I have to laugh, because I've outsmarted even myself. My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And, whenever possible, to look like one. I've gotta get inside this guy's pelt and crawl around for a few days. /Need to bust that out of the old video cabinet.//FREEZE GOPHER!

McCain, his pants around his ankles, reading the newspaper, cock in hand, screaming "HE'S A NIGGER!" as little puffs of dust spew from his limp little pecker (did the Viet Cong let him keep it'). Switch to Obama in blackface, a fedora with a zoot suit on. "Because, you know, I don't look like none a them there preznits on da dollah bills." [/Kingfish (or Uncle Remus if you prefer) voice] Seems, somehow,...

Buchanan: Obama is the New LBJ

VOLuntarilyConservative (Free subscription) | 07/30/2008

WorldNetDaily has an interesting piece by Pat Buchanan on how similar Obama's plan with how to deal with Afghanistan is to Lyndon Johnson's manner in dealing with the Viet Cong after Nixon's resignation. A plan without an endgame is either wishful thinking or political pandering. Perhaps Obama's is a bit of both. America cannot win in Afghanistan with a mere addition of 10,000 troops fresh off of time...

The Offside Rules (Free subscription) | 07/28/2008

With the Olympics sneaking up on me all Viet Cong-style, I figure there may be a few others out there who are also on the verge of ambush. If you go over to NBC's Olympic website there's all kinds of video, bios and stories on the competing athletes, including the soccer players. From the US pool I found this gem on frequent flying Sacha Klejstan --whose mustachioed mug is soon to grace the new Milk...

Minor nit pick but McCain was tortured by the North Vietnamese, not the Viet Cong.
