Advice on sex tapes for Rielle Hunter

The Bloggess has advice on making sex tapes — “Don’t!” — but since the sex DVD of Rielle Hunter and John Edwards has just come to public awareness and I hear tell you only can recognize John Edwards, I think it’s only common decency to bring items seven through 10 on re-dubbing the sound track …

Over at National Review Online, Jonah Goldberg is counseling the Right not to take the bait on Obama’s promise finally to start the process of repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell,” with a piece entitled, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Bite“: I’m basically with Amy Holmes and Jim Geraghty on this one.

Obama's SOTU — 'PIVOT'

I live-blogged Obama’s State of the Union speech at Newsreal and began my coverage with this clip from “Friends” featuring the word, “Pivot!” The predictions for the SOTU speech were that Obama would use it to pivot toward the center.

You know who should be live blogging the SOTU? Republican members of Congress! THAT would be TEH AWESOME!!!

(H/T a commenter at Perfunction, which has other versions of this photo from the White House’s Flickr feed that are just as hilarious. Via Ace.) I just read Michelle Malkin’s post that Joe Wilson will be the first member of Congress to answer a State of the Union address with a live video post from …
