I wouldn't ban the books. I might ban Dan Brown readers though. And Dan Brown himself, of course.

Michelle Malkin is having a meltdown because Obama supposedly said "You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig." in reference to Sarah Palin.

In fact, here is the context of what he said:

Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra.

"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."

"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink."

"We've had enough of the same old thing."

Considering that McCain said the exact same thing in reference to Hillary, AND CONSIDERING IT'S AN EXTREMELY OLD AND FAMILIAR ANALOGY, I don't see how they're getting traction on this.

Because he called her a pig, d00d!  Weren't you paying attention?

On the subject of McCain gaining ground in the polls, maybe that's because pollsters have been polling more Republicans than Democrats lately.

OMG!!  Obama said "my Muslim faith"!  That obviously means that he is a crypto-Muslim fascist!!!

Yeah, I saw when George Stephanopolous had to correct him about "my Muslim faith," and I got Obama's meaning right away, but then I thought, Shit, this is going to be taken out of context REAL soon...

It's the electoral college votes I give a shit about, not the polls.  I'm sure it'll swing the other way, however, as these things always do.

http://www.ontheissues.org/

probably old news,
but I have found this site most useful in comparing how politicians stand / have voted on zillions of issues. Like for one, I didn't know that Barack snorted coke in college.

[East Coast Hustle]

that makes you about the only person in America who didn't know that.

personally, if I were waffling on who to vote for, that'd be the deal-breaker.

no way in HELL I would vote for a candidate who hasn't blown a few lines back in the day.

more Obama is a commie

the role of the community organiser was developed by an extreme left intellectual called Saul Alinsky. He was a radical Chicago activist who, by the time he died in 1972, had had a profound influence on the highest levels of the Democratic party. Alinsky was a 'transformational Marxist' in the mould of Antonio Gramsci, who promoted the strategy of a 'long march through the institutions' by capturing the culture and turning it inside out as the most effective means of overturning western society.

Well, if spending time with Communists makes you a Communist then John McCain should explain the 5 and a half years he spent hang around in Hanoi.
