election
What a fun week it’s been
This past week some interesting events occurred. First, there was a special election in Massachusetts and then there was the SCOTUS ruling that says corporate entities (and unions) can’t be limited in advertising bombing the electorate.
That Scott Brown got elected is really a non-issue. People vote and get elected all the time and I don’t [...]
This will not placate the Iranian protectors
This is a mistake on the part of the Iranian government. It is understandable that they want to stop the demonstrations, but this tact will only harden both side’s positions.
They don't seem to want to stop
The protestors in Iran do not want to go away. I’m am hoping that this does not end the same way Tianamen did; that government is not famous for their patience.
Palin seems to know why they lost
Massive irony alert.
I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration?
via Palin: GOP ticket [...]
We voted
Around 6:30 AM Lily and I voted today. It’s going to be a long day and I can’t wait to see who wins.
Your VP candidate is so dumb she…
This is going to put Your Mama Is So Dumb jokes in perspective.
“If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations,” Palin told host Chris Plante, “then I don’t know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment [...]
Governor Palin shows lots of class
Okay, I guess Bill Ayers 15 minutes are up. Now their linking Senator Obama with the PLO.
Here is the appropriate response:
The Obama campaign called Palin’s remarks “another recycled, manufactured controversy from the McCain campaign to distract voters’ attention from John McCain’s lockstep support for George Bush’s economic policies.”
Palin accuses Obama of ties to second ‘radical [...]
Governor Palin abused her position and so what?
The report is in and apparently Governor Palin (or her husband, I can’t tell which) has abused her position. And it does not matter one bit. The folks who will vote for McCain only care about ethics, rules, and laws when it applies to Those Darned Socialist Democrats.
If anything this will solidify the base of [...]
That was totally expected, no release for those 17
Those 17 not-enemy-combatants that Pakistan handed to the U.S.? An emergency motion blocking their release was granted to the administration.
That’s not surprising; I expected that the administration would not have bothered with a court order. I mean, they could have just refused to comply.
This whole situation is ridiculous. If this is really an immigration issue, [...]
Will the U.S. actually release these prisoners?
It would be amazing if these Chinese Muslims actually get released. The U.S. has admitted that they are not enemy combatants so I don’t understand what the risk really is.
