The McCain campaign has been gleefully deriding the Obama campaign for reputedly throwing away tens of thousands of small American flags from their convention. Fox News was on the scene to make sure this trip got wide circulation “The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there,” Fox News reported, “and they […]

“I mean, c’mon! They must think you’re stupid!” Actually, I’m pretty sure they do… He also said of Sarah Palin: “Don’t be fooled,” Obama told the crowd surrounding him in a large barn. “John McCain’s party, with the help of John McCain, has been in charge” for nearly eight years. “I know the governor of Alaska has been saying she’s […]

There were two for me. The runner-up was this one: Tom Ridge calling Senator McCain “John Bush”. Priceless. However, the best one was this. It came just after the Republicans showed a shameless, exploitative “tribute” to 9/11, thereby using thousands of dead Americans as a backdrop for their own political gain. Shameless. Olbermann nails it perfectly. I’m just sayin’…

A week ago, Gallup had McCain up by 2. Today, down by 8: It’s also the first time either of them has hit 50%. Rasmussen has him at 51%. Also, I had read that some bloggers were questioning whether or not Republican vice-presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, was the actual mother of the baby she had in April, Trig. What I […]

This is over the top stuff right here, kids. My friend, Doug, a former inhabitant of the Twin Cities, sent me a link to Glen Greenwald’s reporting for Salon.com on multiple raids that have happened over the past couple of days of peaceful protesters in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area for the Republican National Convention. Greenwald’s most excellent (and multiply-updated) Salon […]

This edition of Who Said THAT???! brings us a quote from regarding the choice of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s vice presidential running mate. HINT: It comes from someone from her very own state. “She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?…Look at what she’s done to this state. What would […]

Obama’s speech last night was watched by 38 MILLION people. That’s huge. Very, very huge actually. Only 28 million people watched the closing ceremony of the Olympics this year, the biggest night of the entire Games. This is good for the Dems because it gave them a chance to show the country that their candidate is tough, smart, and down-to-earth. […]

Pundits have been criticizing Senator Obama for going on vacation now, rather than later during the Republican convention when he’s unlikely to get much press anyway. BTW, here’s a shot of the good Senator chillin’ in the “foreign, exotic” locale of Hawaii (yes, NPR’s Cokie Roberts actually called the state of Hawaii “foreign” and “exotic”“): More vacation photos HEREBut I […]

244 days. 244 days. 244 days. I have to keep reminding myself we only have to put up with this buffoon for 244 more days. January 20, 2009 can NOT come fast enough… I’m just cringin’…

Okay, this is some scary shit. Greg Pallast is an investigative reporter from the BBC and he’s teamed up with Ted Rall, a man who writes some pretty nasty little liberal cartoons, to peel back the layers and show how the 2008 election may just be already rigged to let John McCain win. When you look at how absolutely abysmally […]

More incisive and spot-analysis from Rachel Maddow on McCain’s claim that he’s the supportiest troop supporter guy EVER! She makes the excellent point (repeatedly on her radio show as well) that McCain doesn’t seem to be able to hold the country’s (and the media’s) attention long enough for any of his gaffes or complete and outright misrepresentations (lies) to actually […]
