Obama’s Dirty 30!

If you somehow missed it, which was pretty much impossible, here is The Magic Obama Supershow in its entirety.

Hott.
I thought the ad was really well done. I think it did a really good job of presenting a closing argument. If I had one critique it would be ‘Is this what it takes now?’
Lord knows I’m [...]

Claire done swung her Grandma! (sort of.)

Over the past three weeks, in addition to Barack Obama sparking a national conversation about race, PinkoClaire has sparked an intense national conversation about her grandmother. We have been debating various tactics to “swing” family members who are on the fence in next week’s election. The great news? Claire reports:

Why I hate Huffington Post.

I don’t mind John Mayer. That Body is a Wonderland song didn’t do much for me but I’ve heard stuff I like. Also I never object to him shirtless, or to posting several such images after the jump. But I just, just don’t care what he thinks about the election and I can’t imagine that [...]

mmm Peanut Butter and Jelly.

This is so great.

[Repost] 30 Minutes with Barack!

(Editors note: We originally ran this feature two weeks ago when Barack Obama first announced his half hour ad-buy, which is tonight! Not enough of you read it! Read more!)
Sen. Obama is planning to use some of his huge wads of cash to buy 30 minute chunks of primetime television on October 29th to address [...]

Thanks for your insights, Joe.

Just to follow up on my earlier post about the misuse of Jewish fear, I’d like to thank Joe-the-mid-east-policy expert Joe-the-champion of the Jewish people Joe-the-fear-mongering-party-hack for his suggestion that a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel. Thanks for throwing your hat into the ring on this one, Joe.  Could [...]

Just thinking out loud.

If “that one” (I’m afraid to say it!) wins, and follows through on his promise to get us out of Iraq, that sort of withdrawl will be a very difficult moment in his presidency. McCain’s “victory” line hasn’t worked during the campaign but with news footage of actual troops leaving there will be very high [...]

The Nerd Vote

Metafliter’s Matt Haughey has laid out his ten-point platform for the nerd vote, which is not only a great assessment of some of the infrastructure and Information policy challenges our next leaders will need to address, but a wonderful platform for a new geek party.
Some key points–Broadband everywhere, renewed commitment to science, revamping transportation policy, [...]

God I hope so.

Pat Buchanan has a column out today where he lays out what will “certainly” be the agenda in the first hundred days of an “Obama-Pelosi-Reid” administration, should it come to pass. I’ll paste the whole thing after the jump but Buchanan’s assumption is that the following are certainties: Universal health care, higher taxes on the [...]

huh.We went rogue.

Both Stirling and I did a Pinko Daily Briefs today. Why? Because we don’t coordinate or plan. Hell we don’t even like each other. we love you! Enjoy them both.
