Since the standards for reporting a peaceful assembly of protesters has been, shall we say, revised downward, I thought I'd offer some snappy patter over protests past. Now, I'm no Edward R.

Do I title this post "Weapons of Mass Distraction" or "Two-Minute Hate?"Remember this big of comedic gold from subretard Seth MacFarlane?Substitute "Rush Limbaugh" in for "9/11," and you have the Anointed One's current strategy for deflecting criticism.

Take Russian LOLcats, recaption them in English, and you have one of the most brilliantly clever things I've seen on the Intertubes in a while.Sly, subversive, and a potent reminder of the stultifying effects of Collectivism on human beings.Was it intended that way?

I'm paraphrasing here, but the best comment I've heard re: Obama vis-a-vis Blagojevich runs something along the lines that so many Obamatons are so completely unwilling to even acknowledge the hint of a spectre of a looming presence of the possibility that the Messiah comes from an irrevocably corrupt political [...]
Still waiting for the obligatory Obama "This isn't the Rod Blagojevich I thought I knew" statement.It seems to me that the more I hear about Illinois/Chicago politics, the more I feel like America has its very own banana republic within its borders.Here's the question for me: Blagojevich was hoping for [...]

It's not over.It's not over by a long shot.I see the signs for Obama everywhere; it would seem that I am adrift and alone in a sea of HopeyChanginess. Iowa, from all outward appearances, would seem to be a lost cause. It may very well be. I intend, however, to [...]
And you will rejoice. Or else.
I would hope that even the most stalwart Obama supporter might find it even the teensiest bit disturbing that the guy who dares to ask the Annointed One a tough question is the one who gets crucified, while the answer is as studiously avoided as [...]

Here's an interesting documentary that alleges some, shall we say, irregular activities during the Democratic Primary process. I'm still watching it at this point, but I am disturbed at what I've seen so far. No wonder so many Hillary supporters are pissed.

The honor goes to Patterico, for his commentary on McCain's suspension of his campaign to to to Washington to work on the big bailout, and Obama's refusal:

When your own grass-roots support won't cut it, hire an ad firm to fake the whole thing.

I've tried in the past few days to combat (or at least mock) the anti-Palin smear machine, while hopefully leaving room for honest questions about her. If you're on the fence in this election, I'll ask you to read the following pieces:
1) Separating Palin fact from Palin fiction
2)Sullivan Implies Palin [...]
The Palin-a-thon continues!
I had an interesting thought while mowing the lawn today. We can see that the Left's (and thus, the media's) hatred of Ms. Palin is actually having a profoundly negative effect on their cause, so why not hasten it along? Why not feed ever more outrageous rumors into [...]
But it easily could be. If anybody has a handle on how the media has beclowned itself with respect to Ms. Palin, it's Jim Treacher.

So I've made my first ever contribution to a political campaign. I can't believe I sent money to Maverick. My head hurts.

I've made no secret of the fact that McCain was not my choice for the Republican nominee; he is, however, the choice I was given.
