The Election Year According to Wingnuts
Via Balloon Juice, Jon Swift inventories the election year “reporting” of the conservative (make that wingnut) blogosphere. Put down all drinks before reading. Swift runs through the Greatest Hits (so far) of the right, including the mysterious Columbia University terrorist cell; the Great Birth Certificate forgery; the ephemeral Michelle Obama interview with a non-existent news […]
Yet They Publish Them Anyway
The NYT announced last week that Bono (yes, that Bono) was joining its Editorial Page as a real columnist. While talking about this news with The Guardian, the NYT editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal, Mr. Rosenthal notes that Brian May (guitarist for Queen with a Ph.D in Astrophysics) will be back, and that he is […]
The Conservative Brief for Voting for Obama
This comes from Andrew Sullivan who has been one of the top 10 Cheerleaders for Obama for quite some time now. What struck me about Sullivan’s list is that the conservatives around me who intend to vote for Obama have a few of these very reasons. I shouldn’t have thought of them as being unique, […]
Obama Newspaper Endorsements — Info Geek Edition
I’m a big fan of folks who know how to layout data graphically and this is simply outstanding. Note how little relationship there is between the red state/blue state thing and the paper’s Presidential endorsements. I wish I could embed it, but really, just go see it. Hover your cursor over the circles or lines […]

The wankery from the right is unabated AND apparently this s a dress rehearsal for what we may be in for over the next four years should Obama win. Now that we’ve put away the black man attacking white female supporter of McCain, we’ve moved on to the new subject of the Looking Glass. Today […]
Last Days Strategy
Today, Obama begins to make his closing argument: Tomorrow in Canton, OH, Senator Obama caps off a nearly two year campaign with a closing argument speech that lays out the choice in this election and details how he will fix our economy and bring the change we need to Washington.

The Sound of Wingnut Heads Exploding
Judge throws out PUMA challenge to Obama qualifications to be President. 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 […]
Culture War Greatest Hits
Chris Hayes over at The Nation writes: The New York Times Magazine previews a piece from this week’s issue about the strangely careening tactical path of the McCain campaign as it’s bounced incoherently from message to message over the last several months. One thing occurred to me: The Right’s attacks on Obama over the last […]
