The Waldorf got two new condensers today, and I got to watch from a conference room. Sorry for the crummy cell phone photos.

You can see the old rusty ones they removed.

Guess what happens when you dance with Republicans? You die in a hail of gunfire apparently.

Amanda Ross’s neighbors heard the screams of the slain woman as shots rang out across the Lexington, KY condominium where her gun-shot ridden body was found in the parking lot, setting off a man-hunt for the only conceivable suspect in the case, Kentucky GOP icon Steven Nunn who’d been ordered by a court to stay away from Ross after the judge found that he’d smashed her across the face at her home on February 17, 2009.

It is clear from the statements of Ross’s friends in the local rag that the 29 year old Ross lived in quaking fear of her former fiance Nunn, son of late Gov. Louie B. Nunn, former GOP state rep and failed candidate for governor in 2003, and that everyone in town knew of her mortal terror that he would again break the restraining order, having gone to the cops to complain of a breach this summer.

Haven’t had time to sort through the online photos (at work), but this one caught my eye.

Democrats Inflate Expectations for 9/12 Rally Turnout [TPM]

Second one, I know, but he deserves it.

When someone registers a domain like glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com, they probably expect to hear from Glenn Beck’s lawyers. In this case, it took two days. The site’s anonymous operator tells Ars that the whole thing is satire—but that may not be enough to avoid charges of defamation.

A bit thin-skinned, you’ll agree.

This might be the stupidest thing ever posted on the internet.  The Politico:

Nor are Democrats strangers to having their crazy uncles take center stage. During the run-up to the Iraq war, for example, Reps. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) and David Bonior (D-Mich.) famously flew to Baghdad, where McDermott asserted that he believed the president would “mislead the American public” to justify the war. The trip made it a cakewalk for critics to describe the Democratic Party as chockablock with traitorous radicals.

Douchebags.
