I just got an email from a student. It was a homework assignment to find a bad argument online and say what’s bad about it. The selected the “he’s an Arab” comment from the McCain rally and said that it’s a bad argument because it stereotypes, etc… However, in the course of explaining this, the [...]

Obama Jerks Tears for Votes.
Posted in Just images (and sounds), Those Wacky Liberals on October 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Obama’s “infomercial” aired pretty much everywhere last night (CNN declined, Fox News – well, I’m sure they didn’t want to show it, either, though it was on Fox in addition to CBS, NBC, BET, Univision, MSNBC and TV One).
I have adopted the frustrating hobby of reading comments to news stories online, and when I went [...]
Obama Rolling in Dough on a Broken Promise
Posted in The Economy, Those Wacky Liberals on October 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This story is something Obama supporters don’t want to hear. They want to justify what he does the way they wouldn’t accept an opponent justifying such actions. It’s not a terrible scandal, but it is indication that the candidate for change has done something politicianist in order to capitalize on an opportunity. [...]
Election Day Off = Socialism.
Posted in Fox News, Just Words, Those Wacky Conservatives, Those Wacky Liberals on October 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
On Tuesday, I happened upon a FoxNews.com headline saying, “Obama Urges Voters to Take Day Off From Work to Help Campaign on Election Day.” The article is fine. Nothing really worth mentioning, but then there is a “You Decide Forum” where readers weigh in with their opinions.
First, here’s the ad:

McCain’s Courage. A Review of a Bio Video
Posted in Just images (and sounds), Uncategorized on October 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
McCain’s bio video from www.johnmccain.com.
This is not quite parallel to the video I posted of Barack Obama. Obama’s is a straight bio piece (not “straight” in that it is unbiased/lacks the emotion of this one but because it is a chronology of his life). McCain’s is less a chronology of his life and [...]
Let Palin be Plain

I don’t really mean that headline; I just like the pun.
I have been traveling and working so much in the past few days that I haven’t had time to pay attention to the news or blog. I kept hearing snippets, though, that people were shocked about Palin’s wardrobe. I have to say that [...]

My hit counts have been down in the past few days, so I thought I would spark some search engine traffic. Is that a good enough headline?
If you accidentally happened upon this blog while looking for photos of famous people without their clothes on, then I am surprised that you’ve bothered to read this [...]
America vs. America.
Posted in Aww screw it, Those Wacky Conservatives, Those Wacky Liberals, Whoami and Whyami on October 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m surprised this story has stuck around as long as it has, but it just keeps getting renewed, somehow.
It started with Governor Palin’s comments in Greensboro, N.C. on October 16th, which, according to the popular interpretation, drew a line between small town American and big city America. Here are her remarks with stage direction [...]
Breaking News: Most political satire online just isn’t funny
Posted in Aww screw it on October 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A report by the National Review of Political Satire (NRPS) today – a bipartisan committee made up of state and local government, fortune 500 CEO’s, concerned parents, and TV’s Andy Dick – finds that political satire sites and so-called “Humblogs” are just not funny. The study specifically cites 23/6’s daily let-downs and scores of [...]
Obama suspends campaign to visit ill grandmother in Hawaii.
Posted in Aww screw it on October 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Barack Obama is at it again with another political stunt, this one half-assed and taken directly from the McCain playbook. Just four weeks after McCain suspended his campaign to fix the nation, Obama is claiming to have an urgent need to do the same. Urgent, Senator Osama Obama? As urgent as healing [...]
