Internal Monologue

Image of Senator Vitter (R-LA) from washingtonpost.com Another day, another "family values" Republican caught with a hooker : "This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," [Senator] Vitter [R-LA], 46, said in a statement, which his spokesman, Joel DiGrado, confirmed to the Associated Press. "Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling," Vitter continued. "Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there -- with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way." This, from a guy who claimed that preserving the sanctity of marriage is the most pressing issue facing the country. Greenwald: Republican Senator David Vitter of Louisiana was not merely a supporter of last year's proposed constitutional amendment to "protect the san

Once the GOP front runner, McCain now seems to be tanking rapidly. MyDD reports that his campaign manager and his top strategist have both resigned, as well as his chief of staff. The Politico (via Sullivan ) has the story as well, but says that campaign manager Terry Nelson was fired. (Note: many in the lefty blogosphere consider The Politico to be a cesspool of beltway insider-ism and a front for Matt Drudge's right-wing smears.) McCain's standing with the Republican base has been hurt by his stances on campaign finance reform, immigration, and the feeling that he's not really one of them, just a maverick-turned panderer.

Sullivan says he has less money on hand than Ron Paul. (Paul is widely regarded as a fringe candidate, but he's doing surprisingly well in internet fundraising. He takes some admirable libe

These are the minis I obtained with the ad revenue acquired from Internal Monologue . The cost of the minis was only $0.90 more than my first GoogleAds payment. Woohoo! Special thanks to Pablo for being the self-appointed IM ad censor: he'd alert me when some awful right-wing ad appeared so I could put it on the competitive ad filter list. For those of you who care about such things, here are the 12 rares I got in my case: Large Gold Dragon Shadowbane Inquisitor Valiant Cavalry Raistlin Majere Aspect of Loviatar Berserk Flesh Golem Clawborn Scorrow Dracotaur Rager Frost Giant Jarl Large Shadow Dragon Orc Banebreak Rider I'm also having a discussion on Maxminis (mostly with myself) about how to kill the Gargantuan Blue Dragon with a 500 point warband , in anticipation of the "Dragon Rampage" event at GenCon Indy 2007.

You decide: Dear John, I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy—will you let me be yours? Gloria Dear John, I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me.
