Speaking of Snark...
dead on
...as usual. Mark Steyn:
Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are more or less the same age, but Governor Palin has run a state and a town and a commercial fishing operation, whereas (to reprise a famous line on the Rev Jackson) Senator Obama ain’t run nothin’ but his mouth.

Poo-Flinging Koz'tards
flinging… poo
Okay, I just have to diary about this, although in many ways this falls into the “none of our business category”.
But it appears that Pallin’s last child, a baby with Down’s syndrome, may not be hers. It may be that of her teenage daughter.
They then link an article in the Anchorage Daily News about Palin’s pregnancy being a surprise. The article does not mention her daughter, other than in passing as ‘other children.’
The leap appears to have sprung from Inky99‘s fevered brain fully formed.
Comments are equally ...erm, Reality based:
ONMG!!
I Hope she gets caught!
This is same as John Edwards!by dentalfloss on Fri Aug 29, 2008 at 04:23:11 PM PDT
Then Inky99 has second thoughts, polls his readers as to whether he ought to go after the story, they overwhelmingly say, “No, it’s a private matter and you should delete this diary” but leaves it up, justifying it by saying:
Normally I’d say this is a totally private issue for them, but seeing as how she’s quite willing to butt into the private lives of every other American woman, I think it’s fair game.
*sigh*
Just a Small Town Guurl from Some Podunk State
uh huh
Nuanced Restraint
layers of BS
Andy McCarthy makes several good points: RTWT.
A couple that might be useful filed to hand.
Characterizing Weatherman as “an American Red Army,” Ayers summed up the organization’s ideology as follows: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.”
In his autobiography, Fugitive Days: A Memoir, Ayers recalled, he posed the question: “How far are you willing to take that step into what I consider the abyss of violence? And we really never did, except for that moment in the townhouse.… I actually think destroying property in the face of that kind of catastrophe is so — restrained. And I don’t see it as a big deal.
Uh-bama launched his political career from Ayers home; he was appointed the Chairman of the Board of the Annenberg Challenge, for which Ayers wrote the grant; Uh-bama served as Directors of the Woods Fund with Ayers [who still serves].
Oh, Niiiice
tactical error?
Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies—that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same.
Speaking of zero experience Uh-bama . . .

Uh-bama - the Lost Years
Reportage in these two papers is particularly significant because Obama’s early political career-the time between his first campaign for the Illinois State Senate in 1995 and his race for U.S. Senate in 2004-can fairly be called the “lost years,” the period Obama seems least eager to talk about, ...
What they portray is a Barack Obama sharply at variance with the image of the post-racial, post-ideological, bipartisan, culture-war-shunning politician familiar from current media coverage and purveyed by the Obama campaign. As details of Obama’s early political career emerge into the light, his associations with such radical figures as Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, Reverend James Meeks, Bill Ayers, and Bernardine Dohrn look less like peculiar instances of personal misjudgment and more like intentional political partnerships. At his core, in other words, the politician chronicled here is profoundly race-conscious, exceedingly liberal, free-spending even in the face of looming state budget deficits, and partisan.
...state senator Donne Trotter..’s claim that Obama was just a “white man in black face.”...To the extent that Obama can be accused of having shaky “black credentials,” that very accusation pushes him to practice race-conscious politics all the more energetically.
...The Defender quotes Obama as saying that, “while everyone agrees that the Hispanic population has grown, they cannot expand by taking African-American seats.”
...In an essay published in 1988 entitled “Why Organize? Problems and Promise in the Inner City,” Obama tried to make room for both “accommodation and militancy” in black political engagement. He wrote, RTWT
Oh! My!!

Does this make The Old Man a little more attractive?

Yeah - I've had it with Dick Van Patten, too.
is he freakin’ kidding?!?!?
Stream of reaction to Uh-Bama’s Barachanalia
[What was up with The El in that Chicago street scene? Amateur...]
First 20 seconds—already lost control. 3-4 “Thank You"s is nice, but 27?! Now yer just begging.
Hillary… inspiration… to be a pathetic cuckolded wife?
[Biden has weird eyes]
[Is the tie red or pink?]
Oh gad—more Miserablism.
Keeping the American Promise alive? By taxing the shiite out of the working middle class? Good t’inkin’.
Facts mean nothing to this fella, do they…
Ok - independence = Good. uhm… no, wait… Independence = BAD. Independence = Failure.
“Progress” defined, eh? [The POTUS does not create jobs.] Oh yeah - raising capital gains tax is really gonna encourage investment and entrepreneurship and jobs. uh. huh.
If you know Granny is watching tonight [from under that bus] don’t speak of her in the third person.
“Government should not solve all our problems.” ok - but is shouldn’t do all that other stuff. Check the Constitution, Mr Constitutional perfesser. Man this “Change” bit is just recycled Dem. boilerplate. “A chicken in every pot.”
“I will raise taxes on all your employers and you 95% won’t need tax cuts cuz you won’t have jobs.”
Yeah—what is this 10 years bit. You planning something, Pal?
Oh, look - he’s suddenly for drilling, and coal, and nukes.
You gonna get in with a wrench and help auto companies re-tool? I think not.
Where ya gonna get that $150 billion? hmm???? And all that “education” money? And that money for the “young committed to serve?” And all that “health care?” Oh lawks - we’re gonna hafta go to India for health care…
[Dang - does he think we’re electing him King or what?]
Line item veto? No Pork? uh huh. Like Nancy said.
ooooooo—wasn’t that “Fathers take more responsibility” raaaaacist?
That’s a debate I’m ready to have—so long as it’s still on teleprompter.
Uhm… you weren’t in the Senate after 9/11, Binky. [11/2004]
.....and you are no John Kennedy.
The Promise of threadbare Promises. ..about “Fresh Ideas.”
Dangerous ground talking about “a record.”
It’s not about me—which is why I had a giant set built to make me look like MLK…
Knocking the “same old players” and choosing Biden? Backed by Durbin, Kennedy, Clinton.....
No, Dumbo—our greatest inheritance is Liberty.
oooooo - his cadence changed when he brought up MLK. Wonder if that will hurt him with the typical white persons?
Wow—look at all those crying Uh-bamanauts… How much did O $pend on that spectacle?
So now we’re supposta, on the anniversary of “a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” elect a fella who will call ya a racist and sic the DoJ on ya for asking about the content of his character?
No Sale, Brother.

