elfsIf I had all the time in the world, here's what I'd write about:
Florida state representative Robert Allen accused of soliciting oral sex for money in a men's room. Yep, he's a Republican. Married, kid. Family values.
Alberto Gonzalez lied to Congress. Unfortunately, the Bush administration's response now comes down, "Yeah... and? What are you gonna do about it?"
NY Times reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg is "queasy" about attending a White House ceremony because "the White House Press Corps is under attack by liberal bloggers." What was that about the MSM being too liberal again?
A lot of people have suggested that, pathetically, it's going to take another terrorist attack to wake us from our slumber. Wouldn't it be fitting if it were in a movie theater? Jonathan Swift on the "conservative's" strange desire to see more terrorist attacks on American soil just to prove to us that brown people are a danger.
If you have a friend or relative who has been persuaded by the media, big business, politicians, university programs, including courses of study, or any person or group to try this deadly lifestyle, and especially if your friend or relative is already suffering from a serious disease contracted as a result of it, talk to him or her at the first opportunity about the very real possibility of starting a class-action lawsuit against the group or groups that persuaded them to enter into the activity that did them in. Together, we can stop Big Sodomy.
McCain blames his downfall on his handlers' insisting he wear "gay sweaters." Critics contend this only proves McCain is a micromanaged git who fails to be his own man.
Who knew? Sex is good for ya. Almost like it's, uh, natural for us or somethin'.
Another treasure from Gretchen: How to feel happier by the end of the day.
Dogs Against Romney. Cute!
A history of thermonulear oopses.
Michael Leeden of the American Enterprise Institute: "Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business." From Brad DeLong's Little Golden Book of NeoConservatism, a field guide for the perplexed.
35% of Americans think the Marxist doctrine, "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs," is actually a quote from the Constitution.
Conservatives against Capitalism. Thesis: modern capitalism is driven by people satisfying their desires, a drive that is essentially immature. The ability to discern what is truly good for one's self is a barrier to consumption and satisfaction, and so modern society has crafted the paradigm that maturity must be postponed for as long as possible.
Matt Yglasias: Technological and economic change has raised the age at which people-- particularly more upscale people-- do things like get married and have children. But biology stays the same. Consequently, people in their teens and early twenties engage in a lot of courtship-related program activities that don't really entail a good-faith search for a spouse.

(of course, I think he would prefer us in camps.)
