I think that Harry Reid is living in an alternate universe:
“Who’s winning?” Reid asked a group of reporters. “Big Oil, Big Tobacco. … Al Qaeda has regrouped and is able to fight a civil war in Iraq. … The American people are losing.”
I’m pretty sure that he’s the most incompetent and idiotic Senate Majority Leader in my lifetime, and that’s saying something. And I thought that Tom Daschle was bad. If I were a Democrat, I’d be embarrassed.

Isn’t this a little premature? There are still a couple weeks left in the year. One or two of them could still get edged out.
Of course, I’m not sure that any of them top this guy:
Earl Mott: Did you just shoot at me?
Ken Kessler: No, there’s police men everywhere.
Earl Mott: Do you think that I look that stupid?
Ken Kessler: Yes, you do!
Lt. Bender: GIVE THE BAG TO BOZO, DROP THE GUN, AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR.
Earl Mott: Who said that?
Lt. Walters: This could very well be the stupidest person on the face of the earth. Perhaps we should shoot him.
Lt. Bender: IT’S THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Earl Mott: Really?
Lt. Bender: NO! WE’RE THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION!
Pejman has a long endorsement of Fred Thompson. I agree with most of it. If I were a Republican, he’d get my vote.
[Update in the evening]
Matt Lewis says don’t write off Fred Thompson..
[Late night update]
OK, call me crazy [raucous chorus of Transterrestrial readers: “You’re crazy!”], but I think that this could be a winning campaign ad for Fred.
There’s apparently a military application for what I thought was an advertising technology:
It appears that some of the troops in Iraq are using “spoken” (as opposed to “screeching”) LRAD to mess with enemy fighters. Islamic terrorists tend to be superstitious and, of course, very religious. LRAD can put the “word of God” into their heads. If God, in the form of a voice that only you can hear, tells you to surrender, or run away, what are you gonna do?
What’s cool about this weapon is that it’s one that will be particularly effective with this enemy. If it happened to me, the voice of God isn’t the first theory that I would come up with, since I’m an unbeliever, but with these guys, it probably would be.
They are if lunar land prices are really a leading indicator. If so, I wonder why?
