"I'll probably . . . peel off until the cake."

Context.

This would be an interesting theory...

Geometry was my favorite subject in ninth grade.

"Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver..."

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.

"We are the ones we've been waiting for."

I am sure Prof. Althouse has an opinion about Obama's slightly odd phrase. I just don't know what it is.

"I am sorry if anyone was offended. It was certainly not meant in any way to be offensive. We can be proud of both Jesse Jackson and Senator Obama."

We do know how Prof. Althouse loves the language of apologies.
Will Geraldine Ferraro ever leave? My guess is not until late May.

"Saying that Hillary has Executive Branch experience is like saying Yoko Ono was a Beatle."

Prof. Althouse sorta kinda defends Hillary Clinton on the experience factor.

John McCain and Barack Obama: "Each sees the other as a posturing phony."

Prof. Althouse links to a Michael Crowley piece about what Obama and McCain think of each other. Offers little opinion except on Crowley's use of mild language.

"But if you use the word pal — or worse, the phrase my friend — in my kitchen, it'll make people paranoid. My friend famously means 'asshole'...."

Prof. Althouse wonders about all of John McCain's "friends".

"McCain flips out..."

Prof. questions Josh Marshall's word choice.

"I don’t think it is fair to suggest somehow that we have been trying to hide the bone on this."

Prof. Althouse links to a story on the Obama/Rezko matter. The post itself is neutral and so that is how I am labeling it.

That said, it will be interesting to see how much Prof. Althouse posts "neutral" posts about matters which are clearly negatives for the other candidates.
