It’s one thing to cut off local stations for asking questions, it’s another thing entirely to kick out prominent newspapers from your press corps.
The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers from its plane for the final days of its blitz across battleground states — and all three endorsed Sen. John McCain for [...]

Oh Noes! Irrelevant People Will Be Very Upset If Obama Loses!

You cannot make this ish up. Sage words from Erica Jong:
“The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged.”
“My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried. Naomi Wolf calls me every day. Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can’t cure her ailing [...]

VERY VERY IMPORTANT! WE MUST SEE THEM NOW!

The Obligatory “Obama’s Aunt Lives In A Tenement Slum In Boston” Post

Because it’s not that I think that Obama plans on leaving his dear aunt and long lost uncle in such dire straits, he was just waiting until he could use some of my money to help then out.
Barack Obama has lived one version of the American Dream that has taken him to the steps of [...]

Obama’s Secret Piggy Bank Confuses Me

For some reason Obama is raising money for his transition to the White House.
The Obama campaign has opened a new fund-raising front, I’ve learned, creating a nonprofit entity to bankroll Barack Obama’s presidential transition operation, quietly in business for months.
The organization is called the “Obama Transition Project.” The money is being raised from individual donors [...]

WARNING, WARNING, WARNING. Somebody Please Tell Barack Obama That The United States Already Has The Most “Progressive” Tax System In The World

So says a French Foundation that is an offshoot of the United Nations (I don’t think they’re part of the FoxNews, Drudge Report, John McCain cabal).
Barack “Randall Flagg” Obama may need a refresher course in just how much we punish the rich already.
Barack Obama’s admission that his policies would “spread the wealth around” has ignited [...]

People Who Lived Under Communism Don’t Like Obama

What do you know, people who risked their lives to flee communism don’t like what Obama has been saying as of late.
John McCain threw up his Florida fire wall today: a million Cuban Americans who see Barack Obama as a combination of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez and any other Latin leader who ever nationalised a [...]

Hamas Hearts Obama?

This is interesting.

This is interesting on two fronts;first you have video here of a Palestinian phone-banking (although he says he’s doing it on his own accord), second this is AP footage. LGF correctly points out that there is no way in high holy hell the AP would have been able to [...]

WSJ Gets A Little Snarky On Obama

Remember the famous (or infamous) letter Obama wrote back in 2007 calling for someone to do something or another about subprime lending? WSJ takes up the obvious argument that McCain actually sponsored legislation as opposed to just writing a letter, and adds a bit of snark to boot.
Mr. Obama replied that he “never promoted Fannie [...]

Barney Frank Plays The One Card Obama Can’t Wear Out

That would be the gay card.
Frank yesterday dismissed McCain’s words as “an appeal to prejudice” that he said reminded him of past Republican efforts to raise voter concerns about the prospect of congressmen Charles Rangel and John Conyers, who are black, becoming committee chairs.
“I’m flattered by this,” said Frank, who is gay. “But I don’t [...]
