Stop the Demogoguery Hugh!

Posted August 17, 2006 - 10:39pm by Will Hinton

So I am reading Hugh Hewitt's blog tonight and come upon a post about today's court decision regarding warrentless surveillance. After a legal analysis of the decision, Hugh throws out the usual conservative talking points:

"Rather, the judge has triggered another great moment of clarity about the Ned Lamont Democrats (and the Jon Tester Democrats in Montana, the Debbie Stabenow Democrats in Michigan, the Maria Cantwell Democrats in Washington State, the Sherrod Brown Democrats in Ohio etc etc.)  Judge Anna Diggs Taylor is a Jimmy Carter appointee, and so she's even given us a twofer today:  Illustrating the vast dangers of liberals running national security, and the lasting impact of liberal presidents on national security."

I'll Have the Good Music, Hold the Politics

I recently read one of the silliest journalistic exercises I have ever seen. In the current issue of National Review, John J. Miller writes about the "50 Greatest Conservative Rock Songs". Some of the selections include "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who, "Taxman" by the Beatles, and "Don't Tread on Me" by Metallica.

The Genius of Wes Anderson

This post is way overdue, especially considering the title of my old blog. But I am prompted by my recent obsessive watching of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I just bought the DVD last week and have watched it at least 10 times already. Though I don't think that I will ever catch up with the screenings of Bottle Rocket - it is surely over 100 times by now.
