US plot to nail Iran backfires

Once again it seems like the only thing that saves us from the Bush administration is their sheer incompetence. And the only thing that saves us from knowing about their incompetence is the mainstream media. The Bush Administration has been beating the war drums against Iran. On May 3, the US military under General Patraeus […]

Lt. Worf Endorses Obama

Lt. Worf from Star Trek has traveled back in time to endorse Barack Obama. Like Obama, Worf had an absent father and an unclear racial identity. Worf also compares the threat of Islamic extremism to the Borg. http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/05/i-lieutenant-worf-endorse-bara.php

McCain Appeases Bush?

A post here earlier today pointed out the hypocrisy of Bush comparing Obama to Nazi appeasers because Obama is in favor of negotiating with (some of) our enemies. But it just keeps getting more bizarre. Today McCain (who is largely running on his foreign policy experience) defended Bush’s remarks and further claimed that the reason […]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Today, NARAL announced their endorsement of Obama for president. Apparently, this didn’t sit well with Ellen R. Malcolm, the president of EMILY’s List, who said in a news release “I think it is tremendously disrespectful to Sen. (Hillary) Clinton … to not give her the courtesy to finish the final three weeks of the primary process.” Which is strange, […]

Hillary’s Path to the Nomination

Finally, someone outlines a legitimate victory plan for Hillary Clinton! http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/15/opinion/15collins.html If Clinton can execute this plan, she definitely deserves the nomination. All she has to achieve is: A big, big win in Kentucky next Tuesday. Ideally, Obama should be limited to no more than 100 votes. Oregon, scheduled for the same day, inexplicably breaks off and […]

Bush Appeases Himself?

George W. Bush, whose grandfather Prescott Bush made his family fortune by bankrolling the Nazi war machine, today compared Barack Obama to Nazi appeasers for wanting to use diplomacy. Bush also seems to forget that his only success in Iraq came from negotiations with insurgents (who are partners with Al Qaeda).

Moving Mountains

Republican Bob Schaffer is running for the Senate in Colorado. In order to impress voters about his love for Colorado (he’s originally from Ohio), he came out with a TV ad today that touts the fact that he proposed to his wife Maureen at the summit of Pikes Peak. There’s only one problem: in the […]

West Virginians, in their own words

http://www.236.com/news/2008/05/14/west_virginian_voters_greatest_1_6518.php I guess because he is another race, I’m sort of scared of the other race. Cuz we have so much conflict with them. I want someone who is a full-blooded American as president. I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist. I don’t think it’s being racist necessarily, they just […]

Unpopular Math

Today, Clinton campaign manager Terry McAuliffe said that Clinton has overcome Barack Obama in the total popular vote. Huh? Currently, Florida and Michigan don’t count (because they broke the rules), and Clinton trails by almost 700,000 votes. But Clinton claims that you can’t ignore all those voters in Florida and Michigan. Even so, if you count […]
