Cesca's another of these blog-journalists who really, really wants the gonzo mantle of Hunter S Thompson. Cesca scribbles a sort of sportswriter on meth prose as HS Thompson did, though tamer, and...

Racist Drug Addicts On The Radio
Will the very serious White House press corp badger President Bush and Dana Perino about this... (DRUDGE) President George W. Bush, former president George H.W. Bush and former Florida governor Jeb...
Obama-Clark '08
I agree with Digby about General Clark. Of all the names being tossed around, he or Governor Sebelius are the best options. And I don't think his statement about Senator McCain will be much of a...
The Barbecue Race Card
On Morning Joe, Joe and Mika are just laying into Senator McCaskill about Senator Obama "playing the race card." Yessir. As I wrote yesterday on the Huffington Post, here's a perfect example of the...
Big McOil
Via Think Progress: In Texas alone, June oil and gas-connected donations to McCain’s Victory ’08 Fund, his hybrid fundraising venture with the RNC and state committees, reached $1,214,100. Of that...
McBush: Not A Tech Freak
"Am I a tech freak? No," he said in an interview Monday with The Chronicle. "And I don't like to text message because I'd rather call somebody on the telephone." I wonder how many times he grabbed a...
Morning Awesome
Meat Loaf - "The Monster Is Loose" I directed this one.

This week... One of us! One of us! One of us!
It Can't Be Governor Kaine
Via C&L: Yesterday on WTOP’s “Ask the Governor” hour, Governor Kaine said that he opposed using taxpayer money for embryonic stem cell research. Kaine said that he believed “there are huge...
Thanks for the Record Profits, America!
Despite the rotting economy, Exxon-Mobil posted its largest profit margin ever. $11.6 billion. And McCain wants to give them a free pass to drill more. What a sad little man.
Britney Ad Reaction
"diminishes John McCain." "enough." "childish." "this tomfoolery needs to stop." Pro-Obama liberal blogger? Nope. Senator McCain's close friend and former campaign advisor John Weaver.
Morning Awesome
Elvis Costello and Beastie Boys - "Radio Radio" (I pulled a change-up. Dropped the original MA and added this one.)
Real Old
So I threw this together as a deliberately low-brow satirical response to the new Britney & Paris ad released by the McCain campaign. Enjoy.
Afternoon Awful
No excuse. None. And now the officer is blaming the cyclist. (h/t Drunk Cyclist)
Happy Falafel Day!
Blue Gal reminds us that July 30 is Falafel Day!
Messianic
Another word used on cable news this morning to describe Senator Obama -- and obviously not for the first time -- was "messianic." The barbecue media is all over this arrogant, cocky, presumptuous...
They're Imagining This
EDMONTON, Alberta — A chunk of ice spreading across seven square miles has broken off a Canadian ice shelf in the Arctic, scientists said Tuesday. No way. How could a liberal myth make an ice shelf...
McBush: Not An Elitist
But he wears $520 shoes. I wonder if the barbecue media will latch onto this like they did with Arugula-Gate and Bowling-Gate.
Britney and Paris In McCain Attack Ad
Nothing like running a respectable campaign, eh McBush? The new McCain campaign spot features super-fast clips of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton just before showing Senator Obama in what almost...
Aw Crap.
Chuck Todd mentioned on MSNBC that the Obama VP decision is down to Kaine, Biden and Bayh. To describe each: not awful, loudmouth and centrist hack.
