After what may have been a slow down due to nervous exhastion after the November elections, Mark seems to be back in form. Steyn Rules!

"Bush, the World's Biggest Moron, somehow managed to steal another election. That makes three in a row. The GOP's obviously getting better at it."

LOL. This is one of the better ones from Steyn, which makes it magnificent.

I got about half-way through the article when I thought, "This sounds very similar to Steyn", and lo and behold! Another home run by the Steynmeister!

A Democrat chum said to me on Thursday, oh, well, they're just doing this to toss a bone to the base. But they're running out of bones to toss, and the base needs a reality check, not more pandering

Simple, beautiful truth from Mary Steyn.

- For the most part, the press now fulfill the same function for the party that kindly nurses do at the madhouse; if the guy thinks he's Napoleon, just smile affably and ask him how Waterloo's going.-

Great line.

It's not that Democrats don't count, it's that they CAN'T count.

"Democrats' votes are vanishing because Democrat voters are vanishing because Democrat intellectual energy has all but vanished."

A weekly trip or so to DU easily reinforces that fact! This guy is great. I've not read much of him, but he's bookmarked now. Thanks! :)

What it underscores is that the Democrats are losers.

I always enjoy starting the day by reading something inspiring...

So they were wearing orange, the color of the election protesters in Ukraine.

Yes, but in their case orange signifies criminals!

Two plausible parties are necessary for a functioning democracy, especially in war, especially in a long war which will inevitably have to be fought by presidents both Republican and Democrat... And, as for ideas, when was the last time you heard a fresh policy from a Democrat? The serious arguments about war, social security, immigration and pretty much everything else are all within factions of the right. The Democrats' only contribution is to insist that someone in Halliburton has figured out a way to get the touch-screen voting machines to make Democrats' votes vanish. Democrats' votes are vanishing because Democrat voters are vanishing because Democrat intellectual energy has all but vanished. Or as Republican Congresswoman Deborah Pryce summed up Thursday's Boxer rebellion: ''Their objection is a front for their lack of ideas.''

An absolutely key paragraph. The Democratic Party and 20th Century liberalism is completely spent. All of the good ideas of 20th Century liberalism have been adopted and gone mainstream. All the bad ideas have been rejected. There is nothing left for them to run on and little hope of reform. My prediction would be that the Democratic party essentially stops being a national party by the middle of the next decade and that the Republican party splits.

But I'm beginning to wonder if Karl Rove didn't manage to slip something into the whine cellar at Democratic headquarters.

Leftist Black America on parade this week showed itsself to be a living joke.

The players have lost thier roles and are being relegated to a filing cabinet for old scripts.
