The McCain and Obama campaigns finally agree on something — this upcoming cover of The New Yorker magazine is “tasteless and offensive”: via Politico full size image The artist defends his cover art Personally, I find the cover funny, although I’m not sure if everyone will get the humor. The bottom line is that The […]
The election statistics site FiveThirtyEight has a new (and wonderful) set of statistics. They have collected the number of times that Obama has been compared strongly to other politicians. For example, there are two articles about how Obama is the new Bush (that would be the current president Bush — there are three articles on […]

Two interesting columns that point out that the problem isn’t our politicians, the problem is us: Robert Samuelson writes in Real Clear Politics about how politicians are instantly punished if they dare to mention any real issues. For example, he discusses our aging population and increasing immigration, and the resulting ballooning demands on social services. […]
After Obama’s capitulation on FISA and retroactive immunity for phone companies that illegally tapped your phone, we have a new campaign poster for his presidential campaign: Of course, McCain didn’t even bother to vote, as usual. And then he had the nerve to trash Obama for his vote, even though McCain supported the FISA bill. […]
In a (an) hilarious satire of the media’s obsession with political gaffes, a blogger reports that Obama has ignited a scandal today by saying “a historic challenge” instead of his earlier phrase “an historic challenge”. They nail Rove, with the (satirical) quote: This is a major turnaround of great concern to the American voters. Obama […]
The liberal blogosphere was aflame with new accusations that Obama is trying to win the 2008 presidential election. Here are just a few of the blog quotes: Obama is “betraying the Democratic Party’s losing tradition.” “Barack Obama seems to be making a very calculated attempt to win over 270 electoral votes. He must be stopped.” “Any […]
George Lucas won’t answer the question of whether or not Darth Vader is an appropriate name for Dick Cheney, other than to say that Cheney seems to like the nickname (some people think he came up with it himself). But he did say that Obama is definitely a Jedi Knight. “I would say that’s reasonably […]
In USA Today, conservative idiot Jonah Goldberg attacks Obama’s patriotism (again) based on something Obama said. Well, um, except that Obama was repeating something that Reagan said during his inauguration speech. I’m just happy that conservatives are willing to hold Reagan to the same patriotic standards as they hold Democrats. It is worth reading the […]
The McCain campaign (and much of the mainstream media) keeps trying to keep alive the myth of McCain the Maverick, but it is clearly on life support, and getting a bit crazy. In a conference call today, a McCain spokeswoman tried to compare McCain’s bipartisan cred with Obama’s, using the example of immigration reform: It’s […]
On a McCain campaign conference call Thursday morning, Republican Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas accused Obama of being all talk and no action when it comes to working across the aisle: John McCain’s a maverick. He’s fought for a bipartisan fashion. I think that the biggest thing I’ve seen from Barack Obama is a willingness, […]
