I can remember a time, what seems like a century ago, when so-called conservatives were always the serious people and the voice of reason. Yesterday, I saw two of our own sadly predictable assclowns, McCain and Lieberman, on the television begging for a military escalation in Libya as well.

I know that it's gauche to admit such a thing publicly, but I am pleased with Obama's performance as the sensible adult. I was generally impressed with his handling of Egypt, too.
