It’s likely, but a little silly, too. I wouldn’t want Biden anywhere near me rattling on and on, anymore than I’d want Billy Boy tagging around with Hillary as my VP.
If I were Obama, I’d say no to them both.

I doubt it.  But who knows?

John McCain is seriously considering choosing a pro-abortion-rights running mate despite vocal resistance from conservatives, with former Democratic vice presidential nominee Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) very much in the mix, close McCain advisers say.

What would it do to the Party?  Well, do they have much of a choice?  Honestly?

Taliban bomber kills 29 at hospital in Pakistan…

Most of those killed were family members visiting the body of a man murdered by the Taliban in a bazaar earlier that day. “The people had gathered around his dead body when the bomber blew himself up,” the Associated Press of Pakistan reported. Five policemen were also killed in the attack.

Takes a pretty sick bastard to do this at a hospital.  To suicide bomb at all is messed up, but at a hospital?  Or targeting kids?

Musharraf resigns. What do you think? The Islamists are happy.

Russia captures Georgian soldiers and commandeers US Humvees.

Michael Yon is headed to Afghanistan.

Anti-semite and Holocaust denier Pat Buchanan blames the US for the Georgian conflict.

From Hot Air:

What kind of isolationist apologizes for another country’s expansionism, anyway? Answer: The same kind that thinks Churchill was the chief warmonger of the early 1940s, I guess. Exit question: For people who complain so much about neocons dramatically overstating the threats from foreign powers, Birchers like Buchanan and Ron Paul sure aren’t above dramatically understating them, are they?

McRudy???
Michelle Malkin doesn’t like the idea. I do. Just another area of disagreement between me and the Foxy lady…

But, I Am a Liberal! on Lieberman as the McCain VP choice.

It will also piss off that base to no end, and the votes he may lose from having Lieberman on the ticket would likely outweigh those he gains.

Swedish police have seized an anti-tank grenade launcher in Stockholm. Freaking Swedes and their damn guns!

Yourish takes a shot at the coward Nasrallah and it’s pretty dead-on.

So, when Chipmunk Cheeks Nasrallah makes threats on TV from a hidden location deep in Lebanon, should we do anything more than laugh, loudly and scornfully?

Just remember, hiding and sneaking around are NOT indicators of fear. Right…

Conflicted.

A really good analysis of the candidates at Diary of a Secular Conservative.

Barry Rubin on “Fifty First Negotiations” and the failure of Israel to do anything other than appease and encourage the terrorists.

Spanish basketball team poses for RACIST PHOTOGRAPH intended to piss of the Chinese.

Norway knights a penguin. Come again?

RUSSIA IS NOW threatening to nuke Poland. Sounds like they’ve been emboldened by the West’s meek response to the Georgian conflict.

Fred Thompson on the vast array of foreign policy crises facing our next President.

So let’s recap: international terrorism; powerful nation states on a quest for hegemony, whether close to home or further afield and with a willingness to squelch freedom anytime the opportunity arises; less stable and no less dangerous countries with nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities; an alliance of democratic nations of questionable resolve and a debate at home over our future role in the world with a political party happy to create the impression of diminished resolve with little concern for the long term damage such an impression may cause.
