  • A Lightbulb goes on Ever wonder what the US Supreme Court might have made of what the Prez-Elect might have said? It’s lucky he didn’t enunciate it. Obama roasts Rahm Emmanuel in 2005

  • Smarting under Tuesday’s blow at the ballot box, the Republican leadership has hunkered down to analyze the verdict of the voters and to figure out a new winning strategy. Representative Thaddeus G. McCotter (R- Michigan) said: "We’re rock bottom. We are now free to start thinking again, acting again, and doing the right thing by…

  • John McCain’s latest campaign prop and middle east advisor, Joe the Plumber who is not really a plumber, let down his sponsor today. He didn’t show up at a rally in Ohio and McCain futilely called on the absent non-plumber to show himself and fire up the crowd. Apparently, Maverick John and Show Boater Joe had…

  • Another heartfelt, operatic endorsement of Obama. (link: Sujatha)

  • (Cross-posted from Fluff’ n’ Stuff) I nearly talked myself out of it quite successfully. I hate crowds and queues, I get migraines when I have to be in enclosed spaces for more than a couple of hours, couldn’t manage the timing with the kids getting back from school, they were going to cover the event…

  • According to Giblets: yes. FACT! Barack Obama and sixties radical Bill Ayers were both associated with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a radical education foundation whose radical goal is to radically educate black children by educating them… while they are still black.

  • We did have a presidential debate last Friday after Drama Queen John McCain (do read Frank Rich’s spot on analysis of McCain’s theatrics) managed to create a short lived suspense around the event. The inaugural debate has been characterized in the media as a lukewarm tie (the press didn’t get a single memorable one-liner and…

  • .. and cancels his appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, apparently because he has to rescue the economy from "cratering."  Asked Letterman: "What are you going to do if you’re elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We’ve got a guy like that now!" What’s going on?  The Christian Science Monitor speculates.

  • The long awaited resolution to the hotly contested Hari/Harry Puttar/Potter suit has emerged, in Hari’s favor. Well, not really long awaited, and probably not all that hotly contested. In fact, this case, like the recent suit resulting in an injunction prohibiting the publication of a Harry Potter lexicon, pretty much points out the imbecility of…

  • The upcoming vice-presidential debate on October 2 should be fun. The participants will be a heavily prepped, ignorant war monger parroting cliches and scripted sound bites and a perpetual gaffe machine.

  • Right wing religious bigots routinely hear from God.  They are also given to interpreting natural and man-made disasters as retributive justice wrought upon those who stray from Christian values as defined by them – not a surprising quality among the deluded and the vindictive. But where the bigots go wrong is when they start believing that…

  • The barrage of political news of the last several days inevitably brings meteorological metaphors to mind. On the concluding day of the well organized Democratic National Convention in Denver on August 28, Sen Barack Obama breezed through a powerful speech that party faithfuls believe was a breath of fresh air because it managed to disperse…
