Prime Time Thread
As the sun goes down on the western shore, it's your Friday night open thread.
Lanny Davis

Excellent Strategy, Boys
The Republicans continue to dig their own political graves. Yglesias informs us: Michael Goldfarb of The Weekly Standard and Stuart Taylor of National Journal are genuinely engaged in an Ahab-like...
Quote of the Day
"Translating our name as “the race” is not only inaccurate, it is factually incorrect. “Hispanic” is an ethnicity, not a race. As anyone who has ever met a Dominican American, Mexican American, or...
Quite Possibly The Worst Thing Ever
G. Gordon Liddy on Judge Sotomayor: Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows...
Glad-Handery
On a bookish note, I'll be at the BEA in New York (Javits Center) tomorrow afternoon signing my book. 1-1:30 p.m. at the Sterling & Ross booth, #4411. If you want to make with the talking and...

Kos diarist JekyllnHyde covers an historic anniversary: the deployment of the 54th Massachusetts, the legendary African American regiment during the Civil War. As JekyllnHyde points out, it only...
Mine, Too
Barnicle's head is going to explode unless guys like Scarborough and Buchanan put Judge Sotomayor's "Latina woman" comments in context: Buchanan's new column, for example, doesn't: Like Obama...

Go Tom Tancredo!
Eric Boehlert and Rick Sanchez entirely debunk and embarrass Tom Tancredo. Keep going, Republicans! More Tancredo! More everything!
Prime Time Thread
As the waves crash in on the western shore, it's your Thursday night open thread. Don't forget Elvis Dingeldein's Gut Reaction tonight! Former Kennedy speechwriter Ted Sorenson is on the show...
Krikorian Digs Deeper
Remember the NRO wingnut who wrote yesterday about how we should pronounce "Sotomayor" however the hell we feel like pronouncing it? He's digging a deeper hole for himself: [F]or those actually...
Cookies Kept Us Safe
Ali Soufan, who also attained mountains of information from his hands-off interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, tells TIME Magazine that interrogators were able to get valuable information from an al-Qaeda...
Oh, Dennis Miller.
Why did you let the terrorists steal your funny? This is so unfunny and really damn awful. A Flamenco dance? Really?
Correction
I wrote earlier that Mankiw's Dead Granny Hates Judge's Spending Habits attack was the dumbest attack against anyone ever. I was wrong. Michelle Malkin and the wingnutosphere are claiming that most...
Super Stupid
Hang on tight. This is quite possibly the dumbest attack against anyone ever. Conservative economist Greg Mankiw: Apparently, the new Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is an example of the latter...
POW! ZING! HOOT!
Comic artist and writer Bill Predergast is working on a Michele Bachmann comic book. By the way, I still haven't determined whether that "Liberality" comic featuring Hannity and G. Gordon Liddy is a...
