Your one stop pundit shop.
Jonathan Capehart has had it with stupid arguments against gays serving in the military:
Sirs, gay men and lesbians are serving in the United States military right now. They wear the uniform because, to paraphrase paragraph 5 of Section 654 of U.S. Code Title 10, they want "to make extraordinary sacrifices, including the ultimate sacrifice, in order to provide for the common defense." They wear the uniform because they want to defend the ideals, laws and values of the United States against all enemies. They wear the uniform because they love their country.
Gail Collins gives her two cents on taxes and tea parties.
George Will offers fashion advice; don't wear jeans because Fred Astaire wouldn't, and:
Today it is silly for Americans whose closest approximation of physical labor consists of loading their bags of clubs into golf carts to go around in public dressed for driving steers up the Chisholm Trail to the railhead in Abilene.
What a dumbass.
Roger Cohen delivers an important message in a story about a man needing to use the bathroom.
Anthony S. Fauci discusses:
... three bold new approaches to controlling the HIV/AIDS pandemic are being discussed by those working in medicine and public health. These approaches are still in the conceptual and testing phases, but if applied as a group, it's possible they could have a dramatic effect.
Karl Rove thinks (ha!) that the hundred or so thousand people that gathered yesterday, out of the three-hundred or so million people in the country, is bad news for the Democrats.
Michelle Malkin spews idiotic paranoia about a Department of Homeland Security report, ignoring that it was ordered a year ago by the Bush administration.
Joe Klein takes on the "world's stupidest argument":
Bush flunkies trying to argue that Obama is more polarizing than Bush was. Given the fact that Obama had to take dramatic action, at home and abroad, to start lifting the country from the mess Bush made almost everywhere--and also begin to turn the country away from the myopia and greed of the Reagan era--it's amazing that he hasn't raised more dust or teabags. And, I should add the fact that the alleged polarization mostly results from the fact that Obama gets extremely low ratings from self-identified Republicans, who constitute an extremist shard of a party at this point, is a badge of honor. (Commenter sgwhiteinfla points out that the polarization is also the result of overwhelming--88%--support from Democrats.)
In the long run, it's a safe historical bet that Bush will prove more polarizing than Obama because he was such an abject failure in the job--I doubt we'll ever see Obama submerge to approval ratings in the mid-20s, or launch wars peremptorily without cause or purpose. The constant sniping from Rove, Wehner and the others during Obama's first 100 days is a deeply neurotic reaction to the enormity of their own cockups in office. It shows a profound lack of class or grace, but then, that's no surprise with these guys, is it? They ran the country like thugs, and thugs they remain.
Cal Thomas praises Barack Obama. It's kind of snotty and back-handed, but still ...
