Krugman having a “long planned” fainting spell. George Soros joining a monastery. Liberal bloggers holding out the tin cup. It’s been a wonderful week, hasn’t it?

Pardon my French, but god damn this week has been fun!

Excellent article.

Seems the democrats are good at making "threats" of what they will do if kerry were to loose, but none are willing to stick to those "threats". Oh, but if they would.

Thought: on moore going to a monastary .... is there one large enough to accomodate him?

"We need to figure out just what our ideas and message are..."

That line demonstrates another major difference between Conservatives and Liberals. Conservatives understand what their message is and use the media and the political process to disseminate that message. Liberals merely wish to be in power and to have influence. If only they could figure out what their ideas actually are.

Regular readers won’t be in any doubt about who I want to win, though New York Times rules prevent me from giving any explicit endorsement. (Hint: it’s the side that benefits from large turnout.)

I guess he voted for BUSH!

I'm still giddy, with all of the good news for America (Arafat assuming room temp, Jobs UP, Dow UP, LIBS down, Fallujah about to be wiped clean) which is bad news for the DIMs.

Yes, all wonderful, except I don't consider a leftist writing an economics textbook to be a harmless activity.

Perhaps the best since Carter's defeat.

I gave Krugman's implosion an 8 out of ten. It really only merited a five for whiny content, but Krugman saying that he won't be inflicting a column upon the world boosted the score a solid three points.

I think we need to give a big shout out to Al Gore for inventing the Internet. Without him, this week would not have been possible!

An excellent point. The dems are getting "Bluster" training from the likes of Kim-Jong and his other buddies in the axis of evil. "I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that". Phoooie. Just a bunch of empty rhetoric. And they wonder how they got where they are.

"Stupid is as Stupid does."

I'm stunned that this is now so completely obvious. Must be the Clinton Legacy.

A vote of profound and heartfelt THANKS to Michael Moore, who sucked literally millions of dollars out of the Democratic party.

We also owe a big "Thanks!" to the unnamed heckler who gave us one of the defining phrases of Kerry's demise:

The heckler pressed, and Kerry, losing patience, fell into senatorial procedural shorthand. "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it," he said.

Krugman is such a smug pompous know it all windbag. I LOVE that Bush crushed Kerry with turnout.

His article today states: " blue states, on average, have lower rates of out-of-wedlock births than red states."

My question: If he believes OOW pregnancy is a bad thing.. he still misses the point that lower rates of OOW births might be the result of aborted OOW conceptions. He needs a math lesson too!

I'm reminded of the kind advice to liberals from Iowahawk:

"Next, you've got to stop all this crazy talk about 'suicide' and 'that's it, I'm moving to Canada.' C'mon people, just stop it!. Why? Because you are Americans too, and Americans are known for action, that's why! If you ever expect other Americans to treat you as a serious political force, you've got to get up off your duff, can all that jibber-jabber, and get cracking on the U-Hauls and tragic carbon-monoxide incidents, Mister Big Talk."

You got to love it.....Millions and millions wasted by the lamestream left.......Left wing papers are losing readers, biased networks in a tailspin, evil billionaires losing millions on propaganda and hate filled film makers being discredited!

We knocked the liars, cheaters and givers of misinformation out of the ball park...but beware, they will lick their wounds and be back for more. Enjoy your victory week. The ground game starts again on Monday!

Excellent before/after juxtaposition. I Loved this....

...... thanks to a heavy turnout by evangelical Christians, Mr. Bush has four more years to advance that radical agenda.
