We are clearly watching a schism in the GOP. However, all the air is being sucked out of the room by the dittoheads. Nobody is noticing the growing community of disenfranchised, but smart, principled GOPers, who are a formidable bunch if you start to assemble them.

I think today's great news about expanding stem cell research should be used to further fan flames on the Rush/GOP divide. Recall that stem cell research is Michael J. Fox's signature issue. Recall Rush mocking Michael J. Fox in perhaps one of the most immature, disgusting displays this side of junior high. Recall that Americans overwhelming support stem cell research.

the Pittsburgh Steelers are the ass-kickingest franchise in the history of sports, and I'd like to put a Cleveland Browns jersey on Rush Limbaugh and hand him a football at the Steelers practice facility and use him as a tackling dummy every day forever

I just listened to two McCain surrogates on MSNBC (Fiorina on Gregory's show, another woman on Matthews), and both were asked in what way the "fundamentals of the economy" are strong. They both claimed that "worker productivity" was the particular "fundamental" that was "strong" and that "you can't blame the American worker for these problems."

Take that Al Qaeda! I have little difficulty believing Al Qaeda is merely an arm of OPEC, used to terrorize us into gulping down oil. From 9/11 to Madrid to London, note how each incident targetted mass transit. Why take a scary flight when you can drive? Why take the scary train or subway when you can drive your own individual vehicle?

There's an interesting note buried in this NYTimes article http://www.nytimes.com/... that, thanks to Bush's fundraising efforts, McCain/RNC has more cash on hand than Obama/DNC.

It doesn't matter which candidate can claim most states won, pledged delegates or popular vote. As we've heard time and again, it's like suggesting it matters in an NFL game who will wind up ahead on total yardage, red-zone scoring, and turnover differential -- excellent outcome predictors usually -- when one team will clearly end up with more points.

No - the Pats are a classy bunch and realize there's only one metric that counts, and the Giants are the best team from '07, fair and square

Yes - the Pats are a bunch of conniving cheaters and would happily use any metric other than the actual score if they could

Bryant Gumbel reports on this week's Real Sports on HBO that b-ballers break for Obama (Obama was his guest - talked about replacing the White House bowling lane with an indoor hoop).

It's hard to find another way to say why I support Barack Obama for president, when it's said in so many wonderful ways every day on this site and elsewhere, but I think I've put my finger on something in watching the debate tonight on MSNBC.
