What Might She Say Next?

Is That Where We’re Going?

Is this where we’re going?

Writing in the National Review, Pat Sajak (yep, he’s also a big time conservative) asks: should public employees really be allowed to vote?

Disenfranchisement of teachers, cops and fire fighters? Wow, who could disagree with such a great idea?

From the Debate

Hmmm. O’Donnell tells Coons US didn’t finish the job fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan and now has to finish the job.

You sort of get what she means but sounds like someone whose debate prep was a bit rushed.

Wisest Man in the State?

Our Ryan Reilly ran into Sen. Ted Kaufman on the Metro this evening. He’s the guy O’Donnell and Coons are fighting to replace. Wasn’t he interested in the debate, TPM asked? “No, I didn’t get a chance to see it, how’d it go?”

He Should Fit Right In

This article just out from the Anchorage Daily News suggests that Alaska Senate hopeful Joe Miller should fit right in in the tradition of clean-government Alaska congressional representation.

Got busted for using government property as part of his plan to unseat the state GOP party chairman back in 2008 while he was part time city attorney for Fairbanks North Star Borough. There’s also something weird in the story about his using multiple staffers’ computers for whatever he was trying to do unseat the incumbent chair, though the folks who caught him don’t seem to have figured out just what he was up to. Later he was set to be fired for an as yet undisclosed reason but resigned a few hours in advance of getting canned. The mayor of the borough at the time now says Miller has been “less than honest” about what happened.

Just Let It Go, Man

For his own sake, I hope Mike Castle didn’t watch last night’s debate.

The Truth Finally Wins Out

A billboard in Colorado shows four cartoon versions of President Obama: terrorist, gangster, bandito and gay man. Take a look.

That’s One Way To Look At It

Jon Stewart: Breaking news is to CNN what hemorrhoids are to Preparation H. Watch.

Should Cops & Teachers Be Able to Vote?

Wheel turner and card-carrying conservative Pat Sajak asks that question in his debut column in the National Review Online. Should public employees like fireman and cops and teachers be allowed to vote?

Is disenfranchisement of public employees an idea whose time has come?

If you didn’t know what a player Sajak is on the right, he’s actually a board member of the Claremont Institute, the right-wing think tank where Christine O’Donnell did a one week fellowship she later reported as attending the unaffiliated Claremont Graduate University.
