Dear Muslim Socialist Answer Person,
When Barack Obama turns the United States into a Muslim Socialist Monarchy like Sweden, to what government agency will I need to report to pick up my free Ikea prayer rug?

Say Buh-Bye to Idiotic Republican Obama Birth Certificate Lawsuit
Via Oliver Willis. From the Dep't. of Neener Nanner:
A federal judge in Philadelphia last night threw out a complaint by a Montgomery County lawyer who claimed that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was not qualified to be president and that his name should be removed from the Nov. 4 ballot.
Philip J. Berg alleged in a complaint filed in federal district court on Aug. 21 against Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, that Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya.
Berg claimed that the Democratic presidential standardbearer is not even an American citizen but a citizen of Indonesia and therefore ineligible to be president.
He alleged that if Obama was permitted to run for president and subsequently found to be ineligible, he and other voters would be disenfranchised.
U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick had denied Berg’s request for a temporary restraining order on Aug. 22 but had not ruled on the merits of the suit until yesterday. [...]
In a 34-page memorandum and opinion, the judge said Berg’s allegations of harm were “too vague and too attenuated” to confer standing on him or any other voters.
Surrick ruled that Berg’s attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim that Obama was not a natural-born citizen were “frivolous and not worthy of discussion.”
The judge also said the harm Berg alleged did “not constitute an injury in fact” and Berg’s arguments to the contrary “ventured into the unreasonable.”" http://thepoliticalcarnival.blog...ican-

John McCain defacing the American flag. Check it out.
Clearly the smartest thing for the Democrats to do is to cower and fear any power placed in their hands, since somebody is going to be displeased with the way they wield it.
Wait, isn't that what they've been doing?
Oh, well...carry on, then!

Here's some non-biased reporting:
"Saturday, October 25, 2008
VIDEO: Joe Biden v. wingnut anchorwoman. Guess who wins...
The woman is Orlando WFT tv anchorwoman Barbara West. It is from October 23, 2008.
She asks Biden if Obama is a Marxist. She asks him if the plan is to turn the United States into Sweden.
Biden so disliked West's line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife.
"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign." http://

One of the reasons McCain is losing Iowa is one of the few principled stands he has taken and hasn't flipped on. He is opposed to corn based ethanol subsidies.
So Palin, says doggone it, I like me that stuff. She really is throwing him under the bus.

She's counting on his imminent demise... so, constitutionally, what happens if - on the odd chance - McCain is elected, dies before he is inaugurated, then who is the prez' or would it be thrown to Congress to decide ...? Got to find my copy of the Constitution. The answer has to be in one of the articles.

I've told the gang this before, but I had a drink with the mother of a student I was helpful to, after she had graduated.
The mother, unbeknownst to me, was rabidly anti-Obama and rabidly pro-Palin and McCain.
After listening very politely to her invective, I asked her as we were about to go our separate ways, "If, four years from now, the economy is stronger, we're at peace, unemployment is down, the country is more secure, and in all measurable ways things are better, will you admit that perhaps Obama wasn't so bad a choice?"
"No," was all she said.
You cannot reason with these people. Don't even try.

Six months? That might have happened in 1842 ... try six days before the news cycle starts up on the "failed Obama presidency."

Um, Weeee??!! From CR:
The depth of the recession was revealed today as truckmaker Volvo admitted demand across the Continent has crashed by 99.7% as it took orders for just 115 new lorries in the last three months.
That compares to orders totalling 41,970 in the third quarter of 2007.

He sure is: The very same campaign strategy that has belatedly mobilized the Republican core has alienated and offended the great national middle, which was the only place where the 2008 election could have been won.
Dave, your guy W has been playing to the base and telling the rest of the country to screw for 8 years. That's called making your party smaller. It's Rove and it's W. Mav's run a terrible campaign but W killed your party. And I'm so so sad.

Bidding process for Palin's pipeline was flawed
AP investigation shows terms benefited the winner: TransCanada Corp.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Gov. Sarah Palin's signature accomplishment — a contract to build a 1,715-mile pipeline to bring natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48 — emerged from a flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration, an Associated Press investigation shows. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27374946/
There are reports the McCain campaign is in the midst of internecine war. Maybe AP is too
