The To-do List Blog

Sasha Cagen’s To-Do List blog has been released as a book. The to-do lists she compiles are interesting, bizarre, mundane, obsessive, and sometimes flat-out spooky. Her blog and book come from people who have emailed them to Sasha, opening up their underwear drawers, so to speak.

She has a cool video on YouTube, explaining the blog and list collection:

Latest Jeri Kehn sightings and photographs

Jeri Kehn Thompson hit the road one more time for one more try these last few weeks, attempting to revive her spouse's shockingly moribund campaign.

Once again, the photographs of Jeri Kehn overshadow those of actor turned Senator turned actor, Fred Thompson. You have to admit. . .telegenically, Fred seems to fit Richard Pryor's description of Ronald Reagan: "He looks like a d**k with clothes on,"

supporter resembles many of the Republicans who seem to be getting
caught soliciting bathroom sex, gerbiling, and sniffing bicycle seats.

Giuliani: front-runner in name only?

The Mayor of 9/11 in drag

Citizen Rudolph Giuliani's hold on the front-runner slot is rapidly crumbling. It may not even matter that he leads in the national polls. . .he is being trounced in the two first primary states, Iowa and New Hampshire. Iowa is almost as key for the G.O.P. candidates as it is for the Dems. Conventional Wisdom says that if Senator Clinton takes Iowa, the race is virtually over.

Two new polls show Mitt Romney taking a widening lead in New Hampshire, the first battleground.

While The Mayor of 9/11 has held onto his lead in national polls and several states, Ex-governor Romney is now well ahead in both Iowa and New Hampshire, the two early-voting states that have always been key in determining the Republican nominee.


homina homina homina

Mr. Romney has now opened up a 12-point lead over Giuliani in New Hampshire, 32% to 20%, in a Boston Globe/University of New Hampshire poll released Sunday. The latest Marist College poll, also released yesterday gives him an 11 point edge. Senator McCain of Arizona is running third in both surveys.

Mitt Romney has consolidated his lead and the Republican contest is now a horse race, despite the surveys in September that suggested Giuliani had closed the gap in New Hampshire. Mr. Romney has been ahead in Iowa by double digits since summer. The Iowans caucus on January 3.

"Certainly [Romney] has to be seen as the front-runner now," a political scientist and pollster at the University of New Hampshire, Andrew Smith, said yesterday.

Bummer for Rudy. . .since he has recently been jawboning about winning New Hampshire. It now looks like Romney may sweep the first two states. If that happens, it would catapult Romney into the Michigan, Florida, and South Carolina contests later in January.

It can't help the Mayor of 9/11 that his former New York police commissioner, Bernard Kerik, (whom Mr. Giuliani recommended to President Bush as a secretary of homeland security in 2004) is in hot water. That pathetic recommendation not only brought heat down on the former mayor, but also piled more trouble on the already deeply troubled Bush Administration.

If you've been following the election here, you remember I predicted Romney would surge ahead. I'm just a little shocked it has taken this long.

At least Rudy had some good news this weekend...Pat Robertson's endorsement!

Minifig's Lego artwork of the Dick Cheney Hunting "accident"

click to enlarge - Thanks to Minifig for permission to use this.

This is an old piece, but it still works. Minifig from the U.K. created a lego dramatization of Dick Cheney's hunting accident (around the time of the "incident").

Are the Supremes about to rule on the constitutionality of gun ownership?

click to enlarge collage (copyright 2006 All This Is That)

The Supremes could decide the constitutionality of gun ownership, and we may know as early as tomorrow whether or not they decide to take the case. To those of us on the anti- side, it seems obvious.

You may remember during his confirmation hearing, that Chief Justice John Roberts said the Miller decision (dating back to the 1939) "side-stepped the issue" and left "very open" the issue whether the second amendment protects an individual right, or a more collective right.

Both anti gun and pro-gun forces (or, peace freaks and gun nuts) have urged The Supremes to take on this case (questioning the constitutionality of the the District of Columbia's strict gun-control law). If the justices agree to hear the case, the Roberts court will find itself square in the sights of a culture war that makes the abortion issue look like a sandbox altercation (because the pro-gun forces are well-armed, and a little bit kooky).

Does the Second Amendment to the Constitution protects an individual's right to "keep and bear arms?" If the answer is yes, as a federal appeals court held last March, the Supremes must decide how this impacts a statute that bars possession of handguns and requires all guns in the home to be disassembled or protected by trigger locks.

It has been almost 70 years since the court even danced around the gun control issue. In 1939, the United States v. Miller, held that a sawed-off shotgun was not one of the "arms" to which the Second Amendment referred in its "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

The District of Columbia is not a normal city (its gun law was passed in that heady first year of home-rule) and the law has pissed off "right to bear arms" types since it was passed in 1973. Even the allegedly apolitical Supremes must be wary of taking on this issue in an election year. November 4, 2008 looms large.
