Tidbits and Cat Treats

By Baxter

Some random thoughts as we prepare to depart for the True North for the holidays:

Just because John McCain reportedly told his campaign staff that they couldn't run negative ads featuring Rev. Jeremiah Wright does not mean he gets a pass on the other smarmy stuff that he and his running mate did. Especially since his campaign cut a Wright ad anyway.

The fact that it was Justice Clarence Thomas who circulated the appeal for the Supreme Court to hear the bogus anti-Obama citizenship case is just, well, pathetic.

The GOP needs to wipe the foam off its face about Saxby Chambliss and the Congressional election in Louisiana. The results of both races are just more proof that the Republican Party is a marginalized creature of the South. (Meanwhile, Democrats picked up a seat in Ohio that they haven't held in 42 years.)

We think the timing of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's arrest is a little suspicious. We know ol' Rod has been on the cusp of trouble for a long time now, but why do we think the Bank of America had something to do with this?
