I'm sure they will push back. I just not sure if it will work.

Well, now that you mention it, the Obama campaign, by and large, has shown itself to be a more agile, resilient, and well-prepared campaign than Hillary Clinton's. I was starting to think things were coming apart at the seams for Obama with the Goolsbee and Powers flaps and the Ohio setbacks. But then Geraldine Ferraro trotted her "it takes a token to recognize a token" talking points out, and the Clinton campaign allowed her to explode like a shit-grenade all over the morning shows in one ill-considered day of hemmorhaging PR. When it comes down to the knife-fighting in the general election, I'm much more confident in Obama's strength as a candidate and the strength of his campaign than I am in the Clinton campaign.

So I clicked on won'tgetfooledagain's other letters, clicked on a random link out of the 17 or so pages that popped up, and found one of him gleefully trying to carry water for that "Obama plagiarized Deval Patrick's speech" meme.

I fear you won't get anything but pre-digested talking points out of this one, if indeed it is capable of typing on its own.

KINDLY avoid the STUPID caps-locking, and while you're at it, KINDLY avoid PROJECTING your own RACISM onto Barack Obama.

Damn it, you beat me to the Weeds reference.

Having had discussions with my Prius-owning friends about what a "stealth" car the Prius is, I fell out of my chair laughing when the drug dealer U-Turn informed Nancy that, after riding in her Prius, he bought a whole fleet for his operation, (I'm going to butcher the quote because it's been a while) "To sneak up on motherfuckers real quiet-like, and pop pop pop!"

That construction worker shoulda used a Clemens jersey instead.

made me wish my TV came with a "punch Charlie Gibson in the throat" button.

I'm too depressed and annoyed to keep up with this crap any more. Congratulations, America, our overstuffed, anti-democratic, serially ridiculous election system has managed to break my heart and my will. Wake me when we inaugurate the next war criminal.

The movie was called "White Chicks". Nice job fabricating something to bolster your specious point, though. Top notch.

Self-explanatory. If the movie was called "White Chicks" and you knew this, why make up a flagrantly offensive title for it and lethally weaken whatever fat-headed point you thought you were about to make? Oh right, because you're a fucking moron.

Good piece. Thanks for keeping the fire burning on this issue, even when our terminally compromised corporate media tries to wish it away.

I had some respect for Tom Brokaw and I to wonder what he'd think about his successor's failings. Last I heard of Brokaw was him admonishing Chris Matthews (and the rest of the press corps) for the horserace-calling bent of New Hampshire primary coverage.

For daring to call the violation behind "Spygate" a technicality, even though there will be a thousand overdramatic drama mamas crying about how it was OMGZORZ the Biggest Sports Scandal Evar and how Bill Belichick destroyed their faith in the timeless, classic, heretofore corruption-free sport of NFL football.

is why I'm proud of the students from my alma mater who threw a pie in his face. Sure, they did it because he was doing an Earth Day keynote address on campus and they didn't like his environmental policies, but Friedman deserves public humiliation at least for the "Friedman Unit" brand of serialized dishonesty, and for this latest round of rah-rah warmongering. Suck on it, Friedman.

But the only way to achieve a revolution in the diseased political-media culture in this country and take our discourse back from professional shitheels like Kevin James is to whack every one of them, on camera, to serve as a lesson to other would-be professional shitheels.

Kevin James was not wearing a flag pin.

Kevin James, on top of being an ignorant douche nozzle and having a grasp of history that is less than that of a clever 8th grader, why do you hate America so much?

Is Novak finally fessing up to the fact that McCain has no "weapons" in this fight except to Swift-Boat Obama with pernicious guilt by association attacks?

Schilling's blog entry, which King linked, does detail what Schilling heard Garnett say:

He did NOT call the ref a name, he was bitching about a non-call and said "C'mon, what the F am I supposed to do" and got the T. Now I watch both Pierce, and I think Allen, talking to this ref and he shoots back to Paul this little tidbit. "I can't let him talk to me that way."

... has been watching the Celtics' defense frustrate Kobe Bryant. But hearing the Boston crowd "No means no!" at Kobe is probably #2 on the list.

The problem with maintaining an underclass of ignorant, easily led morons is, of course, that sometimes they get elected to office and start leading each other around.

such monstrosities as Dunkin' Donuts house coffee

Maybe I'm just being a clueless New Englander, but what the hell is wrong with Dunkies' coffee? I would order it over Starbucks any day.

I don't have to use pretentious pseudo-Italian words to order a fucking cup of coffee.

Starbucks made the world safe for good coffee by selling overpriced crappy coffee and convincing everyone that it was good?

Sure, just like Evian made the world safe for, uh, "good water"...
