"Mendacity" Michelle Malkin says Obama is exploiting racial divisions -- after he said he didn't know whether race was involved in the Gates incident. Malkin even acknowledges that he said that. Nothing gets in the way of agitating the bigots.

"Sick Pukes" What else can you call pathological liars like Limbaugh and his dittoheads, or the author of some "politically incorrect" history of the New Deal who cherry picks his facts. Hear all about it today -- when I'm in rare form, if I do say so myself.

"GOP Media Victims" Local GOP Chairman Lenny Curry responds to the "lazy journalism" of Keith Olbermann. It seems that Olbermann thought the local GOP was a sponsor of the event. Could that be because emails sent out publicizing it said "Paid for by the Republican Party?" How silly of Olbermann.

"Nukes And Kooks" Some joker named Michael Sheuer was on Glenn Beck saying America needed a "major attack" by Osama Bin Ladin. It's the only way we can survive, he said. This prompted my usual rightwing callers to call in and talk about . . . everything except Michael Sheuer.

"It's Not News It's Fark" It's wonderful Wednesday in the middle of the summer, and there ain't a damn thing going on but the light bill. In other words, it's the perfect for conservative manufactured issues. Today's tempest in a teapot is Judge Sotomayor and the New Haven firefighters. Also, we get into the coup in Honduras.

"Ugly Babies" A Times-Union letter writer offers a compromise on abortion. Outlaw abortion except where the life of the mother is in danger, and maintain the social spending to provide for those babies. I say, "fair enough." What do the wingers say? Lots of action, today.
