This is exactly what his presidency needed right now -- a move to the left. Glad to see he's bolstering his support with the critical 10% or so who comprise the anti-nuke crowd. 

@The King Prawn -- the analogy almost works, except that he never caught a game winning touchdown . . . or any football, for that matter. He gave a speech to fans of the other team hinting that he didn't really like his own team very much, and promising that they would be nicer and less hard hitting in future games.

Las Vegas in mid-July. Hmm... Were all the rooms in Phoenix booked?

Oh, there's rhyme and reason. Below we see Lindsey, contemplating the horrors of waterboarding, while his constituents wonder how to get his attention....

Uh oh, don't know what showed up on your screen. I had attempted to insert a couple of big red hearts between Lindsay and Lindsay, to emphasize how much he really, truly adores himself. Lindsay is clearly one of Lindsay's very favorite people in the whole world, and Lindsay never, ever tires of hearing Lindsay prattle.

Something very important to know about Lindsay Graham:

Sawatdeeka, any chance you can clone yourself about 100,000 times? I think that's about the number of public high schools in America.

Is Ben 35 yet?

I was just thinking the other day that the reasons for US Civil War "are there for everybody to see.  I think it's important that you set out the facts and it's clear that at that point in [the North's] history, it was important that there was a war that ensured that the [United States] could continue to be a set of [states] which were strong and could be working together rather than in any other way."

Yep, her squishy explanation sounds absurd no matter what war you apply it to.

You must be a lyricist in your day job. Also need to delete "up" after plug. 

Thanks for the assist.

With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein:

The farmer and the greenie should be friends

Oh the farmer and the greenie should be friends

One man likes to push the plow

The other wants to plug the cow

But that's no reason why they cain't be friends.

H/t to Drew in Wisconsin on getting the meter right.

Does EPA have rogue employees in Cincinnati too?

When you're looking for a good cup o' joe after a sleepless night in the midnight sun, you could do a lot worse than Three-Peckered Billy Goat. It's roasted in Ketchikan but no doubt available in Anchorage.  Damned good dark roast. [Note to CoC police: that is the actual name of this coffee].

 This is what happens when various kinds of profiling are declared to be evidence of racism, xenophobia, etc. We not only force the police to be moronically indiscriminate in such matters, but we also massively increase their workload while simultaneously reducing their effectiveness.

In this regard, TSA has become the default model for policing.  Does anyone truly believe we would need even half as many blue shirts standing around in airports if they could spend their time focusing on real threats rather than feeling up grandma?

Mollie: "I'm much more weirded out by the liberals who screamed bloody murder at the Patriot Act who have suddenly gotten all comfortable with it under Obama."

Relax, people. It's just dad keeping track of us.

If you haven't tried Dennis Prager, you will want to rush to download his podcasts from Pragertopia.

Ricochet editors, don't blame me if he becomes HvA's favorite.
