This is what freedom looks like: cellphones 🙂 Lines stretched for blocks outside phone centers Monday as the government allowed ordinary Cubans to sign up for cellular phone service for the first time. The contracts cost about US$120 (euro76) to activate – half a year’s wages on the average state salary. And that doesn’t include…

Evidently you’ll be arrested if you try. (via)

She didn’t waste any time, did she? The ad just writes itself, doesn’t it? And what’s so great about this is that McCain doesn’t even have to spend a dime of his own money running it :-)As Allahpundit calls it, “The Bittergate” attack ad:

Or at least the equivalent. And no, it’s not the religious right. What do you expect from a bureaucracy? There’s no downside for waste and incompetence.

Kaus lists four problems with the Obama gaffe. Here’s the fourth: Yes, he’s condescending. It’s not just that in explaining everyone to everyone Obama winds up patronizing everyone.

Abortion was brought up at the Messiah College Compassion Forum that Clinton and Obama attended (I’ll blog more about it in another post) and he was asked how there can be common ground on abortion and of course he had no real answer because there isn’t common ground between a candidate who supports infanticide and…

It only took him…what?…4, 5 tries to finally get a descent spin on his gaffe. I wonder why it took him so long to play the faith card? Isn’t it the most obvious defense?And the slam on Clinton? Very good! Excellent attack! “She’s running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsmen, how…

Politico makes the case against an Obama candidacy: Far from a no-holds-barred affair, the Democratic contest has been an exercise in self-censorship. Rip off the duct tape and here is what they would say: Obama has serious problems with Jewish voters (goodbye Florida), working-class whites (goodbye Ohio) and Hispanics (goodbye, New Mexico). Republicans will also…
