McCain’s Hate Speech Express

John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as “not one of us,” I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence. And this comes from somebody [...]

The Audacity of Hope

I finished The Audacity of Hope last night. It gives me hope for the future. OK, bad puns aside, the thing that struck me most about the book is that Obama comes across as much more centrist when he is isn’t boxed in by a 30 second time limit. It’s a shame that the attention [...]

Political Bumpers 2008

Political Bumpers is an unscientific study of the correlation between the cars Americans drive and the way we vote. Designated “spotters” scattered throughout the country record information about cars sporting political bumper stickers. Real-time reports are then available, detailing how types and makes of vehicles correspond to political leaning. I’m one of the spotters.

Behind the backline with Sen. McCain

This post about McCain’s ties to the gambling industry reminded me that I was at the same craps table with Sen McCain (and George Carlin) when I was in Vegas in Jan 2002. Original blog post on that trip. hat tip: Bore Me to Tears

President Bartlett and Obama have a talk

This is both funny, and true. Obama does need to start calling McCain on the constant stream of lies coming from his campaign. The people who want English to be the official language of the United States are uncomfortable with their leaders being fluent in it.

Palin had a Yahoo email account

Apparently wanna be VP Palin had a Yahoo email account and may have been conducting official business from that account in order to shield those conversations from open government laws. It would be a real shame if somebody gained access to that account. It would be even worse if that account were suddenly deleted, thereby [...]

Hot chicks dig Obama

McCain seems to think this is a bad thing. Yes, this is a real McCain campaign ad. It’s not a spoof. BTW, in a highly scientific poll of all the hot chicks that will talk to me, Mrs. ODonnellWeb confirmed her support for Obama. So apparently the thesis is true. Hot chicks do dig Obama. [...]

Politicizing the troops, McCain style

McCain tried, and mostly failed, to make an issue out the fact that Obama canceled a planned visit to a military hospital in Germany last week. It turns out that it didn’t matter either way what Obama did, because McCain had an ad ready to go blasting Obama for using the troops for political gain [...]

A vote for Nader is a vote for Obama?

If you are going to write letters to the editors of a paper 600 miles from where you live, at least try to have one fact right in letter. The people voting for Nader are not people that would otherwise vote for McCain. If anybody is wasting a vote is the author of this letter, [...]
