outdone, Edwards "aides" assert he has $12MM on hand, and another $10MM in federal matching funds on the way, take that beeyotch!

No word on the monastery car washes.

Al Jazeera is reporting in a pretty straight forward manner on the number of jihadis who are getting erased in Iraq. They also report on a note we recovered from the al-Tunisi hit

"The key points in this hand-written note include; he's surrounded, communications have been cut and he's desperate for help."

I think the season came too early this year; I wasn't into it until this weekend.

Anyway, Patriots-Cincinnati. There may be a couple of touchdowns scored.

And of course the one-game wildcard playoff in baseball.

The thing is, if you have to promise a penalty payment like this at all, odds are pretty much 100% you'll wind up paying it, right?

The guy is now taking legal measures to get the money back, invoking case law that coke goes nice with tits and tits are nice.

(I believe that Justice Souter penned the only dissent to that decision.)

They'll kill as many monks as they like, because they know their "opponents" here are a bunch of ineffectual, elite faux-intellectuals whose idea of opposing mass-murder is chuckling at a delightful Calvin Trillin poem in The New Yorker.

There's only one group of men who can stop them, and the international swells despise those men for their uncouth ability to actually get shit done despite not having the proper credentials from good prep schools like Phillips and Deerfield.

PS: Those who did attend prep schools like Phillips and Deerfield but you joined the military anyhow are unreconstructed racists and traitors to the "Nation of Earth."

I just don't feel like covering this crap. But here you go. Just the latest.

Harry Reid questions Limbaugh's patriotism.

Harkin says maybe he's still on drugs.

Instapundit links some other crap about this crap, noting someone who observes this is just the left desperately contriving their own "General Betray-Us" outrage (and failing rather miserably).

Note the, uh, suspicious and illegal coordination between the "nonpartisan" MoveOn and the Democrats on this point, one pushing a new meme and the others hungrily seizing upon it, "coordinating" their messages quite clearly despite the fact that that the tax codes forbid this.

Here's Mark Levin wondering rhetorically what would be shown if we could examine the emails back and forth between the DNC, the Clinton campaign, the Clinton Senate staff, MoveOn, and Media Matters. There is hardly any doubt all of them are breaking the law to harmonize, synthesize and synergize their political messaging. Which makes Hillary, the Democrats, George Soros and the rest of the hard left guilty of both illegal campaign contributions, breaking other laws of the FEC, and general tax fraud. Which is about as surprising as a photo of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a bathroom stall with George Michael.

Say It To My Face, Senator: Rush questions Harry Reid's masculinity.

Rich, Savory Irony: Tom Harkin's complaining about the "phony soldier" remark?

I don't blame him -- turns out he's a bit of a phony soldier himself.

I noted back in 2004, the last time Harkin made this an issue, that the press was giving him a pass. Will it do so again? And why are the Democrats letting Harkin, of all people, get out front on this issue?

Sometimes the difference between a rhetorical question and a retarded one is pretty blurry.

They're letting him get in front of it because they know there's no chance of any downside to doing so. The Deciders have decided it's not an issue. Or at least it's only an issue in the way they say it is.

When I was younger and not as wise, I mocked the theory that the world was being controlled by a race of shapeshifting reptilian Jewish space vampires called "Reptoids" whose ranks included such luminaries as the Queen of England and, um, Kris Kristofferson. (If you play Me and Bobby McGee backwards, it reveals the exact coordinates of NORAD's secret Rocky Mountain Strangelove Sex Shaft.)

Well, just goes to show you. There is now, it is averred, proof that the Reptoids walk among us, and, even more frightening, they are largely brown people.

God, I was afraid of them enough when they were merely reptilian aliens from space who wanted to suck my blood while performing rituals from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Now, on top of all of that, they keep pushing shows like Moesha on me.

Courage.

He doesn't know the difference between a Sunni and Shia, but he definitely understands the relationship between a quid and a quo.

Are you kidding me? How in-the-bag for the Democrats does the media have to be to fail to dig into the head of the Intelligence Committee taking bribes and diverting precious dollars to those feathering his nest?

I hadn't heard about this before today, but apparently some people are pretty steamed about the NICS Improvement Amendments Act. Larry Pratt, the originator of this particular warning, makes some very troubling claims about what he has dubbed "the Veterans Disarmament Act."

Since these claims, if true, are almost certain to cause a clamor in the Right Blogosphere, and yet no outcry has been heard, I felt compelled to look a little closer. Here's what Pratt warns:

The Veterans Disarmament Act — which has already passed the House — would place any veteran who has ever been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on the federal gun ban list.

That sounds like a serious problem, so I took a closer look at the bill, HR 2640. It turns out that Pratt just flat-out lies about what the bill contains.

In the extended entry area I go through his objection. The short version is: Much. Ado. About. Nothing.

h/t Jahi for sending me the original link to Pratt's article. more...

I'm afraid they are serious, John.

Bear any burden, huh? Yeah.

Maybe if she just wouldn't be so fearful she wouldn't have so much trouble finding a home.
