Such earnest helpful people. I wonder how many will be touring Ohio for Obama? When Obama said he wasn’t going to lose this election he wasn’t kidding.

The debate started, and Sarah Palin is holding her own. I’m not liveblogging, although I might weigh in later. 9:20 — After Biden slammed McCain’s health care plan as “the ultimate bridge to nowhere,” it didn’t faze her. She came right back smiling, and said that McCain didn’t promise one thing in one place and…

While I’m waiting for the Palin-Biden debate to start, I figured I might as well address the urgent issue of Sarah Palin’s gay friend. Normally, this wouldn’t be such a big deal, but as Governor Palin is being spun as a major homo-hatin’, bible-totin’ bigot, I guess it comes as a surprise to some that…

Right now, I’m waiting for Sarah Palin and Joe O’Biden to do their thing. I see that longtime commenter Portia is also waiting. And she has emailed Sean Kinsell with her thoughts: Right now I’m waiting for the debate to see how she performs. NOT to make up my mind. As I said, it’s pretty…

This is rather curious. Obama is supposed to produce his birth certificate to prove he is an American citizen. Instead of producing the paper, he is fighting the suit. From Atlas Shrugs. Rather than just product the birth certificate (is he trying to hide something?) Obama’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss. One of…

Yep. Obama seems to be getting money from a lot of strange places. An auditor for the Federal Election Commission is attempting to have his bosses seek a formal investigation into the collection by the Obama for President campaign of more than $200 million in potentially illegal political donations, including millions of dollars of illegal,…

Sen. Claire McCaskill has high praise for Senator Joe Biden. Joe she said, “has a tendency to talk forever and sometimes say things that are kind of stupid.” Thank the Maker he is not a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Cross Posted at Power and Control

“An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic.” — Thomas Jefferson I’m sorry, but at the risk of sounding cynical, I’m glad the Green Party exists, and that Cynthia McKinney is running as its candidate for president. Because, while I find it disturbing that people who believe in conspiracy theories like…

During a discussion last February involving the FHA, Senator Byrd reminded his fellow senators of… of… of…. well, of something. “…senators should address one other … how?… not…. in the second person….. but.. rather… in the third person is the senator… from Timbuktu aware of that ….rule? is the senator from West Virginia aware of…

Remember the 1987 crash? It began on a day known as Black Monday: The crash began in Hong Kong, spread west through international time zones to Europe, hitting the United States after other markets had already declined by a significant margin. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped by 508 points to 1739 (22.6%).[1] By…

CERN Rap from Will Barras on Vimeo H/T The Pale Scot

In other earthbreaking campaign “news,” I see that John McCain stands accused of being sarcastic. Imagine! And consider the timing! This blatant sarcasm comes right after children were lovingly made to sing tender and loving paens to Obama. How mean and vicious and cruel can McCain get? MORE: You think I’m kidding? Watch this. If…

Rochelle Riley of the Detroit Free Press does not like Sarah Palin very much. She not only disagrees with her, but she thinks she is stupid, and above all is making women look bad: As our economy teeters on the brink of disaster, Gov. Sarah Palin has spent the past two days cramming for a…

Keeping up with Britain? When I saw this story which Drudge earlier, I thought it involved the United States. Smokers buying cigarettes will from Wednesday be confronted with a series of gruesome images printed on the packets showing how tobacco damages health. The pictures, which show cancerous lungs and throats as well as rotting teeth,…

I know you can’t make this stuff up because you don’t have to. In an imaginary world where liberal journalists are held to the same standards as everyone else, Ifill would be required to make a full disclosure at the start of the debate. She would be required to turn to the cameras and tell…

Another Clinton backer endorses McCain. As Barack Obama and John McCain battle for the Hispanic vote, a leading Latino backer of Hillary Clinton is crossing party lines to support the Republican presidential nominee. In an interview Thursday, Miguel D. Lausell, a Puerto Rican businessman and longtime Democratic activist and fund-raiser, came out for Sen. McCain.…

What a community organizer does. Or in the words of Stanley Kurtz: A community organizer helps get high risk loans for low credit customers. What ACORN does. What is ACORN then? An organization full of community organizers committed to mortgage fraud and vote fraud. Some real nice friends that Obama has. Cross Posted at Power…
