[Official Transcript of the Republican Weekly Radio Address:]

Hi there. This is Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite, and I have the great honor to represent Florida’s 5th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Watching gas prices rise from $2.32 a gallon in January 2007 to $4.08 this week, I am firmly convinced that Americans today face a [...]

Themes

Yes, this is still Brownian Emotion.
As I upgraded to the latest WordPress version for security reasons, I found most of my plugins and my nice brownian theme didn’t work anymore. So we’ll stick with the standard theme for now and I’ll make a whole new theme when I get a sec.

McCain’s Negative Ad Against Obama

avi -

I’m glad McCain included the option to press yes or no. Because it turns out that the right answer is "yes." Except that there’s no good reason for a President Obama to meet with Ahmadinejad, since the latter leader isn’t really responsible for Iran’s foreign policy.

The Lynch Mob

Obama Has Another Farrakhan Problem (and a New Preacher Problem) : NO QUARTER
Thinking Clinton is unfit to be President is not sexist, just as thinking Obama is the worse candidate is not at all racist.
However, continually harping on Obama’s social and religious connections in the black community is undeniably racist. It’s a Lynching by [...]

Blibel

It strikes me that no one seems to care when people lie anymore. And we certainly don’t blink an eye when someone defames someone else’s character. Having been the victim of it in the past, I can tell you it’s very hard to fight — almost pointless nowadays, as it tends to garner sympathy for [...]
