Sure, they still might be one in a million, but that didn’t seem to discourage anyone in Dumb & Dumber.

Zombie!

In salute to Tony Kornheiser, who’s taking the Washington Post buy-out (reported by Fishbowl and Dan Steinberg and On Frozen Blog), we show again our favorite picture of the bald wonder:

Hillary Clinton has turned the corner.

Proof?

Two pieces of evidence.

1)  This assertion in her West Virginia victory speech last night:

“I am more determined than ever to carry on this campaign … This continues to be a hard-fought race.”

2)  Her new campaign speech writer, formerly of the Iraqi Information Ministry:

From today’s Yeas & Nays:

30:  Years the federal government has been administering its medical marijuana program, as of its anniversary on Saturday

4:  Number of patients it currently serves

We disagree with Jeremiah Wright, who presumably at one point in his life said something like, “Nah, nah, nah … don’t God bless West Virginia, God damn West Virginia.”

No, because of West Virginia we are blessed with assertions like Hillary Clinton’s:

Implying that the party could lose in November if he is the nominee, Clinton told patrons of Tudor’s Biscuit World in Charleston: “I keep telling people, no Democrat has won the White House since 1916 without winning West Virginia.”

So the question is, how long has Hillary been telling this to people, and when she does, do they give her any meds?  Maybe she needs a rubber biscuit.

Howard Kurtz, from Sunday’s “Reliable Sources”:

So you all seem to be acknowledging without quite saying it that there is something to the notion that Hillary Clinton has not been treated with exactly the greatest respect by the press. And let’s face it, I mean, there have been many times in this campaign — not in the last few weeks during the whole Jeremiah Wright controversy, for example — when, you know, to use one example of it, when journalists said, as Chris Matthews once did, that they’ve got to throw up their leg when Barack Obama speaks.

We hope journalists really aren’t vomiting their appendages. We hope we won’t soon see arms getting thrown up, as well. Gag me with a spoon, indeed.
Let’s simply assume this is what Kurtz was talking about …

The latest from Extreme Mortman’s exclusive Superdelegate Tracker, reporting live from the field:

Barack Obama 286; Hillary Clinton 275.

There are 193 named undecided superdelegates remaining, of which 21 are either prohibited
by DNC or state party rules from endorsing candidates prior to the convention or
are unlikely to endorse for political reasons (i.e. a House Frontline member).

NOTE: there are 44 superdelegates yet unnamed who will be selected by their state
conventions or state parties in the next month or so.

Forgive us for being late to this news, and please further forgive us if this punchline has already been done, but we just saw this…

… and we couldn’t be happier about this:

Yes, in this election, the steaks are high.

Meet the Stockdale, the Navy’s newest guided missile destroyer.

We learn:

The Navy’s newest guided missile destroyer was christened Saturday with the name of a fighter pilot who spent 7 1/2 years in captivity in North Vietnam, received the Medal of Honor and served as presidential candidate Ross Perot’s running mate.

Four Medal of Honor recipients and seven former prisoners of war attended the ceremony at Bath Iron Works that marked a milestone in construction of the 9,200-ton ship named for Vice Adm. James Stockdale….

Stockdale was a friend of author Tom Wolfe, who was fascinated by his research into Stoicism and was inspired to make the ancient philosophy a central theme of his 1998 best-seller, “A Man in Full,” Sidney Stockdale said.

After retiring from the Navy in 1979, James Stockdale served as president of The Citadel and later became a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
