(This is cross-posted at my place.) I don’t know why Andrew Sullivan continues to pontificate about black people, since it’s clear that he really doesn’t know what he’s talking about. For example, today, he closed a brief post on white evangelicals and gay marriage with this little “observation”: Black evangelicals are another matter. There is, alas, Read More
A couple weeks ago when Matt Damon called out the Palin mess for the insipid Disney movie that it is, quadmoniker and I decided that that movie was called “Mommy in Chief.” We were gonna write a fake trailer for it and everything. Turns out, some folks already beat us to it. Their trailer doesn’t Read More
In case you hadn’t heard yet, the planned $700B bailout of Wall Street failed. The Dow is in a swoon, down 700+ points right now. So what happens now? Douthat: The worst case: You know what.

After the debates last Friday, Joe Biden went into bulldog mode, hitting up news outlets to spin for Obama. McCain’s camp drafted the consistently reprehensible Rudy Giuliani to do the same, a clear indication of how much of a media liability Sarah Palin has become in their eyes. Where was Palin? As far away from Read More
If I had to guess, it would be a long riff on McCain’s cartoonish refusal to look Obama in the eye. Also bracelets. Update: John Cole agrees. It is going to be John McCain going to great lengths to avoid looking Obama in the eye. I can see them having Darrell Hammond holding up his Read More
If you’re in front of your comp and watching, have at it.
