2009_0313_getty_mccain_meghan_bitesBoy, I’m struggling with a difficult political issue. I can’t quite decide what to do or what to think. My gosh. What am I going to do???

Wait. I know. I’LL SEE WHAT MEGHAN MCCAIN THINKS!

Meghan McCain, former 1st daughter hopeful, has apparently decided that is precisely the scenario that young politically-minded folk go through daily. Therefore, she has set up shop on a site referred to as The Daily Beast. Promising. Confident that this was not sufficient marching orders for the teeming masses that seek her counsel, she also has begun to blog on the aptly named McCain Blogette.

We beg Barack Obama to intercede in the plight of the Hawaiian Pelula bird, and save them from wild boars with his effective community organization skills.

A look is taken at the recent flap over Obama’s “Special Olympics” comment, and the host may not say what you expect.

Today, we go from one rather well known elitist to another. We move from The Child, His Royal Highness, The Benevolent Barack H. Obama to the decidedly non-venerable Jon Stewart – host of the comedy program The Daily Show. He’s making waves with his on air bashing of a CNBC host – Jim Cramer. And here are the moving pictures.

Stem Cells & The Arrogance of Barack Obama

I have been one calm Conservative dude for the weeks since the coronation of His Most Augustine Grace, Barack Obama, as President of these United States. Through each truckload of these 4 trillion dollars he has loosed from the federal treasury, I have forestalled the perennial urge to stand up and yell. A cry to the effect of, “Holy biscuits and gravy man! You are driving this country into massive debt! How can you have any sincere belief we can spend our way out of recession when you can’t point one place it’s worked before! GAH!!! But the knowledge that we Conservatives bear so much responsibility for putting Obama into his vanilla abode has staunched my angst. Until today.

This World Baseball Classic is happening right now. I’ve been able to catch much of three games over the weekend, and was really impressed. More so than in 2006 (when the first event was held), this thing really seems to have some excitement and competitive fire from the teams and appears to be gaining traction from the fans.

Even though the very mention of baseball conjures up images of Americana for most, the WBC offers a fascinating (almost surreal) confirmation that places like Japan and the Caribbean have taken our national pastime and made it their own. And while baseball has been supplanted in many ways by the more ADD friendly NFL football, people in those countries absolutely glory in the game of baseball. And that IS great to behold.
