Best line of the day, so far

Grammar rule from the best-selling Eats, Shoots & Leaves: “don’t use commas like a stupid person.”

Watch the trailer.

“Unbelievable”

That’s what Ralph called this political ad from a Republican in North Carolina [Windows sound file].

Oh, it’s believable, Ralph. How about “disgusting” for your one word description? Or “excrementitious”?

Ralph got the link via Kos.

Why waste your time here…

when you could be over at Body and Soul reading Generations and Ronald Reagan.

D-Day

It is right to honor those brave warriors who stormed the beaches at Normandy 60 years ago, but I hope in doing so we don’t think they were any more brave or honorable than the Americans at Trenton in 1776, or Gettysburg in 1863, or Saint-Mihiel in 1918, or Iwo Jima in 1945, or Iraq today.

Ronald Reagan

NewMexiKen long thought the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should present Reagan with an Oscar. The Academy should have honored him for bringing distinction to the industry they represent by rising to this country’s highest office. But they also should have done it because, whatever the policies he promoted, Reagan knew how to act like a president, and in that he brought honor to us all.
