    So I have CNN on in the background while I'm working (the constant loop of daytime stories is generally easy to ignore...sorry CNN), when they cut to part of McCain's town hall meeting in Philadelphia (?).  I heard these two...more »

    Politico ran an article today that discusses the difficulties Democratic congressional candidates will have in abiding by the ban on accepting money from PACs and lobbyists implemented by Sen. Obama and the DNC.    In fact, the DCCC and the DSCC...more »

  • Drudge goes Pro-Obama?

    Politico is running a piece today that discusses Drudge's apparent support of Obama.  While folks on the left generally dismiss Drudge (he did a great job of sinking Gore and Kerry), the piece suggests that getting a pass from him...more »

  • Obama resigns Trinity

    CNN's reporting that Obama has resigned from Trinity Church (CNN got it from a blog).  If it's true, I'm not sure how I feel about it...sounds like he's putting power over principle.  Anyone else?...more »

  • MassDem - I feel horrible and rotten! I was without The Interwebs for a week (sad!) and missed all the drama. I totally left you hanging alone on this one, especially since you and I both spam posted on the SAME DAY (and I think to the same post??). I promise I didn't mean to ditch you...

    That said, I know you've expressed contrition and I regretted my spam posts within seconds of clicking send. However, I'd like to voice my frustration with the fact that you were banned without notice or warning for a first offense (for which you almost immediately apologized), but I wasn't banned and the posters who called us both names (I think we had a few F-bombs flung at us...you didn't name names, so I won't...even though I really want to) apparently weren't banned because they were criticizing you on your last blog. It seems a little hypocritical, and if TPM is going to set "standards" then they should be applied evenly. Just my two cents. Please don't ban me. I have my interwebs back and would like to use them.

  • Only one way to make sense of this - STALK HIM ON ELECTION DAY! If he goes anywhere near the polls pull out your digi-camera and call him a McCain voter! That'll learn'em!

  • I'm just bummed that no one caught the "baseketball" reference.

  • I thought it was a clever hybrid of ravenous and raging or raving.

    And I don't find that information useless - likely I will use it quite often. Like high school Trig.

  • I would love to see AmTrack in better shape. I'd use it all the time if it ran on time. If I'm gonna be late, I'd rather take the (cheaper) bus.

  • Exactly - I wonder if we'll see the evidence of this following the FISA vote this week.

  • Ha! That's how I heard "internet money" as I was reading it!

    And, let's be honest, it's not real people making these donations - it's little gnomes who work with the underpants gnomes. One takes your panties the other snags your wallet. Remember - step one, underpants. Step two - ? (wallets). Step three - profit (for Obama).

    You see, Obama's ability to bring parties together actually includes the gnomes who happily share their wealth with him. They just use "the internet" as a way to give Obama the money because they wouldn't be able to resist stealing his underpants, and he made it very clear that if they make him attend an event commando, he'll dunk them like baseketballs.

    You see? Mystery solved.

    (Worst explanation ever)
