On Rafa, kissing, and the 'death of change'

Air America: Last night's speech was the 'death of change'

Rafa Rocks: Man storms on to the U.S. Open Court after match, he hugs then kisses Rafael Nadal. After he's taken away by security Rafa says ""For me, it wasn't a problem. The guy was really nice. He said, 'I love you,' and he kissed me."


Yikes! AP: 4 out of every 10 working age Californians unemployed. That's 40% unemployment. Severe. A bit of a stretch. But let's be honest, around the country the real numbers are much higher than the 9.7% reported and we all know it. There does seem to be an effort to keep the official number under 10%

Obama's War: 4 U.S. Marines die in Afghan ambush

Knockdown: Paglia reams Obama and the GOP.

Lunch Break

Obama should resign: Obama is useless. Worse than that he's dangerous.

More War Mr. President? Obama increases number of mercenaries in Iraq/Afghanistan.

French Open Closes for Nadal: Oh, Rafa - say it ain't so. Serena and Andy Roddick are still in - so I have reason to watch and root...but Rafa...oh Rafa...why you do this to me, Rafa?

NK fires again: North Korea fires another missile - Obi admin says: "I don't think that anybody in the administration thinks there is a crisis," Gates told reporters aboard his military jet early Friday morning. Is No Drama Obama actually too disinterested to be bothered since there is no upside for me Obama?

Where's Bill? Check this blog out.

Comment on Hot Air:
Most recently NQ, Liberal Rapture, The Confluence. Mostly small liberal blogs that were hardline behind Hillary Clinton...Believe it or not the real democrats had O figured out along time ago.

So real that we had to leave the party to maintain any integrity.

The kids are alright: Don't they know the musty ol' Bible mutters some barely coherent, mistranslated silliness about it in a single word or two written 1,500 years ago in a long dead language by acidic church elders with powermad political agendas and violently repressed libidos who nevertheless wish to instruct us all how to live and love and screw? Read it all.

John goes all tiger beat:

oh the many things i love...because, as we know - those who can't do - blog...

...USC Football...Shakespeare...the sublime inanity of Green Acres...the deliciously fearless South Park...almond roca...kicky pop music....oh and Rafael Nadal's smile, uh, i mean skill...The French Open is moving along and I also love me some tennis...and come to think of it lets hear it for Shakira ..Fear no Rock en Espanol...while American pop was disintegrating into fits of increasingly crappy rap and increasingly tiresome "hip hop" driven by increasingly creepy and gooey sexual energy... Rock en Espanol was often busy keeping the fun, sexy, earnest urgency of pop alive...so Go Rafa! Go Lakers! Go Friday! Go Rock en Espanol!...Go on then...have a great weekend!
