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.

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.

5/28    Former White House press sect comes out with book bashing
        his old boss.  I feel like we're trapped in an alternate
        universe where I read the newspaper and think immediately
        'well OF COURSE I THOUGHT EVERYONE KNEW THIS STUFF' when
        I read the newspaper and that The Onion should give up, since
        their writers will never be able to keep up with the tragic

3/28    Political debates on NPR are worthless.  They really need a ref with
        fact verification powers or something.  I was listening to one this
        morning talking about the Cow Palace, and the debators couldn't even
        agree on basic facts, like if the Cow Palace operates in the black or
        not. It's impossible to draw any kind of conclusions from two lists
        of completely contradictory "facts."

1/24    Any mandarin speakers here?  When do you call the mother of a friend

11/29   Michelle Malkin has collected youtube profiles/images of questioners
        from last night's debate.  Several of the questioners are openly
        supporting Democrat candidates.  Don't bother telling me how much you
        hate Malkin.  Look at the evidence presented about how CNN is
        incompetent.
