John McCain's reckless machoism.

Is "machoism" even a word? (that's beside the point. Get on with it. -ed)

Anyway...Dana is annoyed with John McCain for not having a protective detail. He's putting himself at risk and blah blah blah. If, however, there was a report touting McCain for availing himself of extra protection the blog post would have read "McCain lives in fear, wastes taxpayer money with unnecessary security" or some such.

Partisanship is boring. Less please.

The word is machismo. And every time it's used as a putdown, an angel gets its wings.

The widebar widget counting up on the cost of Iraq operations is...adorable. Where do I get one that ticks away the cost of redistributionist social programs at the federal, state and county levels since 1965?

Yup nobody mentions that the cost of Federal social spending is something like $1.3 Trillion this year alone.

Note also that Democrats become very very interested in ROI for military spending but not so much for ever expanding social programs.

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
