After yet another gonzo fundraising month, the real story is, of course, that Barack Obama is doomed, doomed I say, boy, doomed. Hot Air: All in all, the Obama campaign has had a good summer. However, they’re increasingly playing at a disadvantage. Obama won’t get the $84 million in public…
Judging by who everyone on the internet has declared is unsuitable to be Obama’s VP, I’ve determined the one acceptable candidate left. Hawaii Senator Danial Akaka. There are two major reasons that this choice works so brilliantly. Akaka doesn’t piss of PUMAs, Southerners who hate Northerners, Northerners who hate Southerners,…
After a few days of McCain’s gamble on negative ads, Barack Obama has been creeping steadily upwards in polling. The real question is, if McCain’s ads aren’t working, why isn’t Obama farther ahead? Ergo, the ads must be working and Obama is doomed to uncomfortably lead the polls for the…
Confederate Yankee, nee Bob Owens, actually debunks an Obama rumor today. Well, sort of. If you read the front page I linked to, he doesn’t actually debunk or even address the titular smear (which, incidentally, is one that I’d never even heard of) – that Barack Obama never registered for…
Oh my, the Focus on the Anus folks are really losing it this time. Watch Stuart Shepard, commentator on FotF’s “Stoplight” series, urge bible-beaters to pray for “rains of biblical proportions” during Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at Mile High Stadium in Denver. The hilarity was so embarrassing that Focus pulled…
In terms of the conservative constituency of the Republican Party, Sen. McCain is an opportunistic infection that threatens to ravage and destroy its defenseless body. Tragically for America, in the larger context of our national political life he still plays the role of the AIDS virus, masquerading as a republican…
PANDAGON EXCLUSIVE. MUST CREDIT PANDAGON. NEW AND EVEN MORE ACCURATE VERSION RELEASED. Republican operatives have put some information in my hot little hands that must get out. New records show that Barack Obama was not born on August 4, 1961. He was born nearly a month earlier, in Kenya, on…
People eat food when they see Barack Obama. This is unlike all other instances of human existence ever. The real problem here is that we’re getting past the “Obama’s shallow but popular stage” to the “local news does dumb interviews with people” stage. I understand that the last person who…
Honestly, is there ever bad news for John McCain? The Politco (I know, I know) runs a piece detailing seven warning signs for Barack Obama. Actually, it’s just one warning sign: everything that would turn this election Obama’s way is pretty much on the verge of going McCain’s way. Other…
What the fuck is wrong with you motherfuckers? That goes double for Larry Johnson. As far as I can tell, once this is added in, the story of Obama’s birth and citizenship is as follows: In August of 1961, Barack Obama was born. His mother, Stanley Ann Durham, found a…
