As Bruno and I predicted, the Dems have sent the hounds after Palin’s records:
Democrats have airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers into Anchorage, the state capital Juneau and Mrs. Palin’s hometown of Wasilla to dig into her record and background. My sources report the first wave arrived in Anchorage less than [...]

From manyeyes.com:

When McCain announced Palin as his pick for VP, many commentators — myself included — thought the obvious: Palin was a cynical effort to win Dems disillusioned by Hillary’s exclusion from Obama’s ticket.
Now I’m not so sure.
After watching some of the GOP convention last night, it seems increasingly likely to me that Palin is actually [...]

Most administrations have the good grace to go gently into their dottage.  Not so Commander Cody and his Merry Band.
* Cheney affirms US desire to bring Georgia into NATO
* US Special Ops attack militants inside Pakistan
Thanks, George and Dick!  What, you think Putin’s going to be making googly-eyes at VP Lite and that the Pakistani [...]

Poland and the United States reached an agreement Thursday that will see a battery of American missiles established [...]

We pause a moment from the erudite and enlightened dialog you’ll usually find on this site to bring you a tale of woe possible only in Seattle.
For years, I’d heard the rumors that the Seattle police actually write tickets for jaywalking. Well, turns out the rumors are true.

Just when I was starting to think [...]

Oh, yeah.  Desperation.

Speaking to donors at a San Diego fund-raiser last month, Barack Obama reassured the crowd that he wouldn’t give in to Republican tactics to throw his candidacy off track.
“Listen, I’m skinny but I’m tough,” Sen. Obama said.
But in a nation in which 66% of the voting-age population is overweight and 32% is obese, [...]

Obama detractors on Left and Right have both taken pains to paint him as a closet Muslim. The willing mix up of “Obama” with “Osama” is just the most egregious example of a pattern that’s emerged over and over in this campaign - point out Obama’s differences in an effort to marginalize him and [...]
