U. S. Constitution Pin
Tom McMahon is pushing a "U.S. Consstitution Pin" (link) for, as he says, those too liberal to wear a flag pin. But there is no reason to stop here, right? I bet there already is a "Second Amendment" pin, and I'd certainly entertain a "no cruel and unusual punishment" pin, or just a simple "habeas corpus" pin (make the flag pin types really pussy when you start getting too specific about what the Constitution really means). Me, I'll settle for "letters of marque and reprisal," or just "no quartering of soldiers."

Well, I Told You Not to Take Advice from Me...
Here's me, folks:
On the other hand, you might say they won by losing:
HT, the author of what must be the weirdest insight of the day (link) and no, it's not the one about the razor.
I know what's going to happen to Yahoo (Microsoft will win).Underbelly, April 23 (link).
On the other hand, you might say they won by losing:
John Dvorak (link).Yahoo! is not worth $44 billion. Period. You could buy General Motors lock, stock, and barrel for $14 billion, name all the cars "Google Sucks," and get more bang for the buck.

Alito, McCain and Alito's Neighbor, and the Rest of the Lot
Above the Law has come up with a reason why John McCain is cool towards Justice Alito: Alito doesn't like The Sopranos, the TV show about Alito's neighbor, Tony Soprano (link).
Raises the question of what kind of shows McCain does like--probably tells you a lot about the man. Much has been made, for example, of Nixon's taste for Patton. I can't remember anything at the moment about the tastes of the incumbent, except that I do recall he enjoyed watching replays of "Baghdad Bob," the insanely optimistic press flac for Saddam Hussein, who kept shouting "we will bury you!" as the pillars crumbled around him. (link) And Ronald Reagan was, as they say, the president who thought World War II was a movie.
I'm probably not hip enough on TV or movies to do justice to this inquiry. I assume McCain would enjoy Top Gun; he might not be crazy about Grumpy Old Men; I wonder what he thinks of Officer and a Gentleman? As to the others--it's a little hard to picture Hillary enjoying any TV show (except, now that I think of it, maybe Frontline or the News Hour with Jim Lehrer?). I'm hazy on Barack at the moment also, but this bit from Tom McMahon may stimulate some suggestions (link):
