"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Hope and Change has proven a recipe for Dopes in Chains. Via Kruiser, a smart ad targeting the ladies by pointing out what an agent of decline Boxer has been:
Prayers for a swift recovery to Carly and a recovery of the senses for all Californians supporting Brown and Boxer.
I get tired of saying this, but we can’t let polls do our thinking for us. A Los Angeles Times poll appears to have oversampled Democrats, as Professor Donald Douglas explains at American Power.
Disinformation is the new objectivity.

Update: It looks like FilmLadd strikes again, this time reprising A Few Good Men. Before anyone gets all nitpicky about the smoking materials, your attention is drawn to this link, which implies that Nancy is OK with a blunt, as long as no one is dressed in S&M garb, not that I have personal experience of either, mind you.
Possibly I should feel bad about ripping the record of the Speaker of the House so badly on Twitter:
Indeed, as her car runs out of gas, and the battleship runs aground, and there are no rabbits remaining in the hat, and the other shoe drops, and the hotel is sold off of her end of Pennsylvania Avenue, and she’s forced to mortgage the property, and even sell it to some Chinese player, this Helpy Helperblog would like to suggest a consolation prize: Continue reading BUMPED: New Dennis Campaign Clip, Plus, Next House Located For Nancy →

Explaining why she has refused to debate her Republican challenger, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that raising money for Democratic candidates “across the country” is a higher priority for her.
A video posted at Republican John Dennis’s Web site, shows Pelosi being asked, “”Would you be open to debating your Republican opponent John Dennis in San Francisco?”
Pelso reponds: “Let me tell you what my priorities are. My priorities are to elect a Democratic Congress. In order to do that, it is essential for me – time is money for me. [Traveling] around this country, to amass the resources to put my candidates on TV. Whether I get a bigger majority or not in my district is not the point.”
Dennis first requested a debate with Pelosi a month ago, and recorded a humorous video about her refusal to debate:

Yeah, this could kind of wreck the class-warfare rhetoric Democrats usually roll out in their election campaigns:
California Democrat Rep. Jane Harman’s family business is laying off American workers – including engineering employees in California — and shifting jobs overseas.
A letter from the human resources director of one Harman company, obtained exclusively by The American Spectator, describes a “permanent” layoff of dozens of California workers that went into effect last week.
“I am writing to inform you that Harman Consumer, Inc. has decided to consolidate their global engineering operations located at 8500 Balboa Boulevard, Northridge, California 91329, to Shenzhen, China,” Sandra Buchanan wrote in the letter dated July 20. “The separation is expected to be on September 30, 2010 and will affect forty-eight (48) employees. . . . The layoffs are expected to be permanent . . . .”
Harman is the third-richest member of Congress, and her net worth increased last year $40 million, according to a study of Federal Election Commission records conducted by The Hill newspaper. . . .
Wonder what Mattie Fein will have to say about this?
I am on record as declaring “Net Neutrality” as The Most Boring Policy Debate in History. However, it appears that Warner Todd Huston was able to score a large enough supply of pure methamphetamine to keep him awake while he sorted through all the recent Net Neutrality news, including this scary headline:
Draft of Waxman’s net-neutrality
legislation leaked amid talks
Oh, great. So now the intense soporific effect caused by having to think about Net Neutrality — it’s a struggle not to nod off before I finish typing this sentence — is combined with the horrific mental image of Henry Waxman.
NIGHTMARES of NOSTRILDAMUS!
Better grab some some more coffee . . .
