…I’m looking all over the web this morning and I don’t see a thing on TV or that is of the least bit interesting. The Number #1 story on memorandum is Sullivan attacking Glenn Reynolds as a racist for daring to blow up (not even photoshop) an image in the White House Flicker basket.

Expect Charles Johnson to follow shortly, what has happened to those halcyon days of the four of the Ablogalypse?

Those happy days of 2003

Den Beste’s USS Clueless one of the best blogs there has ever been is gone replaced by chizumatic. Sullivan’s and Johnson’s decent into Bloggers Alzheimer’s has been well documented

Only Reynolds remains unchanging, as he was death it seems quite appropriate.

My thought on this; were stamps really 32 cents in 2003?

Update: Here is a question: Who would be the four horsemen today? I say Robert Stacy, Michelle Malkin and the Captain would join Glenn. (Ed Morrissey will always be the Captain to me).

Update 2: You know there must be a written rule that I can only get an Instalanche when I’m asleep or haven’t been looking at my computer. Welcome all and take a look around, there wasn’t much going on today or yesterday due to the annual open house, but see my review of the End of Time part 2, Learn why Babe Ruth is greater than Aaron, Williams and Bonds, Get caught up in the Johnson wars if you wish, take up the green man’s burden, and don’t forget to come back on the weekends for links to my Amazon reviews of everything from games, to movies, to Doctor Who audios.

Update 3: And go visit Peg as well, I owe her, she was banned for me.

Update 4: Time for a poll to select the new Horsemen

Update 5: You know you’ve made it when Althouse links, now if I can just turn this into 40k a year somehow I’ll be all set.

…but my departure from the democratic party was just a few months ahead of his.

I supported Paul Tsongas, one of the most honest men in politics. He was substance Clinton was fun at parties but was as phony as a $3 bill.

The embrace of Bill Clinton was one of the worst decisions the party ever made. In 1998 the democrats had the same choice that the Republicans had in 1974. Unlike the republicans who splintered on this, the Democrats held solid in their choice. It was very sad.

I saw what Clinton and Clintonism was before he did but either way it happened we have made it here.

Nixon/China, Obama/DC Vouchers

The saying is “Only Nixon could go to China”.

Apparently only Obama can kill the DC Vouchers program.

You see if a white president was in charge then democrats might be subject to charges of racism, of oppressing black children to appease the teachers union.

But since our president has the proper skin tone he can allow his fellow Democrats to do this and it has nothing to do with race.

Much like inner city violence, gang violence, drugs, the slaughter and destruction of Black communities, it is ignored because it is being done by people of the same skin color and being run like political fiefdoms. As long as those fiefdoms provide the votes by (maybe buy) hook or crook all is well. And any attempt to make change, then those who are supported financially by said fiefdom scream bloody murder and racism.

And how will our media treat this? The exact opposite of how they treated Macaca.

In my opinion well meaning liberal programs have dome more to effectively re-segregate and re-create the old plantation system or maybe more the old sharecropper system than anything even the most ardent supporter of Jim Crow could have dreamed of. Take a look at colleges and high schools and see how segregated they are.

Moe Green says this:

You know, there’s a part of me that would almost prefer that this was evidence of some sort of long term payback – one that would have been in the works for about 150 years at this point – against African-Americans by the Democratic party. At least that would be a reason to wreck school choice. It would be a conscious decision. Instead, though, I’m faced with the tawdry reality that the Democratic Party simply just doesn’t care.

Maybe there is.

I’m with Surber on this one

but you would have guessed that wouldn’t you?

I guess he is having that same regeneration vision that I was having…
