Happy Independence Day, Sarah Palin.
You may have escaped your job, but you can't escape your self-appointed patron. Bill "Always Wrong" Kristol still believes in you:
If Palin wants to run in 2012, why not do exactly what she announced today? It's an enormous gamble - but it could be a shrewd one.

I look forward to Hawk and DJ's gloating farewell tribute
Jay Mariotti, the opinionated and polarizing sports "columnist" for the Chicago Sun-Times, has resigned after 17 years with the "paper," he told the Tribune on Tuesday night.
Just back from Beijing, where he "covered" the Olympics, Mariotti said in a phone interview that he decided to quit after it became clear while in China that sports journalism had become "entirely a Web site business. There were not many newspapers there." He added that most of the journalists covering the Games were "there writing for Web sites." (Waaaaaaaaaaah... Ed.)
Mariotti, whose public battles with fellow staffers, team owners, managers, coaches and rival columnists are legendary, didn't disclose any specific plans except to say he will continue doing his regular stint on ESPN's "Around the Horn."
He said he "is talking with a lot of Web sites" and added that the future of his business "sadly is not in newspapers."

Quitters Never Win and Winners Never Quit.
McCain adviser Gramm quits after 'whiners' remarks
By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer
Former Texas Sen. Phil Gramm resigned Friday from his role as GOP presidential candidate John McCain's campaign co-chairman, hoping to quiet the uproar that followed his comments that the United States had become a "nation of whiners" whose constant complaints about the U.S. economy show they are in a "mental recession." Gramm, a past presidential candidate, made the remarks more than a week ago. McCain immediately distanced himself from the comments, but they brought a steady stream of criticism just as McCain is trying to show he can help steer the country past its current financial troubles. Gramm said in a statement late Friday that he is stepping down to "end this distraction."
"It is clear to me that Democrats want to attack me rather than debate Senator McCain on important economic issues facing the country," Gramm said. "That kind of distraction hurts not only Senator McCain's ability to present concrete programs to deal with the country's problems, it hurts the country. To end this distraction and get on with the real debate, I hereby step down as co-chair of the McCain campaign and join the growing number of rank-and-file McCain supporters." Gramm made the comment to The Washington Times and later explained that he was talking about the nation's leaders not the American people. Democrats claimed at the time that the Gramm comments showed that McCain is out of touch with voters' concerns over high gas prices, the struggling housing industry and the shaky economy in general.
The campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Gramm's departure will make little difference to McCain's economic policies. "The question for John McCain isn't whether Phil Gramm will continue as chairman of his campaign, but whether he will continue to keep the economic plan that Gramm authored and that represents a continuation of the polices that have failed American families for the last eight years," said Obama campaign spokesman Hari Sevugan.

Another Quitter
GOP Loses Another Leader in Congress
Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds (RN.Y.) announced yesterday that he will not seek another term in office, becoming the latest member of the former GOP leadership team to step down in the past two years.
And these are the same losers who want us to stay in Iraq until the end of the time? The party of Americans has turned into the party of AmeriCANTS. Well, don't let the Capitol Hill door hit you on the ass on the way out. Best to put that tail between your legs, too, like a skunk...

America concedes defeat, civilization grinds to a halt, all is lost, etc. (cont'd)
Temporary change in execution policy in Texas
Texas’ largest county, Harris, in the Houston area, leads the nation in carrying out death sentences, but the county’s chief prosecutor said on Thursday that his office will withdraw all execution dates and seek no more until the Supreme Court rules in a pending case on lethal injections.

Things That Suck (cont'd)
1. Dumbya. What idiotic thing did the horse's ass say or do in the past week? Let's see, Mr. "Fiscally Responsible" (don't laugh!) wants to cut funding for the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program, and vows a veto of the Senate's spending increase ($110 million, or about an afternoon in Iraq...). Sounds like someone is "soft on crime" to me.
2. Big 10 football. Illinois loses to Iowa. Annuder pretenda. Wisconsin goes from like 5th in the nation to outta the poll in 2 weeks. Pathetic. The Cats suddenly look good at this point. Look for Ohio State to lose to Michigan, and six or seven teams in bowl games to all lose...
3. The rest of college football. It's hard to believe South Florida and Boston College are 2 & 3 in the nation. One thing is clear: Northern Illinois and Syracuse totally, totally SUCK.
4. The Colorado Rockies. Whatever, I'm still not buying them.
5. Senator McConnell (HYOOOGE Scumbag) Staffer Admits To Smearing 12 Year Old Graeme Frost : turns out the right-wing wingnuts were wrong about everything. But "facts" were never their game. And why do these pro-lifers seem to hate kids so much?
6. Bud Lite & Fox Sports. So if Cleveland wins Thursday we wait until Wednesday for the World Series to start? Well, that is just way stooooopid. Another non-traditionalist move by the self-avowed traditionalist (not).
7. Tim McCarver & Joe Buck: SHUTTHEPHOKKUPALREADY. Finger on mute...
8. "I don't like being in the minority. It's not that much fun, and prospects for the future don't look that good."--Rep. Ray "The Loser" LaHood (R-Ill.), who was first elected in the 1994 GOP landslide and will retire after this term. Seeya, quitter. And don't let the door repeatedly hit you on the head on the way out...

10. Whatever this idiot is doing...Under fierce attack by Democrats over the children’s health insurance plan, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner* said Sunday Republicans will unveil their own health care plan over the next few months.
“Republicans are working on a plan that will provide access to all Americans to high quality health insurance, make sure that we increase the quality of insurance that we have in America, and we want to foster a sprit of innovation,” said Boehner on “Fox News Sunday.” “This is a plan we’ll see over the next coming months where we put the patients in charge of their health care.”
*Pronounced BO-nurr.
