You may have heard the news that Kay Hagan has been accused of accepting godless money.
Everyone is truly shocked, but I find myself having to make a confession. I have, on numerous occasions, given entities godless money without informing them that it was anything other than good Christian money.
I’ll wait for the shock to wear [...]
I think they’re on to something
1 Comment Published by Jeff, October 29th, 2008 in 2008 elections, Religion, The RightI vote that the GOP use this strategy from now on. Stop campaigning and just think happy thoughts.
Incidentally, this would be a novel interpretation of election fraud. Oh my, that touchscreen voting machine just switched my vote from Obama to McCain! It’s a miracle! God has revealed his choice.
Biden says Obama isn’t going to turn the U.S. into Sweden.
Everyone put away your lederhosen, we’ll have to wait for the next election.
Over at The Corner:
Number of posts regarding the lack of security on Obama’s online donation page today: 10.
Number of Corner readers who made fraudulent donations to Obama: 5+.
The fact that it took 9 posts on the subject before Cornerites realized they were encouraging illegal activity: priceless.
So today’s major accomplishments were that they donated an unspecified [...]
The reaction to Colin Powell’s endorsement of Obama is amusing. You’ve all seen Limbaugh’s reaction. Here’s Buchanan’s similar reaction:
Gen. Powell does not deny it, contending only that race was not the only or decisive factor. “If I had only that fact in mind,” he told Tom Brokaw, “I could have done this six, eight, ten [...]
I made a lot over Congress not being able to pass anything better than the bailout bill we got. It seems that world events have conspired to push Paulson towards what looks like the favored solution of most economists (partial nationalization and recapitalization) sans Congressional sign-off. So, hurdle cleared, I guess. I didn’t see that [...]
I must say, there’s something I don’t get about sentiments like this.
Libertarians dislike coercion, meaning government compelling them to do something they don’t want to do. This typically involves taxes paying for various facets of the welfare state. And while most of our political discourse is pragmatic - involving solutions to problems and debating their [...]
I’ve been thinking about buying a MacBook for the last couple months. I’ve been wanting a laptop and to mess around with OS X and some apps for it for quite a while now. So I started doing some research and found that MacBooks were due for an update in the near future. Since I [...]
Didn’t see that coming:
It therefore seems to me that the Republican Party has invited not just defeat but discredit this year, and that both its nominees for the highest offices in the land should be decisively repudiated, along with any senators, congressmen, and governors who endorse them.
I used to call myself a single-issue voter on [...]
The crucial Domino’s vote
3 Comments Published by Jeff, October 9th, 2008 in 2008 elections, SillinessI would just like to inform you that of those who have ordered Domino’s pizza recently and completed their inexplicable election survey, 44% support Obama and 34% support McCain. This is roughly in line with Obama’s leads in the national tracking polls.
So, while some liberals may like upscale, elitist, arugula-using fine dining establishments, some of [...]
