Stunning account of the Fort Hood war zone: A young man walked up to me and asked if I could help him, I asked him, "where are you shot?", he told me in the chest...I directed him to go sit in my ambulance and an army medic sat with him and started oxygen and bandaging on him; in the mist of the madness I was trying to determine who would be the first to be transported still waiting on the...

So Mary ran uptown to drop something off, and then she stopped into a little antiques store on Rosemary St, and then she thought, "I'll just pop my into Red Window" (a furniture store opened by Elizabeth Edwards promising some sort of oddball discounting of fancy chairs and whatnot). And Mary goes in and who does she find sitting there jabbering on his cellphone, alone minding the place,...

There are a lot of complete wackos out in the U.S. prison system, but very few of them (probably for the best) hand-write court papers and file lawsuits. Jonathan Lee Riches (a.k.a. Bernard Madoff) is one of the chosen few. In a recent court declaration, the Indiana inmate sued for custody of the eight kids of Jon and Kate Gosselin and the offspring of Octomom Nadya Suleman. Oh, and in a political...

[ Note : I'll be updating this post with names and links to the other participants ] This morning, I was privileged to participate in a blogger teleconference with Rep Joe "You Life!" Wilson (R-SC) about health care and the War on Terror. We'll focus primarily on the former, but I learned something very interesting about the latter which I'll share at the end of this post. Rep Wilson began...

There's a contest to promote Glenn Beck's latest book, " Arguing With Idiots ". I bought it. It's really very good. Well written, well sourced, interesting, and entertaining. It is better than I expected. Anyway, here's my pick for the top reader promo video. For those not in the know, "Sally Muckenfutch" is, I believe, a fictional name that Glenn came up with to use as a substitute...

Each month when I get the official unemployment figures from the US government, I quickly search in my inbox for a note from former cable network CEO and senior economic adviser in the John Edwards and Barack Obama campaigns Leo...

We may not have John Edwards to kick around anymore – though that hasn’t stopped us from putting the occasional boot into his backside, has it? – but he did leave us with a paradigm that remains useful in surveying the political landscape circa November 2009. Forget, for the moment, Edwards’ rhetoric about the rich [...]

You just finished talking with a classmate in the library. You smile. Maybe it was a funny subject or perhaps you were smiling so that he would think you got the joke. For whatever reason (see below), your cheeks crinkle up, your lips pull back so severely that your top lip threatens your nasal cavity and your natural dentures peak through the gap. You've probably been holding this awkward pose for...

As John Edwards said, There are two Americas. There are also two "civil wars," one the concern-troll media is forever nattering on about, and the other they paper over and attempt to obscure to avoid problems for their precious Darling...

1. Why didn't Gore participate in the Senate climate scam hearings last week? If he wasn't a political liability nowadays, wouldn't he have been there? The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee held three days of hearings with 54 witnesses last week on climate change legislation. 2. It's been almost a year since Obama won the presidency. Has he installed solar panels or wind turbines on the...

Not everything about the X Factor would meet with the approval of UN-mandated Next Left election observers. In particular, we would express grave concerns about the failure to provide a separation of powers to protect the judicial process from partisan influences. Endemic conflicts of interest are created by the managers of the acts doubling up as the judges who decide which of the two least popular...

From the forthcoming David Plouffe book:Sometime after the South Carolina debate Plouffe got a call from a senior Edwards Advisor who said Edwards was willing to announce the end of his campaign and join forces with Obama to defeat Clinton. When Plouffe asked if he could raise this with Obama the Edwards advisor said, “Yes.…Just to be clear we’re going to talk to the Clinton people...

Yeah, Joe Lieberman is a wanker . But consider the forum given to him yesterday to keep on lying about healthcare reform. If Schieffer had bothered to challenge Lieberman on the blizzard of misinformation he spewed out in those few minutes, he would have exposed the hollowness of Lieberman’s arguments. But as is usually the case, all the questions he asked were about the politics of reform....

Elizabeth Edwards, wife of John Edwards, former North Carolina senator, wrote in her new memoir that the news of her husband’s affair made her vomit.

There is something quite strange for someone bored by details of the privacy of others, to see the media, starting with those "serious", enjoyed with things, which are nothing else than gossip. What is surprising is the implacable march of something incredibly reactionary and normalizer. It's not only that we know that this one (John Edwards) has cheated on his wife with this one, nor even that we
