Olbermann and Dunkin' Donuts
Dunkin' Donuts pulls their ad featuring Rachael Ray because Wrong Wing nutbar asshats like Michelle Malkin thought her scarf was a keffiyeh.
Olbermann made Dunkin' Donuts the Worst Person in the World!
You know, I'm more than a few pounds overweight anyway. Skipping a few dozen Dunkin' Donuts might not be a bad idea!

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Don't Work!
Patrick Porter of Jurist Legal News and Research reports the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of an Air Force major who was fired when her superiors discovered she was in a lesbian relationship.We're still looking for the official ruling, but here's a quick link to
AlterNet to get you started.
It's only an Appeals Court ruling, so the Supremes can overturn it and keep Clinton's farce going, but it's a good sign.

Another McCain flip flop. Guess the "straight talk" doesn't fall too far from the tree!
Flip:Cindy McCain Releases 2006 Tax Returns
JIM KUHNHENN
Cindy McCain has released her 2006 tax returns, showing total income of more than $6 million. The wife of Republican presidential candidate John McCain paid more than $1.7 million in taxes.
McCain's campaign said she had received an extension on her 2007 tax returns and planned to make those public when they are filed.
Under a prenuptial agreement, the McCains have separate assets and file separate tax returns. John McCain made his tax returns public last month.
McCain's campaign only released the top two summary pages of Cindy McCain's 2006 return. In them, she listed itemized deductions totaling nearly $570,000. Mrs. McCain is the heiress of a large Arizona beer distributorship.
Flop:

A Public Service
Just in case you wondered what the worst joke of this political season was.*UPDATE*
It only took 5 hours for Huckabee to apologize. It took a little longer for the video to hit YouTube.

The Reagan Diaries
'A moment I've been dreading. George brought his n'er-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida; the one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work.'
From the REAGAN DIARIES------entry dated May 17, 1986.
Which is more embarrassing: having this quote said about you by the Republican icon, or knowing we let this bastard take the oath of office twice?

The Best Music You've Never Heard
The Frank Vignola Quintet w/ Joscho StephanFlyswatter
h/t Beavis
Did you really think it was about Terrrr?
John McCain slips and gives some straight talk accidently:
My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will - that will then prevent us - that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East.
