A Gathering of Eagles...


... if by "eagles" you mean "chickenhawks." Yes, today commences the annual convention of the Conservative Political Action Committee (doesn't that sound vaguely Stalinist?). Looking at their invitees is like looking at a gallery of numbnuts, crackpots (minus (M)Ann Coulter this year-- though they're still selling her book!), and small men looking for balconies. If this year's election will be primarily about the past vs. the future, ladies and gentlemen, these reactionary, monochromatic authoritarians stand firmly in the former camp. Advice to CPAC attendees: Don't forget to take your "meds"; make sure they're unmarked bills; and it's the third stall from the right.
