For those in need of a little something to de-crapify the atmosphere, I give you Uncle Jim on the UN.
My position is that the UN is measurable better than no UN, albeit not by much.

Is The Kennedy Brand In Trouble?
by Smitty
Kathryn Jean Lopez has a lengthy article about John Loughlin, a Senate rival for the peoples’ seat currently warmed by Patrick “I do non-standard things with cars, too” Kennedy.
I get this crazy feeling that the résumé and the memoir may loom large for the PK.
Out With The Sad, In With The Mad
by Smitty
Daniel Foster at NRO notes the Politico’s article about the decay of the laugh track at Robert Gibbs’ pres floggingsbriefings.
Instapundit notes speculation about the hiring of Keith Olbermann as a replacement.
It would be a case study in Comparative Contempt to have Press Secretary stints from the both.
Notes From A Dream In Which I Was An Idiot
by Smitty
Halifax, Nova Scotia could need to rebuild the whole waterfront, if a new study floating the possibility of a 2 1/3 foot rise in ocean levels pans out. The really dreamy part was how the ocean picked up all the swelling in Eastern Canada only, while the rest of Mother Earth wobbled about her axis as usual.

The unflappable Ron Paul has been sporting camel hair and partaking of locusts and wild honey for nearly four decades now. Everyone ought to lay hands on End the Fed and see what dedication to a real cause looks like. Continue reading End The Godforsaken Fed →
Idiot Liberal Woman Eve Ensler Thinks Global Warming Causes Earthquakes
The “Vagina Monologues” author was putting down Sarah Palin on Joy Behar’s show:
ENSLER: Well, I just think the idea that she doesn’t believe in global warming is bizarre.

ENSLER: And I think we just kind of have to walk around the world at this point and look at what is happening to nature and earthquakes and tsunamis.
BEHAR: Right
Exit question: Is “idiot liberal” redundant?
Jim Treacher, Goldbricking Again
Goofing off. Slacking. Like a “broken tibia” is some kind of excuse or something . . .
Welcome to Washington, Treacher. This is the big leagues, OK? You’ve got to learn to play with pain. Would Bob Novak let a minor thing like a fractured tibia keep him away from the office? Hell no.
If you can’t handle getting run over by State Department Security Service every so often, maybe you’d better go back to Indianapolis.
You Probably Don’t Want to Watch a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Video
I’m not sure why Steve Bartin at NewsAlert would link this. It’s not like swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker is particularly attractive or anything.
So, obviously, if you don’t want to watch that boring video, you don’t care about the cover of Sports Illustrated‘s swimsuit edition.
Boring! Might as well blog about politics or something . . .
Update: (Smitty) American Power ‘lanche!
