I Have to Disagree With Lanny Davis On This

He says:

ABC News' Jennifer Parker reports: A longtime friend of Sen. Hillary Clinton said it's "incomprehensible" that Sen. Barack Obama would choose another woman to be his vice-presidential candidate over Sen. Hillary Clinton.

"The selection of either one of those instead of Sen. Clinton I would find completely incomprehensible," said Lanny Davis of rumored Obama vice-presidential contenders Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill.

There is a clear, if perhaps minor, reason to select of these two as a candidate over Hillary Clinton - it greatly reduces the chances that we will continue to see Lanny Davis in any kind of public forum in the future. If there's ever been a political never-was masquerading as a has-been in his pursuit to become somebody remotely important, it's Davis.

May bird turds rain from the sky on the suits of executives that make decisions giving news priority or value to anything Lanny Davis does.

I Found Waldo Again

Ironically, a man who makes his living spewing words denigrates the spoken version as "just a speech". What has Richard Cohen done beyond turn into a cartoon character?

If I were God, I think I'd set aside a day where every bird within a 25 mile radius of Cohen took a dump on him. Of course, that might be difficult, considering there may be ostriches and emus at the local zoo, but heck, if I were God, I'd try to swing it anyways.

Stories from The Harrisburg Patriot-News

Seriously, the Patriot should email this page out every day, with live links, to anyone that wants it. At the very least, for anyone with a paid subscription.

Stay Off The Streets

Any article premise that suggests that something could actually be better with a few more Robert Novaks makes it near impossible to read the article. I can only assume that Jonathan Martin means that the GOP needs more Robert Novaks, the drivers, to run down Democratic voters.

I Am Legend

We finally got around to watching the NetFlix-sent "I Am Legend" a few nights ago.

I think the best analogy is watching a mile race. An underdog runner comes from nowhere to lead the pack by a large distance, running at a pace that would be a new world record. In the middle of the final lap, however, the runner slows, dramatically, and then the other runners begin to pass the early leader, and finally the leader stops running and walks into the stands and eats a hot dog, never finishing the race.

85% of a great movie is still a bad movie if you paste an "and it all worked out after all" at the end.

Of course, we didn't watch the alternative ending (didn't even think of doing so) that was apparently on the DVD. I did watch it online yesterday, and am stunned that the producers didn't select it instead. Much, much better.

Fashion and Trendiness

Cartoon characters should probably keep their mouths closed about such topics. Oh, and I found Waldo, but time has not been kind.

Door-to-Door Magazine Sales

Sounds like a profession that should get a television show like trucking does with Ice Truckers.

I wonder what percentage of new subscriptions for magazines such as Time, Newsweek, and Forbes come from such crew sales. Is there anything less enjoyable to open your door to than two cigarette-perfumed magazine sales people that give you the immediate sense that they'll say ANYTHING to get you to buy some magazines?

Avatar

Note to Nickelodeon - we were unable to watch the Season 3 finale to Avatar, the Last Airbender, and the kids (AND I) want to see the final four episodes. We have truly enjoyed Avatar and we want to see this final episode. I don't see it on Nick's schedule this week - c'mon, quit holding out!

And it doesn't help to see so many bloggers say it was the coolest show, ever.
