So what’s it with Leon Panetta as head of the CIA? I guess anyone who even has enough intelligence experience to know what CIA stands for is tangentially related to Bush’s policy (read: “pro-torture”), and Obama wanted to pick someone the left wouldn’t whine about.
Little tip for Obama: The left will always whine if you’re [...]

I have this neat idea. I think I’ll have to work on it and expand it and you can help out, but here’s what I got so far. Anyway, this idea, like all great ideas, comes from John Edwards: What if we had two Americas?
Hear me out: Now we conservatives all want freedom, and there [...]

Harry Reid is apparently now taking credit for helping win the war. So by doing stuff like this, he was actually helping. By calling Petraeus a liar who couldn’t be trusted, he was supporting him. Wow; glad we got Reid on our side then.
Really, though, Reid could show up to the Capitol without pants and [...]

I saw this article in the Guardian (Europe liberal beats American liberal in distance from reality), and apparently people still see Obama as a blank cipher. In it, the author argues that Obama needs to weigh in on the current conflict in Israel, somehow believing Obama is going to have a radically different policy and [...]

You can now vote for IMAO at the Weblog Awards… or you can vote for someone else. Treacher is pretty funny; has he posted anything good lately? I should add him to my Google Reader. Did you know you can subscribe to something called an RSS feed and get updates from blogs sent to you? [...]

It looks like this is the year the wheels finally start to come off the bus for global warming. Everyone knows that to question global warming because that’s blasphemy against Sciencor, all-knowing elf-god of science, but still the layman assumption is that if we’re having the hottest years in a century, we probably shouldn’t be [...]

Hamas sure seems to like provoking Jews into killing them, so as a public service I thought I’d send my crack research staff to revisit and revise their facts about Hamas before research about Hamas becomes a job solely for anthropologists.
FUN FACTS ABOUT HAMAS
* Hamas was founded in 1987 according to some site I found [...]

I would have thought it would take at least until the Dems actually took power for them to completely fall apart, but they’re doing a spectacular job while President-Elect Obama is still trying to figure out how to put on his training wheels. First there’s the whole Blago mess. All the Democrats abandoned him for [...]

IMAO has made finalist for humor blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards. I didn’t think it was a very funny year for us, though. It was just a blah year for politics; I except things to pick up as the Democrats take power and start going crazy.
Anyway, what was your favorite posts from the past [...]

For those still waiting on it, I plan to have a couple chapter of Hellbender this week, a couple more next week, and if the stars and the planets align, a couple more the week after.
For those not interested in Hellbender, I return to regular blogging this week. So for those who wait to get [...]
