Bush vs Obama
via The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan by Andrew Sullivan on May 15, 2008
This is manna for the Obama campaign, sent straight from Heaven. Who wouldn't want to run against this president this November? By conflating Bush and McCain on this, the White House has done the Democrats a massive favor.

Kerry on Bush's "Absolutely Shameless" Act
via Talking Points Memo by Josh Marshall on May 15, 2008
Sen. Kerry blasts President Bush's "shameless" act of launching a domestic political attack in front of a foreign parliament. In case you hadn't heard yet, the president attacked Sen. Obama as a terrorist coddler on the order of the late 30s Nazi-appeasers in a speech before the Israeli Knesset. As the president who's probably done more to damage this country than any in 150 years,...

Tyrese and Bruce Willis Might Join the A-Team
via FirstShowing.net by Kevin Powers on May 15, 2008
Making me just a tad bit happy given my recent rankings of the top rappers turned movie actors today, MovieWeb tells us that it seems Tyrese is now the lead contender to play fool-pityin' B.A. "Bad Attitude" Baracus in the upcoming A-Team movie instead of the previously considered Ice Cube.
