Sarah Palin is a total wingnut :
"Pat Buchanan brought his conservative message of a smaller government and an America First foreign policy to Fairbanks and Wasilla on Friday as he continued a campaign swing through Alaska. Buchanan’s strong message championing states rights resonated with the roughly 85 people gathered for an Interior Republican luncheon in Fairbanks. ... Among those sporting Buchanan buttons were Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin and state Sen. Jerry Ward, R-Anchorage."
Palin is a total wingnut Buchannite, (check out what that means in practice) , but ran today on feminist themes. She is running as a reformer, but she is under investigation for ethics violations. She favored the bridge to nowhere , but is now running on opposing it. She called Clinton a whiner only a few months ago , but is now invoking her name to cheers. She is the least experienced Vice-Presidential pick in decades, but was chosen by a man who is arguing that his opponent i...

The Wall Street Journal ran a great article on those ‘other’ car manufacturers we have in the U.S. The takeaway :
These are the 12 “foreign,” or so-called transplant, producers making cars across America’s South and Midwest. Toyota, BMW, Kia and others now make 54% of the cars Americans buy. The internationals also employ some 113,000 Americans, compared with 239,000 at U.S.-owned carmakers, and several times that number indirectly.
The international car makers aren... more
Writes Pat Buchanan:
“Tactically, by sending a platoon of suicide warriors into India’s financial capital, terrorizing a train station, two five-star hotels and a Jewish center, and killing nearly 200 in over 60 hours, the plotters assured themselves of round-the-clock worldwide television coverage.
In so riveting the world’s attention for four days, this terrorist atrocity was a success.
And by using Pakistanis to perpetrate the massacres and Karachi as port of embarkatio... more
Michael Moore was on CNN arguing with Dr. Sanjay Gupta about Sicko, claiming that Americans shouldn’t be hurried along the path of bankruptcy and death because of a horrible health care system. Gupta argued that in Canada and England, people have to wait in line to die.
And after all, who wants to wait in line?

This past 4th of July, Boing Boing posted a patriotic report on how some movie-goers in Dallas turned their reel passion into real civic engagement after a screening of Sicko :
When the credits rolled the audience filed out and into the bathrooms. At the urinals, my redneck friend couldn’t stop talking about the film, and I kept listening. He struck up a conversation with a random black man in his 40s standing next to him, ... more
I’m doing a piece on strategies around impeachment that I’d like your help on. The gist of the piece is that there is no serious coalition behind impeachment, which means that relatively high pro-impeachment polling numbers and a series of illegitimate acts by the executive are not translating into a real political countermove. By contrast, the right worked since 1990 against Clinton, with a serious organized and well-funded coalition to delegitimize him and turn every po... more
