A Modest(ly Elitist) Proposal

The Conspiracy To Deny Hillary the Presidency
I saw this post and realized it demanded further investigation. This is what I dug up and I think it demands serious analysis. My investigations have confirmed the real reason behind Hillary's supposed "defeat": There is a massive worldwide conspiracy to deny her...more »

The Wright Amount of Breathing Space
Were those attacks on Obama coming from his former minister? Sounded like it to me. It made me realize that the best resolution of the Wright situation for Obama could actually be to have a dramatic public falling-out between himself and Rev. Wright. ...more »

Non-Partisan FactCheck.org? Not Quite
I have seen repeated MSM references to FactCheck.org this election cycle as a non-partisan organization, most recently on a CNN blog attacking Obama's comments on John McCain's 100-years pledge with a bit of extra gusto. So I thought I better do a little...more »

Dictatorship of the Commentariat (2nd Attempt)
Maybe I was just drunk last night, but it seemed that, as usual, the media commentariat entirely missed the point of what happened in this debate. <p>Obama, often visibly frustrated with the lines of questioning being thrown his way, tended to...more »

Straight talk derailed: Critical Media Coverage of McCain Surfaces in Unlikely Places
John McCain has been subject to some slightly more intense media scrutiny from some interesting places today. The American Banker (subscription) states that his “views on the housing crisis appear to be evolving quickly” before pointing out that McCain previously stated a desire...more »

Kondracke: Obama Wins ‘Petraeus Primary’
Morton Kondracke's column in today's Roll Call commends Barack Obama for "his agile performance" in recent congressional hearings on Iraq. I believe it's subscription only so I provide generous excerpts: "Of the three presidential candidates displaying their intellectual wares in questioning...more »

3 Key Points on Obama's Economic Speech
I wanted to highlight three points from Obama's economic speech which marked his approach to the crisis as vastly superior to the alternatives put forth by the other presidential candidates. This speech should put any questions regarding Obama’s policy substance...more »

How would it help Republicans if after 8 years of telling us we have to give up our civil liberties and fight expensive wars in Iraq so they can make us safer here at home, Bin Laden (who they didn't show much interest in capturing/killing) manages to land another body blow on America? I think this is wishful thinking on the republitards part that this would benefit them... Why wouldn't the reaction be "wait a minute, I thought these people were keeping us safe... ? what the fuck?" That was the deal right - plunder the country's treasury, enrich your friends, screw up the economy, etc, just don't let us be attacked again. Never mind that they were asleep at the wheel pre-9/11 anyway, if they don't hold up their end of the bargain all bets are off and public reaction isn't quite so predictable, no?

Unfortunately there is no remedy to high gas prices - it's not a cold, it's cold macroeconomics.

Isn't it obvious? McCain is a North Vietnamese Sleeper Agent whose mission is to infiltrate the highest levels of US government, become president and complete the communist victory over America.
Take that 24!

McCain: "I want a fair fight in this election. Alright Obama, now tie the arm with all that money behind your back. Okay, now we're ready to go...
"Oh, wait, I forgot to mention - I have my Tiny, my 130-pound rottweiler here with me and he has been known to bite."
Not again, Republitards. We know you're gonna fight dirty.

A Question for one of John McCain's Town Hall meetings: What's the point of cutting taxes for rich people if they don't bother to pay them anyway?

I'm looking forward to the response. Something along the lines of the McCain campaign using Cindy McCain as a human shield to avoid answering valid questions about whether McCain is violating the same campaign finance laws that he helped write. I have complete confidence in the Obama campaign.

Not the ones who made the money - just the ones who inherited it. Never trust the generation that was born into money to be any good with it.
