bush-cheney hitler Video

In a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black the latest bush-bheney ad hominem campaign video reaches a new low. This is pretty much killfile material.
For some thoughts on the usefulness of invoking this particular meme see here and here.
Update (6/25): PZ Myers is puzzled by the message the campaign is trying to send and suggests some possibilities.
Update (6/28): The bushies have revised the video with some explanatory comments on the front end. Via The Sideshow.


Movies, Movies, Movies

Road Trip

I’ll be on the road for the next four days: an 2000 mile round trip to drop my daughter off at Signal Mountain Lodge for her summer job and then a quick spin through Yellowstone before heading home.
Posting will probably be pretty minimal…
