How awesome would this be? The Republican National Committee, already threatening to block CNN and NBC from hosting 2016 primary debates if they air planned features on Hillary Clinton, is also looking to scrap the old model of having reporters and news personalities ask the questions at candidate forums. Miffed that their candidates were singled out for personal questions or … Read More

TBogg blogging is no more (well, as of Thursday).  He's moving on.  Too bad.  He's the author of the best blog post ever.

The title of the latest episode of The Newsroom is "Unintended Consequences", and the show is chock full of them.  While this show hit many of the story lines (and even linked a couple of them together), this was Maggie's show.   As with all the episodes this season so far, the events are framed around a person being interviewed at a … Read More

Early reports are that the Supreme Court is again concerned about standing in the DOMA case.  Roberts in particular noted that it was unusual for the executive branch to choose not to defend a law passed by Congress. So again, SCOTUS seems wary about even deciding the case. UPDATE: Final update: #scotus 80% likely to strike down #doma. J Kennedy suggests … Read More

… but I can't prove it. Anyway, they've exhumed Natalie Wood and amended her death certificate: Questions about bruises on the body of actress Natalie Wood, whose body was found floating off Catalina Island in 1981, led the Los Angeles County coroner's office to change the cause of death from "accidental drowning" to "drowning and other undetermined factors." "With the … Read More

“MODELS SHOW PRESSURE WELL BEYOND WHAT HAS EVER BEEN OBSERVED NEAR THE NJ/NY COAST (EVEN EXCEEDING THE 1938 LONG ISLAND EXPRESS [HURRICANE])” writes NOAA’s Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC). Connecticut meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan noted there has only been one tropical storm with the pressure below 960 mb in the last 60 years in the Northeast. Bob Henson of the University Center for Atmospheric Research adds: … Read More

Fun Fact: Winners of first Presidential debates include "Presidents" Mondale, Dukakis, Perot and Kerry. Still, I'm not comforted. ********************* It's amusing to watch the media narrative congeal.  Last night, it was clear that Romney won; this morning, Romney gave the greatest debate in the modern history of the Republican party.  Maybe that's true, but I certainly didn't feel that way … Read More

Apparently, the Romney campaign has an audio clip stuffed in a drawer for such an eventuality as this. The audio clip first surfaced Tuesday, as Democrats were seizing upon their own video of Romney speaking at a private fund-raiser in Florida. That event was held in May. The clip of Obama was recorded in 1998 at Loyola University, according to Romney's campaign … Read More

I think the most damning thing you can say about the Romney acceptance speech last night was that the Obama team chose to excerpt him heavily, along with his stiffness and non-specificness, in an ad this morning.  I mean, look at Romney thoughout this ad, especially the last 10 seconds:  

Well, Aaron Walker got SWATed last night, which provides him an opportunity to act like a First Amendment martyr.  It also allowed him to play his favorite game: "I am famous, look at me". Dang, indeed.  It also got him some Twitter followers, which for Aaron is validation of self-worth that he apparently didn't get as a child: Still, the … Read More

All you've ever done is whine about how government spending is out of control, and government is too big and bloated. And then suddenly, there are wildfires in your backyard, and you're complaining that the federal government isn't there? Also, global warming, you jackass. So, in conclusion, shut up.

A blogger tries to sum up the controversy between Brett Kimberlin and Aaron Walker: So he [Kimberlin] runs into another dick [Walker] (who is more of the garden-variety sort, has lots of friends among the 101st Keyboard Kommandos because of a stint over at Patterico’s and is a lawyer), and like two subcritical masses of plutonium banging together, it results … Read More

I love Tbogg: For those who haven’t been following it (and why should you?) a group of B & C-list bloggers (a “bother of bloggers“) got together to wage bloggy jihad on Kimberlin and, in the process, have elevated him in the spookhouse of their minds into Professor Moriarty/Emmanuel Goldstein/ the ‘beast’ in Lord of the Flies/Lord Voldemort/the 12th Cylon or … Read More
