Quote of the Day

Retired Gen. Wesley Clark on Senator Holy Joe Lieberman.
"Only someone who never wore the uniform or thought seriously about national security would make threats at this point."

Top Five

A quick rundown of the posts I have read during my travels around the series of tubes.

- Think Progress: While Mitt ‘Pretty’ Romney was Governor of Massachusetts he denied a decorated Iraq war veteran a pardon. At age 13, the Iraq war veteran was convicted of assault for shooting another boy in the arm with a BB gun, a shot that didn’t break the skin. Now, running for President Mitt ‘Pretty’ Romney is in favor of a Presidential pardon for convicted felon and Republican hack Scooter Libby. Rep. Barney Frank is correct; Mitt ‘Pretty’ Romney has no perceivable political principle whatsover.

- The Carpetbagger Report: Rudy Giuliani outlined his 12 bumper-sticker slogans major priorities of his presidency.

- Crooks and Liars: Apparently, facts have a well know liberal bias.

- MyDD: President Bush can not deliver the big bucks for the GOP.

- Daily Kos: The Chairman of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party calls on Senator Holy Joe Lieberman to resign after his Iran bombing comments on Face the Nation.

Bonus Quote of the Day

Rep. Barney Frank:
"The real Romney is clearly an extraordinarily ambitious man with no perceivable political principle whatsover. He is the most intellectually dishonest human being in the history of politics."

Quote of the Day

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid:
"I’ve learned one thing in listening to all the debates and reading about all these people running for office, and the one fact I’ve learned, I can’t get out of my mind, is that Rudy Giuliani has been married more times than Mitt Romney’s been hunting."

- The Carpetbagger Report: Dennis Miller the comedian whose first syndicated talk show was cancelled after less than a year, his HBO talk show was cancelled, his CNBC talk show was cancelled, and he was fired from his Monday Night Football gig who now does two-minute tirades on a late-night Daily-Show knock-off calls Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid irrelevant.

It Is What It Is

The Sopranos is finally over.

After watching the second to last show of the Sopranos in which Bobby and Silvio were gunned down, I fully expected an actual conclusion of the series. I was looking forward for a Six Feet Under ending, but what David Chase did was opposite. It was an ending without an ending. Now, we are just left with questions. The key question of last night final was Tony Killed at the diner? The closing minutes of the Sopranos were tense as Tony’s family members gathered while it seems every person in the diner looked very specious and when Meadow finally entered the diner Tony looks up and then was black. The credits started with roll without any music and I was left emotionless.

It is what it is.

- Amigos de Obama.com: Senator Obama is doing this best to hold down the Reggaeton vote. I’m definitely getting Obama’s Reggaeton ring tone.

Quote of the Day

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg:
There are lots of threats to you in the world. There's the threat of a heart attack for genetic reasons. You can't sit there and worry about everything. Get a life. You have a much greater danger of being hit by lightning than being struck by a terrorist.

A quick rundown of the posts I have read during my travels around the series of tubes.

- The Nation: During last night Republican presidential debate all the candidates had the chance to answer the following question: how they would "use" the outgoing president in their administrations? My favorite answer was giving by Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo who stated the President would never darken the door of the White House in this administration.

- Rolling Stone: If you love President Bush, then you are going to love Rudy Giuliani. Matt Taibbi goes in-depth about how much worst a Giuliani Presidency would be for our democracy.
Rudy giuliani is a true American hero, and we know this because he does all the things we expect of heroes these days -- like make $16 million a year, and lobby for Hugo Chávez and Rupert Murdoch, and promote wars without ever having served in the military, and hire a lawyer to call his second wife a "stuck pig," and organize absurd, grandstanding pogroms against minor foreign artists, and generally drift through life being a shameless opportunist with an outsize ego who doesn't even bother to conceal the fact that he's had a hard-on for the presidency since he was in diapers. In the media age, we can't have a hero humble enough to actually be one; what is needed is a tireless scoundrel, a cad willing to pose all day long for photos, who'll accept $100,000 to talk about heroism for an hour, who has the balls to take a $2.7 million advance to write a book about himself called Leadership. That's Rudy Giuliani. Our hero. And a perfect choice to uphold the legacy of George W. Bush.
- The Carpetbagger Report: The GOP presidential candidates rather hate gay people than protect Americans from terrorists.

- Election Central: Rudy Giuliani flip-flops on making English the country's official language to appease this Conservative base.

- The Fan House: I can’t believe that I’m going to say this but, I actually agree with Chicago White Sox manger Ozzie Guillen.

- Talking Points Memo: Black people all look like to the Fox News Network.

- Think Progress: Judge Leslie Southwick, nominated by President Bush for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, can not name one time she judge in favor for a poor person, or a member of a minority group, or someone who’d simply turned to the courts for help. Judge Southwick is the prefect Republican judge.

- The Carpetbagger Report: Will the Democrats finally kick indicted Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) out of Congress? It’s long over due.
