Why won't they be bipartisan, like us? Like President Obama?

You know who I mean.

She quit because she owes $500,000.00 in legal fees, is why she quit. It's the only way the numbers work out.

Remember Pleasure Island, from Pinocchio? On Pleasure Island a boy can smoke, drink, eat all the candy and ice cream and break all the windows he wants to. After that, he is turned into a pack mule. Moral: Act like an animal and you may become one. Okay, it's not a very subtle moral, but it's a moral for six-year-old boys, and when I was a six-year-old boy, my idea of subtle was an armpit fart.

So let's get this straight. The Senate doesn't want to close Gitmo.

It's true! Obama had a dinner party at George Will's house! I followed him there and I was going to sneak up on the roof and lower a microphone down the Will chimney; but Mr. Will's bushes are so neatly manicured even in January that I was spotted right away. Fortunately I was able to slip the bug into the Secret Service man's coat pocket as he wrestled me to the immaculately mowed lawn. The Secret Service man did not return to the Will house for an hour, so all we have is what happened after the President-Elect left. I apologize, but it is better than nothing.

I voted without incident around 7:00 A.M. EST. When I got back to the car I noticed the gas gauge was bouncing on empty. So I drove a few blocks to the filling station, where something happened that made my day.

I was furious when I saw this article--along at first, anyway. The Times capitulates again, the wimps! They don't think anything of Obama as a debater! They love McCain! Of course they really don't, but they wrote this to beg McCain's pardon for offending him in that stupid conference call!

But then I re-read the article, and it seemed different. It makes very good points--that Obama is too professorial in a debate, that he floats like a butterfly just fine but the bee part needs work, and that McCain doesn't hesitate to whip out the shiv (their very word) and that McCain knows how to use it and enjoys using it.

Anyway, I concluded the Times is doing some coaching.

And you know why?

Because they might not have been in the tank for Obama before, but they are now.

About six years ago, Stephen King published a very smart novel called From a Buick Eight. A guy shows up in a car, and nobody knows where he's from. He leaves the car behind, and the car turns out to be this alien machine that eats everybody.

I like the book because it shows King's perfect instinct for what scares people. Place is character, and if you're from noplace, well, you could be a monster from out there who sucks people into man-eating cars.

For us at the Washington Post there can be no greater thrill than the upcoming spectacle of Senator Barack Obama's upcoming visit to Iraq, Afghanistan, and various other places he has never been and does not know the language. The spotlight is upon him now and the chips are down and every tiny little thing he says must be nuanced exactly right, or it will prove to all the world that he is no better than a newbie in a Usenet group getting flamed until he says stuff about Hitler. We do not expect the Senator to do this, of course, but still. Here are only a few of the things that could go wrong.

$52 million my sound like a lot of money to the uneducated layman. To experienced analysts here at the Washington Post, such as myself, however, the number is just one of many numbers, such as a billion or a trillion. Seen in that context, the June fundraising figures trumpeted by the Obama campaign aren't so impressive. In fact, they are pretty ordinary. Bear with me while I do the math.

The New Yorker has stepped in it this time. They think this cover is "satire." They say so.

The thing about satire is, it has to hit and hurt the intended target. It has to make the target scream in pain with the cruel unfairness of it (because it's true). The New Yorker cover doesn't do that. It doesn't even tell you who the target is. The magazine says the target is bad people who spread bad lies about Obama, but if you have to go explaining a joke, you probably shouldn't have told it.
