A radio ad for phillycars.com (which I’m deliberately not linking) I just heard during a Phillies radio broadcast contains this nugget of wisdom:
It makes me very sad that I have to share roads, governments, and the atmosphere with the people at whom that ad is targeted.I’m a mom from the Main Line. Thanks to phillycars.com I found my dream car: a Hummer H2. Outta my way, sucka!
For those of us with short attention spans, Matthew Yglesias offers a quick summation the presidential candidates’ positions on Cuba:
The main point, though, is that Chris Dodd has boldly challenged the status quo, Barack Obama has put forward more modest proposals for change, and Hillary Clinton and the Republicans all support the status quo policies that have been failing for decades.
Remember back in aught-five when a friend of my family who writes for the Guardian got kidnapped in Iraq?
Now he’s wising off to Hugo Chávez’s face:
Glorious.What prompted the ire was a Guardian query about a draft constitution and its most contentious provision: the abolition of presidential term limits to allow Mr Chávez to run again when his period in office expires in 2012. Given that he had ruled out a similar change for governors and mayors, on the grounds that they might become corrupt in power, why risk it with the president?….
The carnival mood curdled when Mr Chávez was asked about term limits. “Why don’t they ask for a referendum in the Caribbean [Commonwealth] islands and ask people if they want the Queen to be their head of state? Why doesn’t the Guardian make an investigation in Britain about the monarchy?” he asked. There was no chance to explain that the paper has advocated republicanism.
