1. Newsweek: Would You Buy a Used Hawk From This Man?
<snip>

Podhoretz is in favor of bombing Iran because of the country's unwillingness to suspend its uranium-enrichment program. He also believes America is engaged in a "world war" with "Islamofascism" and that Giuliani is the only man who can win it. "I decided to join Giuliani's team because his view of the war—what I call World War IV—is very close to my own," Podhoretz tells NEWSWEEK. (World War III, in his view, was the cold war.) "And also because he has the qualities of a wartime leader, including a fighting spirit and a determination to win."

It's good to see MSM reporting on this.

3. No, no, that's not quite right.
We must work for a third-party candidate who has no hope of winning at all, see if we can't leech off some votes from Hillary, and then when Rudy fucks up the country, we'll blame Hillary for making us sabotage her! And then we'll claim that her losing was never really our intent, and that she totally would have won if she appealed to us (who had already declared we would never vote for her) instead of the center.

It'll be awesome.

5. No, no, no. We must work to insure a Mets/Yankees series so whoever wins, NY wins.
It's for the good of the whole country. Or some country.
