Ted Cruz for Senate
Under The Marble Arch
"I slept and dreamt that life was Joy.
I woke and saw that life was Duty.
I acted, and behold, Duty was Joy."
–Rabindranath Tagore

"The skepticism about human rationality that science inspires should not be taken as support for authoritarianism or paternalism… On the contrary, it should render questionable all claims to wise and disinterested leadership, including those of America’s own altruistic progressive technocrats who propose policies to “nudge” the unenlightened masses into doing the right thing. It makes more sense to think of our leaders and intellectuals as half-crazed hooting howler monkeys — just like the rest of us."
–Michael Lind, Salon, August 23,2011
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009
 “To date, what non-Obama voters see, and fear, is a candidate content to coast to the nomination and then conduct a blandly conservative campaign. They want a more substantive choice than that. They want to have it out over the worth or danger of Barack Obama’s ideas. They want the chance to ratify Washington’s enormous long-term claims on the country’s wealth, or decisively reject them." – Daniel Henninger, WSJ, July 21, 2011

Just Shut Your Eyes and Think of Aaron

DateMonday, May 22, 2006 at 08:12PM

Okay, Martha is one persuasive woman.  So why didn't she get the confession?  Because the writers only gave her six minutes.

Aside:  I checked the timeline,  That's six minutes from the beginning of the "Oh  honey, I was a bit harsh when I called you a %&*$# traitor.  I really think that you are a great man and a stud" to "Here, let me zip you up."  According to my Guinness Book of World Records, that would mean that she is due for a mention just for the act of changing her clothes with such alacrity,even without the element of multitasking.  I'm sure there have probably been a few hundred thousand emails floating around that are alot like this one that I received from a friend: "I'm sure I would have used my prez-pass and held out for at least a couple of hours, even if Jack Bauer was knocking at the door and threatening to torture me.  But then that would have turned the show into 26 or 27."

You could almost hear Chloë whispering urgently in her ear, "Martha, you have thirty seconds!"  But do we blame  Martha? No, of course not.  We've only spent twenty-four hours with Charles and already have a book full of reasons we know he would be, uh, how to put this delicately...a disappointment in the boudoir.  Reason number one: worm tongue.  But I have to give it to the actor, Greg Itzin- that was a great tic.

24.jpg"24" has  spawned a whole new orthopedic malady: "Jack Bauer elbow." 

Couples: Karen Hayes and Bill Buchanan; Martha and Aaron; Chloe and Spenser Wolff Edgar Lynn McGill the bank manager Morris...

We interrupt this blog for a message from our 16 year-old son:

THERE'S ONLY 10 MINUTES LEFT!! THE JERKS!! THE JERKS!!

Audrey and Miles; President Logan and  that male Rottweiler that's kenneled behind the stable and regularly taunted by a sadistic groundskeeper wearing a Richard Nixon mask.

It's been a fun season and you can see it all again in two hour installments on Fox, Fridays starting June 16.

We had a kind of pool around here on whether Martha was going to shoot him. He needed killing in the worst way. Unfortunately, they were in California. Texas juries can be pretty lenient when wives shoot putz husbands. When Price Daniel Jr.'s estranged wife shot him, Racehorse Haynes defended her for free. Thirty years on, my wife still mutters darkly about a wife who "needs to attend Mrs. Daniel's school of marital counseling."
