Apparently it wasn’t just the song “Orioles Magic,” but this video that was playing at Camden Yards today following the Orioles win (I watched the game on TV, didn’t see the video.) Anyway, it is kinda a must see…
New Orioles Magic video
I don’t know… they’re playing well, but more importantly, maybe these guys get [...]

Red Sox fans invaded Baltimore this week. It’s craziness… I went for a walk down to the harbor today and those friggin’ jerseys were everywhere. I’m guessing most of them came up from DC - when I lived down there, it seemed as though the Red Sox were the de facto home team. [...]

Endorsement should come at 7pm tonight. Well, if you could add Edwards’ 7% from West Virginia last night with Obama’s 26%, Obama would’ve only lost by 34%. Baby steps…

In non-West Virginia election news tonight, Democrat Travis Childers defeated Greg Davis in a special election in one of the most conservative districts in the nation - Mississippi’s 1st district. The victory follows the May 3rd election of a Democrat (Don Cazayoux) to a Congressional seat in an ultra-conservative Louisiana district. Maybe Thomas [...]

Before Clinton’s speech, Terry McAulliffe predicted it would be “one of the greatest speeches in the history of the universe.” McAulliffe is certainly the master of hyperbole — the greatest hyperbolitarian of all time.
The MSNBC team had some fun with it:
Mike Huckabee (serving as an MSNBC analyst for the night) speculated that she would [...]

Clinton (as expected) trounced Obama in West Virginia - like 2 -1 numbers. She just finished her victory speech, which wasn’t bad. She’s staying in the race, she knows Democrats will ultimately unite, she wants people to send money, Robert Byrd is a national treasure, etc…

What was it I wrote a while back about the comfort of old foes?
Better yet, how about that nugget of wisdom from Richard Nixon - the warning to the media following his defeat in the ‘62 California governor’s race that they wouldn’t “have Nixon to kick around anymore.”
Sure, there are always fun targets, things to [...]

Okay, it’s an old clip, and it really shouldn’t be all that surprising, given the subject. Still… when this video of Bill O’Reilly with Inside Edition exploding over something he didn’t understand on the teleprompter surfaced today, it was hard to turn away. I guess that’s why it’s been viewed something like half a million [...]

Back to the Eastern Shore, staying at the same Days Inn for the night. I swear, they stuck me in the same room as the last time, with the same view of the parking lot (which is made even better by the dreary weather outside… if I’m not mistaken, it’s now been raining since [...]

Let’s get one thing straight: the Democratic Leadership Council is not culturally conservative.
They’re pro-business, pro-free trade, anti-populist, and covet all that corporate money for Democrats. They’re spineless on national security issues, with the top leadership split pretty evenly between the hawks and the doves (the hawks usually win the DLC’s internal debate), and they’re [...]
