No on Prop 8, the not-for-profit that Democrats set up to challenge California’s proposed same sex marriage ban, could be the most ill-conceived thing to come out of Hollywood since Flubber. Despite its record $35 million in contributions and help from Ellen Degeneres and other stars, it went down in flames on Election Day, no …

I know that some other Republicans plan to learn from McCain’s humiliating defeat and come out stronger in the future. I plan to riot. This is a good excuse to take stuff. I should have done it on Election Night, but I have a week-long window.

National Review Online editor Kathryn Jean Lopez sounds - and sorta looks! - like Misery’s Annie Wilkes in her new column, a defense of Sarah Palin:
She’s not perfect, but who among us is? If the McCain campaign tries to make her responsible for any defeat or close call, Republicans ought to repudiate such tawdry efforts …

Should McCain Have Reached Out to the Dead?

John McCain’s gains among “soccer moms” and “Nascar dads” could be neutralized on Election Day if Barack Obama runs up big margins among African Americans and one other demographic that Republicans have written off: zombies. Dead people are poised to show up Tuesday in record numbers. In Missouri, investigators have found over 10,000 dead people …

McCain: Obama, Pelosi and Reid’s “Dangerous Threesome”

Hammering Obama in Ohio on Monday, John McCain used an unusual metaphor to warn Republicans of what could happen if his opponent wins the White House and Democrats run up majorities in the House and Senate:
This election comes down to how you want your hard earned money spent. Do you want to keep it and …

Stupid Girls: Palin and Hasselbeck Tape Joint FOX Interview

When I go to cocktail parties, I stand next to the stupidest-looking person I can find - often I’m dating him - and compared to him, I look brilliant. Well, after her ditzy Katie Couric interview, Sarah Palin seems to have adopted the same strategy, scheduling Florida campaign stops with View co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck, …

I’m a Republican, but I’m Supporting Barack Obama

Over at National Review, David Frum writes that he plans vote for John McCain on November 4, even though McCain left the reservation on a few conservative issues. Like Frum and other disaffected Republicans, I could settle for McCain. Or I could “jump ship,” as one pundit calls it, and support Barack Obama. I’ve decided to support …

Milk School Fudges Numbers; Doubles Graduation Rate

NYC’s Harvey Milk High School (HMHS), the first public school in the United States for LGBT students, has been reluctant to come out with the truth about its performance. Former principal Daniel Rossi first reported his much-publicized 95 percent graduation rate in 2005/06, even when a third of his 60 students had dropped out, according …

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI have finished their investigation into Rep. Mark Foley’s erotic Instant Messages with a Congressional intern and - surprise! - found nothing. This probe has been a disgrace. Forget the fact that Florida’s age of consent law is naive. (It shields minors from “lewd” Internet content - even though …

Check out the Milk preview.

UPDATE: Mr. Grant wants me to chime in on the project. I’m hesitant to write about Milk, to be honest, because 1) I haven’t seen it and 2) I think that Sean Penn in an idiot (remember his “fact finding” trip to Iraq?), so I’m inclined to hate it. But I have …

Joe has a point. I’ve never been inclined to join Log Cabin Republicans, although I go to its meetings sometimes to cruise for conservative jail bait. What bothers me is its unconditional allegiance to Republicans. If McCain can count on Log Cabin in November, no matter what his position is on marriage and other issues, …
