“ It’s sad to be lectured constantly by the Republicans on morality. My marriage, for example, is a sin, according to Republicans. And if you squint hard enough somewhere in the Bible, you can find a couple of verses that will say so. But you don’t have to squint hard at all to see the Ten Commandments. And one of them is pretty clear:
Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness
What we are seeing from the pious denizens of the Christianist right - once again - is not just their susceptibility to breaking this commandment, but their zeal and enthusiasm in doing so. They are obsessed with the sex lives of others but see nothing wrong with breaking one of the most fundamental moral instructions in the Bible thenmselves. A reader writes:
Thou Shalt Not Lie.
Anyone? Dobson? Romney? Hewitt? Anyone? Larry Craig?
I’m seriously losing count of the transparent frauds on the “Right.” This whole Palin bump/fiasco is like one last glow of the Rove movement before it goes boom in the night.
The other thing that comes to mind is lemmings. You’re right. People need to chill, take a step back, forget about the polls for a second, and understand that there is a historic implosion taking place right now. History will look back kindly on the canaries in the conservative coal mine. Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be many. The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

“ For me, the important thing is that [Obama and McCain] both attend movies and care about them. As I’ve written many times, the movies are an empathy machine, drawing us into other lives, allowing us to identify with those of other races, genders, occupations, religions, income levels or times in history. Good films enlarge us, and are a civilizing medium. Bad films narrow us. No films at all impoverishes us. There is a splendid projection room in the White House. I hope the next president uses it a lot.

“ I’ve said it before - months and months ago. I should say it again tonight. This is a remarkable man at a vital moment. America would be crazy to throw this opportunity away. America must not throw this opportunity away.

“ …you have Shia LaBoeuf swinging on vines through the jungle like Tarzan, followed by a swarm of monkeys with the same haircut as him — not only does that not look real, it looks effing ridiculous. Even more ridiculous — Indiana casually climbing out of a lead-lined refrigerator after it flies out of a nuclear mushroom cloud. Here’s a tip, Señor Spielbergo — if you can’t film it practically, don’t film it. If Jaws had been CGI, you’d still be making commercials for a living.

“ Poll workers in Indiana and North Carolina on Tuesday reported heavy turnout for two primaries that could be pivotal in the Democratic presidential nomination battle between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Haven’t they been saying that every primary was pivotal?