The tonguebath “interviews” of the Uh-bamas are startling in their overtness, though I suppose outright fear of having one’s head removed for displeasing Michelle is some sort of lame, weak defense…
["NBC Nightly News” anchor Brian] Williams awkwardly prompted Obama to expound on how historic it would be for her husband to move into the White House: “ How do you begin to wrap your head around the bigger picture of, if you’re successful, you’ll move into a house where, when the Adams’ moved in...slaves were finishing the plaster over the fireplace?” To this, Mrs. Obama remarked, “Oh, I don’t go there too much. That’s a lot. I mean, I’m aware of that history."
As that particular Executive Mansion was burned by the British in 1814 and only the exterior walls remained, I imagine his point was more a feeeeeling one…
But being a dumb, bitter clinger who is expected not to “get” the whole Ayers association story, I suppose that was raaaacistly inseeensitive of me.
Misoverestimated
and what about the Bradley Effect?
Newly crowned Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama‘s lead over Republican John McCain in California has narrowed somewhat over the past month, a new poll conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California shows. ...[from] 50 percent to 35 percent [to] 48 percent to 39 percent
That ain’t even a dead cat bounce.
Barack Obama heads into his convention with a lead of no more than one to three points in most polls (a statistical dead heat) and at least one suggests he is now the underdog.
A Zogby poll on 20 August put Barack Obama five points behind his Republican rival, reversing the seven-point lead the pollster had given him the month before.
The Gallup Daily Tracking Poll on Thursday showed the Democratic presidential nominee up 6 points over rival John McCain, 48 to 42 percent, with a 2-point margin of error.
All that work all that hype, all that drama, all that set-building for a lousy 6 points?!? +/- 2???!?
Is this meaningful? Are polls useful indicators? Are people so sick of ‘em they’re foxing the pollsters?
Oil $$ UP! RNCon Coverage *poof*

Release the Annenberg Documents!
what’s he so askeert of, anyway?
Something is spoiling The One’s moment in the Son sun today: the specter of Bill Ayers.
Although Obama actually launched his political career at an event at Ayers’s and Dohrn’s home, Obama has dismissed Ayers as just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood,” and “not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.” For his part, Ayers refuses to discuss his relationship with Obama.
...With Obama heading up the board and Ayers heading up the other key operating body of the Annenberg Challenge, the two would necessarily have had a close working relationship for years ...
Stanley Kurtz of NRO [quoted above] was on WGN radio to discuss his frustrated attempts to examine the documents from the Annenberg Challenge—one of Uh-bama’s and Ayers closest ties.
Uh-bambi’s Chi-Town-style reaction? Call out the flying Bama’tards!
Weak, Barry. Very weak. Well, that’s what happens when ya have the judgement to select a Plouffe* for your manager.
In addition, the minute the McCain campaign oh, wait… It was an independant 501(c)(4) entity, American Issues Project that raised the Ayers issue.
The B-rock’s response was to, again, call out the Flying Bama’tards.
Obama has responded to the ad the way liberals often react to free speech that they don’t like: he is trying to shut it down… Obama’s spokesmen didn’t explain what about the ad is false, let alone despicable or outrageous. Every word in the ad is true. I suspect that “despicable” and “outrageous” are synonymous with “effective."
Then he pulled out the Big Guns.
“We reiterate our request that the Department of Justice fulfill its commitment to take prompt action to investigate and to prosecute the American issues Project, and we further request that the Department of Justice investigate and prosecute Howard (sic) Simmons for a knowing and willful violation of the individual aggregate contribution limits,” [Obama general counsel Bob Bauer*] wrote.
[clearly not related to Jack...]
And we thought Hillary!’s FBI files were discomfiting… There wasn’t as much reactionary flopping about for the Jeremiah Wright tapes. Those were a lot more “sound-bite-able” and therefore accessible to the average voter. So why the Panic about the Ayers connection which requires a lot longer attention span to even make sense? Buried treasure? Or Distraction from *something else*?
So the QOTD is BarryBoy, whatchew so askeert of?
