Month: September 2008

Proving I guess that he has an intuitive instinct for insinuation, Barack Obama (always one to stay above “that kind of politics”) made fun of Sarah Palin with a very clever pig reference: Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin’s new “change” mantra. “You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd…

To a suggestion that the Soviet Union encourage Catholicism in order to mollify the Pope during World War II, Joseph Stalin famously replied, The Pope? How many divisions has he got? Cold-blooded and amoral, perhaps, but calculating political realities works pretty much the same way. It may sound coldly calculating, but in politics, it’s votes…

“Nationalization” is a word normally associated with socialist dictators and petty Third World tyrants. In this country, the government is not supposed to nationalize companies, much less entire industries. Instead, it bails them out or buys them up when they run into trouble. The end result? The government runs them just as if they had…

A few days ago American Thinker did a post on how the ∅bama money machine was breaking down. We have heard quite a lot over the past year about Barack Obama’s fund raising prowess. But the good times may be over. Now it suddenly appears that John McCain and his campaign are no slouches in…

H/T No Quarter

For those of you who frequent Just One Minute you would know the guy being interviewed better as commenter Charlie(Colorado). You can find more details on his rumor control pages with links at Palin Rumor Control.

It seems like I have a commenter who doesn’t like hick bitches. Especially if they are from Alaska. I would personally like to thank the commenter for driving the bitch vote, the hick vote, and the hick bitch vote to MCain/Palin. I’m sure they will welcome with open arms all the votes ∅ doesn’t need.…

In an editorial titled “Can You Say ‘Sexist’?“, Newsweek’s Anna Quindlen brings up an incident from November of last year in an attempt to prove that McCain endorses calling women “bitches.” John McCain has been no advocate for women; when asked during the primaries, on the subject of Senator Clinton, “How do we beat the…

∅bama said today: Obama told the crowd that McCain and Palin spent most of the convention talking about their biographies. Palin’s bio is “compelling,” Obama said. The crowd booed. “No, it’s an interesting story.” More boos. “No, no, it is. I mean that sincerely. Mother, governor, moose shooter.” I thought ∅bama needed the votes of…

Dick Polman has a list of questions he believes should be asked of Sarah Palin, and one of them compares AIP founder Joe Vogler to Jeremiah Wright, without (IMO) laying a proper foundation that the two even knew each other, much less saw each other weekly for decades. …why do you continue to associate with…

By now everyone realizes that Google seeks world domination, and their new browser, Chrome, gives us the reason why we should make the switch. Apparently because Simon says:

From the looks of this outfit, it really and truly appears that the men’s fashion industry is involved in a conspiracy to upset Ann Althouse. (Via Glenn Reynolds, who properly calls the above “A MEN’S FASHION EEEEW!”) My conspiracy theory doesn’t take much imagination if we consider that Ann Althouse is the most outspokenly anti-shorts-on-men…

In this video ∅bama talks about the earmarks Governor Palin accepted. That has got to be a dumb move. From a guy who is smart enough to graduate from Harvard and teach at the University of Chicago. Because the next McCain ad is going to deal with all the earmarks ∅bama voted for. Including one…

H/T Hot Air

Speaking of libertarians and Sarah Palin, I can think of no fiercer libertarian pundit than Vin Suprynowicz. (He’s long been one of my favorites.) I have to say, it came as a surprise to me to see that he’s endorsing the McCain-Palin ticket. Not that he considers McCain a libertarian. But then, McCain is not…

Abe Greenwald has a post titled “Oprah Windbag” — the gist of which is that Oprah Winfrey is (surprise) putting politics ahead of her purported tear-driven concerns about children with Down’s Syndrome. Apparently, her concerns are so tear-soaked that her false eyelashes are affected: The web of “spiritual” gobbledygook around the Oprah Winfrey phenomenon is…

I did a couple of posts earlier in this election season on election fraud. You can read them at What Counts? and at Black Box Voting. So what is to be done to prevent this election from being stolen? Here is what a commenter at No Quarter suggests. I was advised to be very alerted…

No seriously. He gets it. But before everyone gets all smug and self-righteous about the Palin selection, remember where you live. You live in a nation of gun owners and hunters. You live in a country where one out of three girls get pregnant before they are 20. You live in a nation of C…
