Couldn’t Help But Notice (031008)
“3AM Phone Call” blowback (HT Ace):
Pundits gave credit for her win in Texas to the “3 AM” ad, but its beneficial effects for Hillary have been short-lived. She only has a nine-point advantage among Democrats on the phone-call-in-the-middle-of-the-night question, but she has put both herself and Barack Obama at a serious disadvantage with regards to John McCain. The question appears to have awakened the electorate to the fact that Presidents do more than talk about hope, change, and handshaking.
It’s as if Hillary decided to start campaigning for John McCain.
Nice reax vid from JS3M3 (John Sidney the Mad Maverick McCain III).

Bush Derangement Syndrome from the bench that makes me clench:
Shawn Sage long dreamed of joining the military, and watching “Full Metal Jacket” last year really sold him on becoming a Marine.
But last fall, a Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner dashed the foster teen’s hopes of early enlistment for Marine sniper duty, plus a potential $10,000 signing bonus.
In denying the Royal High School student delayed entry into the Marine Corps, Children’s Court Commissioner Marilyn Mackel reportedly told Sage and a recruiter that she didn’t approve of the Iraq war, didn’t trust recruiters and didn’t support the military.
I agree with the California assemblyman who considers this an abuse of power — something Ms. Mackel would surely accuse the current administration of.
