The Taco Bell Ad
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…
It’s Always Sunny In McCainadelphia
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…
Broken, Soulless People
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…
A Book Nobody Ever Expected To Be Written
So, David Freddoso wrote a book that declares that Obama is a dangerous liberal. Like the books declaring that Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Ted Kennedy, Michael Moore, Harry Reid and others are all dangerous liberals, the crux of…
Polling!
Except for the polls showing him gaining, Obama is losing. Also notice that the latter poll comes from Zogby, who in a race between candidate A and candidate B shows a surprising strength for Eddie Murphy. To show you how ridiculous polling is, just scroll down Survey USA’s front page.…
So will it be Evan Bayh for Obama’s VP?
Bil Browning of Indiana-based The Bilerico Project’s going out on a limb and makes a case that the Hoosier U.S. Senator is the one, and it will happen on Wednesday: 1. The Olympics start on Friday and run until the Democratic convention starts. He won’t want to compete with the…
White supremacists: Obama’s boosting our movement
Here’s another one of those “ain’t that America” moments that makes you proud. With the country poised to possibly elect a black man to the presidency, neo-Nazis and white supremacists hail this as the beginning of a resurgence of their cause. Tom Prater, Florida spokesman for the white power group…
There’s Something Afoot!
The Washington Post’s ombudsman realizes there’s something wrong with the paper’s general election coverage. The Washington Post’s ombudsman being a fucking moron, the problem is that Barack Obama gets more pictures in the paper. First, photos. Richard Benedetto, a retired USA Today White House reporter who teaches journalism and political…
Oh! how near are genius and madness!
So when Obama didn’t call himself a symbol, there was a minor frenzy of recriminations. Never mind that he was almost certainly misquoted – he said several words that could, if reassembled like a jigsaw puzzle, be construed as arrogant. Whoops: “If I win this campaign,” McCain said, “historians will…
The Hysterical Bitch Offensive
It says something about misogyny and presidential politics that one of the most sexist attacks thus far has been launched against the male Democratic candidate…and that it’s considered just a “tough” ad that, through watching cable news seems to be mainly about whether or not Britney Spears should be involved…
