Ambulance Drivers' Union to members: "Polish your rear-view mirrors."

John Edwards is out of the race and will be going back to chasing you guys again in the near future.

Handey Book: "What I'd Say to the Martians"

Oh, good, Jack Handey has a new book out.

I must confess that Handey is just about my favorite comic writer. Fortunately (for me) none of you have had to abide my "double-Jack episodes". That's when I sit down at a festive gathering with a bottle of Jack Daniel's and a stack of Jack Handey books and read aloud the Deep Thoughts contained therein until I've utterly cleared the room.

WD in B&W



Looks like Willie borrowed some duds from Mr. Rogers.

Get out your flamethrowers...

...because I agree with Andrew Sullivan: "Something has gone seriously wrong with the right when John McCain is not regarded as a conservative."

Especially in comparison with the other front-runners.

Looks like Medved was right.


Incidentally, McCain won Florida.

JLH: Boom Boom Boom Boom

Nice Versus Nasty

Good article. Not that Obama is "nice" and Hillary is "nasty", it's just the way they come off. Right?

Moreover, the multi-state field of Super Tuesday does not play to Obama's signature strength: his ability to win over voters in live town-hall settings, using his soaring oratory and personal charm. That worked for him in Iowa, where many voters met him personally more than once. In a national campaign, by contrast, most voters' only contact with Obama will be through advertising and surrogates.

So does this mean that folks who vote for Hillary Clinton are most likely those who have never met Barack Obama?

My bet is still on Hillary to win the nomination. Obama is young and idealistic, but she's battle-hardened. That is about the nicest way I can put it, and I'm not that nice, it's just the way I come off. Right?

Failure

The FeedBlitz drive ended yesterday. My goal was to sign up 15 readers, and I utterly failed to meet my goal. This is failure defined. Of course, I haven't blogged in several days, but I can't help that I'm human and have other things to do. Sheeeeeeeesh....

Words fail me. Let's see what the "Man in Black" says about the situation:


OMG, that is so rude, Mr. Cash! I'm shocked that you would make such an uncourteous gesture. After all, I did sign up three new people. Now they will probably stop reading my blog as well.



LOL: "We're not just talking about, you know, something else, you know, we're talking about my life, you know...."
