Just in case you ever had the smallest doubt that Alan Keyes is a complete and total nutjob, I present to you this amazing video…

In it, Mr. Keyes claims that “the person you call ‘president’ Obama” is not really the president of the United States, and certainly not the commander-in-chief, and the military should stop obeying him.

But the best part is when the guy who is asking the questions starts laughing and Alan Keyes says “this is no laughing matter”.

FYI: It is. It really, really is.

Update: A reader rightly points out that Keyes is perpetuating [...]

This is an interesting thought experiment. What if NOBODY sought the ODP endorsement for Senate in 2010? ModernEsquire calls on each candidate in the race and those who may enter to NOT seek the endorsement so that Chairmain Redfern can keep his pledge to remain neutral. Modern also echoes this at Ohio Daily. Tim @bloggerinterrupted chimes in as well.

Sounds like pretty great news for Jennifer Brunner.

It turns out California isn’t he only state with an actor at the helm.

The problem with this is, not one of the governors is serious. It’s all a big show. A big act. They say they don’t want [...]

I know Brian already wrote about this, but I thought I’d add my take on it…

When Fox News interviews the teenager daughter of popular conservative Republican no one expects to hear any difficult questions or any questions about ‘touchy’ subjects.

And, for the most part, Greta Van Susteren’s interview of Bristol Palin pretty much met those expectations – with the exception of one question about why Bristol didn’t use contraception when she had sex with her boyfriend: “Is that something that you were just lazy about or not interested, or do you have philosophical or religious opposition to [...]
