Yesterday, at a campaign event in Virginia, Barack Obama employed an old southern colloquialism to describe Senator McCain’s assertion that he is now the candidate of change. Here is what Obama said:

I have to level with you here. While we pride ourselves on being a “lifestyle magazine”, between now and November we will most likely look a hell of a lot like a political blog. I wish I could change that. I really do. But the fact is we have way too much crap to talk [...]
This year is the 75th Anniversary of the Works Progress Administration, which means it’s also the 75th Anniversary of the design and printing of some completely awesome posters.
