On Here Are Your Jetpacks
"...the end of the tired old "they promised us jetpacks" line?"
No. Never.

On $50 Million Buys Fake Grassroots Healthcare Profiteer A Chance for Governorship
Yes - the crazies turned out - and throw in a little rain and you get a 12% turnout. Only the die-hardest showed up. McCollum even pandered to them at the last minute with a "tougher than Arizona's" immigration bill proposal. It was all about reaching out to the "disaffected by Obama-Pelosi-Reed" on the R side.

On $50 Million Buys Fake Grassroots Healthcare Profiteer A Chance for Governorship
Mr. Scott - the billionaire Medicare cheat, courted the Tea Party against his opponent, "career politician" Bill McColluum, and won the primary last night. He dismissed the charges against him - that he is a billionaire, documented Medicare cheat - as "negative attack ads" insisting that we "get to work," all the while creating some of the most heinously misleading attack ads I've ever heard under a slew of patriotic-sounding PACs.
He proved once again that if you throw enough money at TV and radio buys and hammer home a message with relentless frequency - that message will eventually stick. But ya'll know how that works up there in the Big City with your moneybags mayor.
Scott goes up now against Alex Sink, who will be painted as a baby-killing, gay-loving, Obama worshiping Whore of Babylon - all while he smiles his movie-villain smile and pretends not to be involved in the negativity, touting his pro-life, family, "let's get to work" message.
Alex has been smart thus far to use her nickname instead of going with her given name of Adelaide. Perhaps enough misogynists will be fooled that she is a he and accidentally vote for her.
Rick Scott embodies everything that is wrong with American politics. He makes Satan proud.

I love the alt text on the Sterling office photo. Random genius.

On Jeb Bush: Hiding in Plain Sight
I've said the same. Believe it or not, the guy still has cred down here in Florida.

If there are any sensible Republicans still out there who want to see Sarah kept away from the candidate's role, they'll be drafting this guy fast. He's actually got a shot, despite the tarnished family name - at least a much better shot than Mrs. Palin has.

On Here's Some of the 'Rolling Stone' McChrystal Profile
Not so sure it's the "gay" thing that will get him in trouble with anyone. That shit is pretty funny. The guy comes across as likable and able. The real meat of the article is that no one, most importantly his troops on the ground, see COIN as viable. It's a no-win war and the general and his aides say as much. Whole article is here:

On Here's Some of the 'Rolling Stone' McChrystal Profile
Rolling Stone is going to be a case-study in Dinosaur Journalism with this fuck-up. Politico took it down - but Mark Halperin has it:

Grab it before the lawyers at Wenner World put the pressure on him too. And fucking distribute it to everyone - show those idiots at RS how media works these days and the traffic they missed out on. Nice reporting - idiocy when it comes to distribution.

On Kid Rock, Real American Rock Star
The rhyming could use some work:
"And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things"
Likely stolen from the pen of Gordon Lightfoot:
"The Captain wired in
he had water coming in"
And the fact that Sheryl Crow has become the Diana Ross to his Michael Jackson is disturbing in that, "She's my mother, my sister, my lover" vein.
