I'm sick and tired of seeing, day after day, diaries from Obamaloves and Obamahates being at the top of the recommended list.

JUST STOP RECOMMENDING THIS CRAP!

They uniformly lack solutions, but are filled with attacks against this, that or the other wing of the Democratic Party.

Time for a break!

It's time for diaries that present real solutions and pose serious questions from calmer voices.

Questions and solutions, such as:

I can't make this stuff up!

The WGA comedy writers may be on strike, but that doesn't prevent Voice of America from employing scabs because you won't see a funnier headline than this (from Google news top stories screen capture):

Image includes Bernard Kerik as Dr. Evil and Michael Chertoff as Mini-Me. An appropriate casting for Chertoff since he was originally hired as a prosecutor by Giuliani when Rudy was the U.S. Attorney for Manhattan.

Yesterday, the Gray Lady published an op-ed online, This Is Your Brain on Politics, written by seven researchers for the results of a study based on MRIs of swing voters. The researchers conclusions are based upon the results of 20 test subjects evenly divided between men and women. The article presents their conclusions in this extensive study "to reveal some voter impressions on which this election may well turn." Accompanying the article, there is a multimedia slide show with the same title, This Is Your Brain on Politics, which contains 8 slides (although the slideshow claims to have 9, selecting next from the 8th gives the previous slide with a popup for the same slide with popup to return to the 1st slide).

John McCain's stance regarding torture and waterboarding is well known.

Recently, Giuliani said the following in response to the question, "Do you think waterboarding is torture?":

Well, I’m not sure it is either. I’m not sure it is either. It depends on how it’s done. It depends on the circumstances. It depends on who does it.

Now, Rudy claims hero worship from McCain after criticism of his BFF Bernard Kerik:

"I have 20 quotes from John since all these things started, where John described me as a hero," Giuliani told reporters. "I suspect that's John's real judgment."

Presented in the wake of the launch of The Bernard Kerik Legal Defense Trust and Giulaini's laughable and demonstrably false "blame game" claim:

"Our military is too small to deal with the Islamic terrorism threats, but it really is too small to deter would-be aggressors to even think of challenging us. And that's due to Bill Clinton."

Once again, Glenn Greenwald concisely presents another failure of the Democratic controlled congress.

What happened to the Senate's "60-vote requirement"?:

Every time Congressional Democrats failed this year to stop the Bush administration (i.e., every time they "tried"), the excuse they gave was that they "need 60 votes in the Senate" in order to get anything done. Each time Senate Republicans blocked Democratic legislation, the media helpfully explained not that Republicans were obstructing via filibuster, but rather that, in the Senate, there is a general "60-vote requirement" for everything.

Greenwald asks for an explanation on how the Senate could confirm Mukasey on a 53-40 vote after the excuses from Senate Democrats on votes regarding Iraq (and immigration and warrantless surveillance).

Bye Bye Bernie
I'm gonna miss you so;
Bye Bye Bernie,
Why'd you have to go?
No more sunshine,
It's followed you away;
I'll cry Bernie,
Till you're home to stay.
I'll miss the way you smile,
As tho' it's just for me;
And each and ev'ry night,
I'll write you faithfully!
Bye Bye Bernie,
It's awful hard to bear;
Bye Bye Bernie
Think I'll always care,
Guess I'll always care,
Guess I'll always care!

In todays New York Times, "mock columnist" Maureen Dowd turned her column over to Stephen Colbert. The NYT should consider making it a permanent replacement.

A Mock Columnist, Amok (from Dowd's intro):

I called Colbert with a dare: if he thought it was so easy to be a Times Op-Ed pundit, he should try it. He came right over. In a moment of weakness, I had staged a coup d’moi. I just hope he leaves at some point. He’s typing and drinking and threatening to "shave Paul Krugman with a broken bottle."

Some highlights from Colbert's I Am an Op-Ed Columnist (And So Can You!):
