Happy 34th
reddog53 (Diary) Saturday, August 16th at 5:51PM EST (link)As a long time reader of National Review, I thank Ramesh for his always thought provoking articles and post on The Corner.
When I grow up
Feddie (Diary) Saturday, August 16th at 6:02PM EST (link)I want to be Ramesh Ponnuru.
RJN, RIP
A very happy birthday to Ramesh....

McCain is like the French
Doc Holliday (Diary) Saturday, August 16th at 10:01PM EST (link)You just want to like them (some of us), but they make it so damn hard!
His latest ad says he takes on Big Tobacco, he takes on Big Oil, and we are not better off than four years ago. Gee thanks John, I am sure this will go over well in North Carolina and Texas
I have an idea John, why don’t you take on BIG GOVERNMENT or maybe some unionized industries. Ok, I take that back, leave business alone period, but it is funny he only wants to go after right to work industries, and businesses from the Solid South.
by the way, happy bday to that guy.
Molon Labe!
Doc, you must have missed Saddleback tonight
David Hinz (Diary) Saturday, August 16th at 10:11PM EST (link)you KNOW McCain is not my favorite Republican — he was INSPIRATIONAL tonight and the Obamessiah was Obismal. He was an ObamaNation!
The Minority Report — The HinzSight Report — TMRB.tv — MFOB “Miss Tagart, do you know the hallmark of the second-rater? It’s resentment of another man’s achievement.”
David, I hear ya
Doc Holliday (Diary) Saturday, August 16th at 10:23PM EST (link)I did miss it but have heard good things. I am looking forward to the 12 replay and hope it puts me in a better disposition towards the man.
I was a McCain volunteer in 2000, so I have been all over the place on this guy. I will always respect his background, I have even read his books.
But they keep running this crazy commercial. I guess he is trying to say one thing to “independents” and another thing to conservatives. I realize he has to create a big enough coalition to win this thing, but I don’t like the “taking on” business angle one bit.
Molon Labe!
