Let’s say, hypothetically, that McCain had fundraising and personal friendship links to a guy who had once been the leader of a group that bombed abortion clinics. No one was killed in those bombings, because warnings were called in, and due to procedural misconduct, the guy never did any time even though he admits […]

Interesting article in the New Yorker on Obama’s Chicago rise. Some of his early supporters from the south side seem pretty disillusioned by the socialist Messiah.
Preckwinkle said, “My view is you have to bring your constituency along with you. Granted, you have to make some tough decisions. Granted, sometimes you have to make decisions […]

An interesting item from the BET awards :
“If we all register and vote, we will have the first black president in the history of America,” Sean “Diddy” Combs told the crowd Tuesday at the Shrine Auditorium before chanting “Obama or Die” - a declarative remix of his neutral “Vote or Die” motto from the 2004 […]

Rumors are flying around the internet about a supposed very damaging videotape of Michelle Obama. Of course, they’re just rumors at this point, but spreading unverified damaging rumors about people you don’t like is what blogs are for, hehe.

Another roundup of rumors
Some cold water for fairness’ sake

It begins.
The deal prompted one of her chief advisers, Harold Ickes, a member of the rules committee himself, to declare that Mrs. Clinton’s fight may not be over, even though Mr. Obama’s advisers say he is only days away from gaining enough delegates to claim the nomination.
“Mrs. Clinton has instructed me to reserve her rights […]

It’s OK if Indy 4 sucks, and it’ll be OK too if I ultimately decide that GTA IV is something of a letdown (The verdict isn’t in yet, but I’m about halfway and I find myself hoping something.. different happens before the end). I’m not even going to watch the Olympics or […]

I have been enjoying this election year SO very much, considering that I think that all three of the possible winners are impossible to vote for.
Jeremiah Wright though, is my MVP so far. My analysis of the recent situation is that Wright has made so much money off of his “racist AmeriKKKa” schtick, and […]

The Democrats are so amazingly good at this it’s scary.
Recent polling shows that almost 30 percent of Clinton supporters and nearly 20 percent of Obama supporters say that if their preferred candidate doesn’t win the nomination, they’ll vote Republican.
The Democrats are tearing each other apart, and the Republicans have the perfect candidate in McCain that […]

Christopher Hitchens is not a fan of Obama and his pastor.
Look at the accepted choice of words for the ravings of Jeremiah Wright: controversial, incendiary, inflammatory. These are adjectives that might have been—and were—applied to many eloquent speakers of the early civil rights movement. (In the Washington Post, for Good Friday last, the liberal Catholic […]

From Obama’s speech today:
And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory […]

Via Reason, an article by George McGovern on personal choice.
Since leaving office I’ve written about public policy from a new perspective: outside looking in. I’ve come to realize that protecting freedom of choice in our everyday lives is essential to maintaining a healthy civil society.
Why do we think we are helping adult consumers by […]

If he’s lying about this, what else is he lying about?
Within the last month, a top staff member for Obama’s campaign telephoned Michael Wilson, Canada’s ambassador to the United States, and warned him that Obama would speak out against NAFTA, according to Canadian sources.
The staff member reassured Wilson that the criticisms would only be campaign […]

Senator Barack Obama’s campaign backed away from statements made last week affirming the Senator’s support for decriminalizing marijuana, after being confronted with inconsistencies in his past and present campaigns on the issue by the Washington Times.
A spokesman for Obama’s campaign blamed confusion over the meaning of decriminalization for the inconsistencies, and said that while Obama […]

Suppose, for the sake of argument, that Hillary and McCain win their respective nominations, that Obama is not Hillary’s running mate, and that Ron Paul is running as an independent.
Who gets your vote in November under that scenario, which seems increasingly likely to me?

Is Obama really a different kind of politician?
Lately, Barack Obama has been quoting John F. Kennedy: “The world is changing. The old ways will not do.” For a few hours the other day, I was starting to think he really meant it.
On Thursday, The Washington Times reported that in 2004, as a candidate for the […]

McCain wins the Republican nomination, pissing off a lot of Republicans who hate his guts. Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, because Obama can’t out-dirty-trick a Clinton, much less two of them. It’s seen as dirty by fans of Obama.
McCain wins, due to some Democratic Obama fans being pissed at Hillary and the general […]
