        http://www.economist.com/world/unitedstates/displayStory.cfm?story_id=12516666&source=features_box_main
        \_ Sounds great.  Are they atoning yet for endorsing Bush?
           \_ I thought they endorsed Kerry last time around.
               \_  Well they definitely endorsed W in 2000.

10/29   What time is Obama's TV infomercial tonight in the Bay Area?  Thx.
        \_ Out of curiosity, are you undecided?  How fun is it to watch
           Obama recite the same stuff he's been reciting for what feels
           like an eternity at this point?
           \_ I'm undecided between voting for Obama and not voting for either.
           \_ I'm undecided between voting for Obama and voting for neither.

10/15   Unscientific poll on cnn's page has 72% saying Obama won.
        Has the fat lady all but sung?
        \_ It's over, unless there's a major game-changing moment between
           now and the election.  -tom
           \_ hmm.. I smell WMD in Iran.  Let's bomb Iran and launch a
              preemptive strike against Iran.  That would swing sentiment in

9/18    What an energy expert!

        Christ, has she been taking lessons from Miss Teen S. Carolina?

        \_ Keep laughing. It's not WHAT you say but HOW you say it.
           Keep laughing. You're going to regret it.

9/20    "Moose Shooting Mama", a country music about Sarah Palin, is
        #4 most popular country download this week. She makes a
        great VP, yeehaw!!!
        \_ She's going to make an even better wtf footnote when Obama
           wins.
           \_ History has proven over and over again that ignorance,

9/11    best lipstip on pig controversy comment
        http://undercoverblackman.blogspot.com/2008/09/useless-irony-of-day.html
        it is almost getting so bad i want to confront McCain supporters with
        WHAT ARE YOU THINKING????????????????????????????????
        \_ if Obama didnt have an inkling that statement would cause a
           stir especially after the Lipstick and bulldog comment,

9/12    The latest blatant lies from McCain
        http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/belittling_palin.html
        \_ Facts don't matter to 1/3 of the voters. Emotions do.
           I'm rooting for Obama but I know McCain is going to win. Oh well.
           \_ *sad face*
           \_ If the election was held today, I think Obama would just squeak
	...

9/10    McCain is morally unfit to be president
        http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/09/mccains-integri.html
        \_ From the guy saying we should interview Palin's OB to find out if
           Trig is really her baby?
           \_ So you've got nothing to respond to his charges.
              \_ No, just that everything that comes out of Sullivan's face

8/29    McCain only met with Palin once.

        The facts on Palin are going to be gold for the Dems:
        http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12987.html
        \_ "Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9000 with
           zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the

8/22    I find Biden uninspiring
        \_ Biden was my first choice for President. I voted for Hilary in
           the primary. The Biden choice makes me likely to vote for
           Obama, even though I voted for McCain in the  2000 primary.
           So it got him at least one vote.
           \- is it because of the difference between hillary and omaba
	...

8/21    What's the big deal with arugula anyway?  When did this become a
        talking point?  I like arugula.
        \_ Please give more context, thanks.
           \_ Apparently the McCain campaign keeps bringing this up.
              \_ if this election is won or lost on whether McCain can convince
                 Americans that Obama is a weird arugula
	...

2/10    I like Woz, and I like iWoz, but let me tell ya, no one worships
        him because he has the charisma of an highly functioning
        Autistic person. Meanwhile, everyone worships Jobs because
        he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself
        as God. I guess this is not the first time in history. Case in
        point, Caesar, Napolean, GWB, etc. Why is it that people
	...

3/26    Things I learned from History: Lincoln was photographed with
        killer. Lincoln had 3 male lovers (he was bisexual!).
        Kennedy had an affair with a Nazi spy. Elenore Roosevelt
        was a lesbian!!!  Nerdy looking Ben Franklin was a suspected
        killer and quite a ladies man. WTF???
        \_ Did it mention anything about Washington and the cherry tree?
	...

12/4    Why aren't there as many comedians making fun of Obama as
        there are making fun of GWB?
        \_ he's not as ridiculous.
        \_ No one was making fun of Dubya after only one year in office either.
           In fact, making fun of him after 9/11 was likely to get you lynched.
           Wait until O's second term, then people will really start to light
	...

4/9     I've been reading articles about piracy and it's not really an issue
        of there being just two dozen ships to patrol a large area. It
        only really takes one ship, if it's the right ship (an aircraft
        carrier). The Navy should be using helicopters and ship-based
        aircraft (e.g., Harriers) to patrol and respond to these incidents
        and then you only need a couple of destroyers to perform

11/6    How a photographer can change opinion, subtlely via lighting,
        composition, contrast, color:
        http://strobist.blogspot.com/2008/11/vote-and-consider-uplighting.html
        \_ A couple years ago someone posted a link on motd which was a
           headshot of Dubya taken with a wide-angle lens at close-up distance.
           He looked stupid in that picture.  The photog did it on purpose
	...

11/4    Gee.  I have always hoped that the first black POTUS would be Powell.
        Now this 47-yr-old dude stole the opportunity created by Dubya.  In a
        way Dubya is like Gobachev -- they both instrumented their parties'
        demise.
        \_ Powell fucked us all by backing Dubya in saying there were WMDs in
           Iraq.
	...

8/20    Get ready for President McCain!
        \_ if dubya can be President, anyone can
           \_ And reelected, at that!
              \_ ugh i hope not.
        \_ الله أَكْ!
