The Dog That Hasn't Barked

In a week that has seen an amazing assortment of charges thrown at Sarah Palin, it occurs to me that the Democrat's natural attack dog should be Hillary Clinton.

A Google search with the terms - Hillary Attacks Palin - reveals many pleas for Hillary Clinton to do so, but precious little otherwise.

Is Hillary playing the waiting game? Perhaps she is holding her fire for the inevitable Clinton/Palin clash of 2012?

Biden Threatens Criminal Pursuit of Bush

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden said yesterday that he and running mate Barack Obama could pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration if they are elected in November.

I wonder if these highly educated politicians have ever heard of Marius or Sulla?

Dave Winer's Time Machine

Dave Winer, in full throated roar (and not a little panic) regarding Sarah Palin, remembers the injustice that he was facing the draft in 1972 yet unable to vote. Of course, since he was born in 1955, he missed being eligible for the draft by two years. Some things are simply seared into the brain. Even if they never happened.

Update: Winer has deleted the comments pointing out his space-time incongruity. Look for him to drop the whole issue into the memory hole. Screen capture is safely stored.

Democrats everywhere are channeling Pat Robertson and James Dobson. God is their weatherman.

Former chairman of the Democratic National Committee actually uses the phrase "God is on our side." in reference to the approach of Hurricane Gustav.

Dog bites man. Obama frightens seniors over Social Security.

GRESHAM, Ore. (AP) - Hours before being greeted by the biggest crowd of his campaign, Democrat Barack Obama quietly told a small group of seniors Sunday that Republican John McCain would threaten the Social Security they depend on because he supports privatizing the program.

Delay can't promise to support McCain

Remember that McCain was the chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee that unearthed much of the Tom Delay/Jack Abramoff dirt.

Fred backs McCain

"This is no longer about past preferences or differences. It is about what is best for our country and for me that means that Republican should close ranks behind John McCain."

Reflections upon Super Tuesday - with a nod towards Bertolt Brecht

After the uprising of the 5th of February
Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity
Had leaflets distributed by the Club for Growth
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the conservatives
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for CPAC
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
