Hell, if any Republican had done every exact thing that Barack Obama has done in the first 100 days, it would be reported like this… (Hat-tip: Instapundit)
Constipated
This really never used to happen to me, prior to about age 46. But man, it’s happening now. Been like this for about three days. It’s usually triggered by some big, hearty meal I’ve ingested: My bowels just say Whoa, dude!
I usually just wait until it goes away. Today I could wait no more. This morning I tried some sort of natural-laxitive food suppliment Suzanne had on hand. It didn’t do jack shit (pun intended). So I asked my darling to pick up some real laxitive on her way home from work, something that didn’t say “gentle” on the label. I just took one. We’ll see what happens.
UPDATE: Is much better now.
George Will: A Tincture of Lawlessness
Mr. Will, writing in today’s Washington Post:
“The administration’s central activity — the political allocation of wealth and opportunity — is not merely susceptible to corruption, it is corruption.”
What makes it worse is that he has the Democrat super-majority Congress in his back-pocket, freeing his administration to engage in any type of chicanery it can envision. “Throwing the bums out” in November 2010 is pretty much our only hope of undoing at least some of the damage this president has already done.
Woulda-coulda-shoulda dept.
Would Hillary have won the Democratic nomination had John Edwards’ dalliance outside the bonds of marriage been known earlier? Not necessarily. Democrat pollster Mark Blumenthal is interviewed by NPR. I think he leaves out the most important factor: that Edwards was much closer politically to Obama (i.e. more liberal) than Hillary. His supporters were simply more likely to become Obama supporters (which, ultimately, is what happened).
U.S. Threatens the U.K.
They told me that if I voted for John McCain, our special relationships with close foreign allies would suffer. And they were right!
UPDATE: And they’re still right!
