Equal time for Huckafrudy. Call it the seldom-alluded-to context missing from Hilarity’s "campaign."

The Left’s take

Funny, yes, but it isn’t really this bad. Besides, would you rather have choices, or Hilabama, the Democrat’s PC circus–liberal or more liberal? As if gender or melanin really were the main issues.

UPDATE:  Make that Huckarudy, as Fred has withdrawn, as expected, after his third in SC.

Bush’s little dig

Posted on January 25, 2007 | Comments Off on Bush’s little dig

Dropping the "i" and the "c" at the end of the Democrat Party’s preferred pronunciation and spelling, as Democratic, is an old Republican Party move. It riles the Dems something fierce–who seem to think they have a special right to be considered small ‘d’ democratic–and Bush employed it in his State of the Union speech, whether on purpose or simply out of habit.

"The president’s pronunciation was all the more striking because it was apparently not what Bush was supposed to say. The prepared speech that the White House distributed beforehand retained that precious ‘-ic.’"

Precious? Isn’t that precious.

UPDATE  Welcome readers of CBS News blogger Melissa P. McNamara, who linked to this entry this morning, Jan. 31. While you’re here, look around. Although, if you’re expecting a liberal blog, which McNamara indicated this is, you’re going to be disappointed. Except on a few issues, such as gays and abortion, this really isn’t a liberal blog, at all. Rather conservative in most ways.

Ann Richards, R.I.P.

Posted on September 14, 2006 | Comments Off on Ann Richards, R.I.P.

"’I did not want my tombstone to read, ‘She kept a really clean house.’ I think I’d like them to remember me by saying, ‘She opened government to everyone,’" Richards said shortly before leaving office in January 1995."

Yet, in her support of the death penalty and a few other ways, she may also have been one of the last conservative Texas Democrats. 

UPDATE And on it goes, days of Texas news media stories about her and the state funeral to come.
