Kathleen Parker On Chris Buckley, National Review: "(Republicans) Do Not ... Deserve To Win This Time, And Someone Had To Remind Them Why.&am
NAC has been following this story since Christopher Buckley's on-line Obama endorsement first broke.
William F. Buckley was articulate and intelligent, whereas contemporary conservatism boasts a crass anti-intellectualism that lately has become viral.
Surveying the scurrilous faith-based wreckage of the conservative movement, which today embraces the "we the people don't need no education" line of non-thought and would correspondingly not hesitate to ostracize Buckley elder in the same way that it has impugned the younger, as well as previously savaging Kathleen Parker for her apostasy in denouncing Sarah Palin, LEO’s Stephen George said it best earlier this week:

Parker Defends Buckley For Endorsing Obama
Kathleen Parker, a conservative columnist, defends Christopher Buckley, another conservative, after he got squeezed from his writing gig for endorsing Obama.

Jessica A Beer Sponsor
Entrepreneur Jessica Simpson, who recently launched her own clothing line, has teamed up with Dallas' Stampede Brewing Company to become the new face of Stampede Light Plus beer.
Although terms of the deal were not disclosed, Simpson is reportedly taking on a 15 per cent stake in the company in return for her endorsement.
Along with her own fashion line, Simpson has also launched her own fragrance, range of hair extensions and a bath and body collection.
We'll see how great this deal is once Tony Romo dumps her ass after the Cowboys choke once again in the playoffs.
Simpson will probably be cheering, "E-A-G-L-E-S...Go Eagles!"

Mole Missing
As seen in the supposed unairbrushed AP photo, Sarah Jessica Parker has no mole.
Parker attended Tuesday night's All-Star game, and hit the field beforehand for an announcement about cancer research. Parker has long had a trademark mole on her chin, which has been visible throughout her career...but not tonight.
43-year-old Parker is adamant that she has not undergone surgery, with her representative saying, "Nothing has been removed." Maybe just melted?
Thank God we're all perfect.
