People in California are fcking weird propping their kids up to sing a creepy pro-Obama song. But, these parents are not any weirder than Jesus camp parents. Woah – what about Jesus camp parents from California? Ahhhhh!
No, you can’t “blame” Obama for a few weird supporters…
Drudge Report, thank you.
I’m looking forward to watching palin’s interview tonight with Katie Couric on youtube since it’s about domestic issues and the following gaffe (rumored) should be aired. I will post a clip accordingly.

“Of concern to McCain’s campaign, however, is a remaining and still-undisclosed clip from Palin’s interview with Couric last week that has the political world buzzing.
The Palin aide, after first noting how “infuriating” it was for CBS to purportedly leak word about the gaffe, revealed that it came in response to a question about Supreme Court decisions.
After noting Roe vs. Wade, Palin was apparently unable to discuss any major court cases.
There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there was with some others, the aide said, but rather silence.“
Update: It looks like we have to wait another day. But, the Supreme Court question (and possible gaffe) is guaranteed to be asked tomorrow during Couric’s interview. I CAN’T WAIT!
How the fck did mccain make it this far? Seriously. By the way you senile old bastard, Tony Luke’s in Philadelphia is a sandwich shop and not a pizza place! Regardless, the fun starts at the 1:00 mark. Grandpa, let your running mate explain herself…
Kudos to Couric for pointing out the following: “It wasn’t a gotcha (question) – she was talking to a voter.”
Side Note: After her recent brutal interviews, palin STILL has diarrhea of the mouth. It’s scary that she hasn’t yet learned the basics like how to speak to the media.
Below is the original clip of Palin mentioning – as seen originally on BccList.com here – that she would support an attack in Pakistan if we had actionable intelligence of a high value taliban/al qaeda located within their borders . Is mccain no longer interested in killing/capturing bin laden? The fun begins at the 18 second mark. It’s worth noting, the campaign invited the media to follow her during the photo op at Tony Luke’s…
Dow drops 777.68 points. Wow!
No house vote anytime soon due to Rosh Hashanah. I guess it sort of makes sense (ha!) to delay a pretty important vote on the name of religion – separation of church and state anyone? Should be an interesting few days.
As originally seen on BccList.com here, here, here, and here…
“Their optimism, which is said to be shared by the Democratic candidate himself, is based on information from private polling and on faith in the powerful political organisation he has built in the key swing states.
Insiders say that Mr Obama’s apparent calm through an unusually turbulent election season is because he believes that his strength among first time voters in several key states has been underestimated, both by the media and by the Republican Party.
Mr Obama has come under fire from within Democratic ranks over his message and his tactics. Critics say he has failed to connect with the blue-collar workers seen as crucial to winning the election, and too reluctant to make direct attacks on Mr McCain.
But his aides are convinced that he has a strong chance of winning no fewer than nine states won by George W.Bush in the closely contested 2000 election, including former Republican strongholds like North Carolina, Virginia and even Indiana, which have not voted Democrat for a generation.”
P.S. FiveThirtyEight.com has Obama with a greater than 80% chance of winning the election. To date, I’m pretty sure their predictor has never broken 80%.
One thing is evident after spending a few overly busy days back home in Michigan and away from a computer – mccain and palin should try to book a showing on Letterman TOGETHER as soon as possible in a lame attempt to smooth things over.
I was literally in shock when mccain suspended his campaign. Strangely, seemingly nobody in Michigan thought this was a horrible move until Letterman exposed their campaign’s political ploy. Moreover, that exposure – including the clip of mccain getting powdered up on the set of CBS nightly news – drew more attention to palin completely sh!tting the bed during her interview(s) with Couric.
P.S. I forget where I saw this but it’s worth noting – Letterman has a strong presence in Indiana. Indiana is somehow a swing state. Ouch.
Conor, Shannon, Toby, Katie, and Shawn – congrats!
As originally seen on BccList.com here, the following clips further highlight the fact that sarah palin has no idea WTF she is talking about…
Randy, thank you.
The live blogging from tonight’s debate will be short and sweet.
Nobody hit a home run. Nobody won. What a boring ass debate! mccain looked senile several times. Obama fortunately answered the questions directly – for the most part – rather than try to lecture everyone. Regardless, lame as hell.
On a side note, why and the hell won’t Obama come out and straight up say that the surge has UNDOUBTEDLY NOT WORKED as originally seen on BccList.com here and here? All Obama has to say is the following: “Our troops are fighting their asses off. They are doing an outstanding job. But, while Iraq has a surplus being of money stored in New York banks, we have bridges falling and markets crashing. This expensive/unfounded war and surge are ruining us systematically.”
Update: 10:34 pm EDT – Isn’t it past mccain’s bed time?
President bush decided to suspend his presidency early this morning citing that he didn’t want to ruin anything else in his last few months.
True story…developing.
I’ve been out of the loop the last day and have only seen clips of Letterman being stood up. 9 minutes of fun…
Amy, thank you.
I refreshed my browser that was pointed at Bloomberg.com to make sure I wasn’t seeing things before visiting a handful of other sites to confirm that senile mccain seriously suspended his campaign. Is he kidding?
No matter what “crisis” occurs, neither candidate should suspend their campaign during this democratic process of selecting a president. This is a presidential general election – not a sporting event. What is the mccain camp thinking?
