Maybe they'll just use "Boogle" or something so they can keep the same logo aesthetic.

My favorite blog won a Polk award

No, not this one, (it's not a blog).

This one - Talking Points Memo by Josh Marshall.

Tardy thoughts on the Texas debate

I listened to the debate (tonight, finally) on the way home from work; both candidates impressed me.

It was poignant to hear Hillary sound less like the strident candidate and more like the defeated one; a defeated one who knows she standing next to the next President.

I was surprised she threw him back into the plagiarism briar-patch. He tied her up and dropped the hammer, not good to be called "silly" and have the crowd go bonkers.

I like Hillary, I think she's one of the most formidable candidates we've had in decades, unfortunately for her she's running against the most electrifying one we've had in 50 years.

Her closing remarks were classy classy classy.

Obama worships the devil

Crap!

Ok, maybe this one.

In unrelated news, Liz is appearing as an extra in G.I. Joe. I hope her thumbs don't break off.

Chuck Schumer on MTP preparing us for the fact that the Clintons are willing to destroy the party to win

He said it about 19 different ways to answer similar versions of the same question,

Russert (paraphrasing), "Should the super-delegates decide the election or should it come down to the popular vote?"

Schumer (paraphrasing) "Fuck the popular vote"

My favorite,

Schumer, "How should the super-delegates vote? That's not the moral question, the moral question is can we beat the Republicans?"

For one thing, I don't think that's a moral question so much as a question question, for another, that is precisely the moral question.

This I swear to you, if The Clinton's pull-off some shenanigans* via the super-delegates or those delegates in Michigan and Florida, I'm out of the Democratic party.

Solution: Split the MI and FL delegates, split the super-delegates, and let it come down to the popular vote and elected delegates.

*pull-off some shenanigans = Obama wins the popular vote and exceeds HRC in elected delegates but still loses the nomination; if HRC wins it squarely, she has my support.

I hope Amy Winehouse doesn't die of a drug-overdose

Because man is she talented.

Democrat voters fall for the banana-in-the-tailpipe

"If I really wanted to torpedo McCain, I would endorse him," Limbaugh said on his radio show. "Because that would send the independents and liberals who are going to vote for him running away faster than anything."

Dooooohhh!!!!

I admit I completely bought Rush's antipathy toward McCain. Imagine my suprise when it was revealed to me that that's exactly what Rush wanted me to think!!
