Agreed with Will

Divided government. Hope we get it.

And, oddly, it's the fairest liberal site out there

Jeralyn Merritt briefly discusses the rules at TalkLeft:

There's a limit on those that express opposition to the Democratic ticket and support of the Republican ticket...You are welcome to express your different opinion, up to four times a day. I think that's more than reasonable.

The issue is not whether the policy is reasonable. If you own your own blog, you can allow or disallow whatever you want. It's just a little...pathetic.

Nonetheless, TalkLeft is one of the fairest partisan Democrat sites out there. A lot of partisan Republican sites could learn a lesson from it.

I guess that rules out McCain and Obama

Be a constitution voter!

Jeralyn, in the comments:

[W]hose policies better support it? Who will be worse for the Constitutional rights and values? It's not even close.

This is where I split with liberals. I do not see the right to have an abortion and the right to free health care in the Constitution. Whether or not those things are good ideas are separate issues.

Snark of the week

Billy Beck: "What...was Nuremberg booked that week?"

Fits this blog's theme well.

Whore.

And I sincerely mean that. I hope they take your house first, although I imagine your connections would never allow that to happen. Lucky you.

Favorite Franklin quote

Mine is, "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." But I don't see you guys throwing that one around.

Amateur

Susan Sarandon threatens to leave if McCain wins:

“If McCain gets in, it’s going to be very, very dangerous,” she says.

“It’s a critical time, but I have faith in the American people. If they prove me wrong, I’ll be checking out a move to Italy. Maybe Canada, I don’t know. We’re at an abyss.”

Pansy. I can beat that. If McCain, Obama, or Clinton wins, I'll leave the country.

Thanks, Libertas.
