Sarah Palin's Surge
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 04 Sep 2008 11:28 PM EDT
By now nearly everyone in America knows that Sarah Palin described herself at the GOP convention Wednesday night as "just your average hockey mom." She isn't average anymore, though she can still throw a hip check. After a national political debut that ranks with Barack Obama's in 2004 and Ronald Reagan's in 1964, the Alaska Governor may be the future of the Republican Party. More>>>

Iranian TV goes ga-ga over Obama

FTA- GOP Sen. John McCain is "absentminded" and "terrible" and his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, doesn't have any appropriate experience. Sen. Barack Obama, by contrast, is "highly educated" and "eloquent" and would serve the world much better and improve America's overall situation. Sounds like they get their talking points from Nancy Pelosi and MSNBC. More>>>

Obama on The O'Reilly Factor Tonight
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 04 Sep 2008 02:21 PM EDT
The big question I have about Obama's visit with O'Reilly tonight is will he attempt to show his 'manhood' by going toe-to-toe with one of the Left's most hated pundits? Another question is will O'Reilly throw him softballs or actually ask some devastating questions like: 'Senator Obama, is it true you blocked legislation which would protect babies born alive as the result of a late term abortion?' 'Senator Obama, is it true you spent several years of your life in an Islamic school? If so, why do you feel compelled to lie about that?' Senator Obama, is it true that you have made a number of rants against white people? Is that your voice posted on YouTube? Senator Obama why have you not repudiated Jeremiah Wright for the insanely and overt racist things he has said? Senator Obama, is it true that you launched your political career at the home of a known domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers? What do you think?

BREAKING: Sarah Palin "Winged" Her Speech Because of "Broken" Teleprompter
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 04 Sep 2008 12:43 PM EDT
According to sources close to the McCain campaign, the teleprompter continued scrolling during applause breaks. As a result, half way through the speech, the speech had scrolled significantly from where Governor Palin was in the speech. The malfunction also occurred during Rudy Giuliani's speech, explaining his significant deviations from his speech.
More>>> Of course, Obama can just look on in envy. His performance without a teleprompter is so bad, the WSJ labelled him a 'one man gaffe machine.' More>>>

Penn Jillette: Last thing we need now is a great leader
by

on Thu 04 Sep 2008 11:02 AM EDT
Obama is a great leader. He can fire people up and get them to do what he wants. He does smart speeches that promise everyone everything they need and make us feel good about our country and how much greater our government could be. But I don't think our next president being a great leader is a good thing. I'm worried about someone smarter than Bush taking over that tremendous power. Charisma and ambition increase my fear exponentially, and a great leader scares me to death. (Thanks, Tim!) More>>>

Hanley Ramirez homered and doubled to lead the Florida Marlins past the Atlanta Braves 5-3 Wednesday in front of an incredibly sparse crowd of just 600 fans. Fewer than 600 people were in Dolphin Stadium's bright orange and aqua seats for the first pitch, leaving most of them to reflect the afternoon sun. While the official attendance, based on tickets sold, was 11,211, the ballpark was so quiet that home-plate chatter could be heard. More>>>

The Best Man Turned Out To Be A Woman
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 04 Sep 2008 01:59 AM EDT
The media hysterically denounced Palin as "inexperienced." But then people started to notice that she has more executive experience than B. Hussein Obama -- the guy at the top of the Democrats' ticket. While the difficult circumstances of Palin's pregnant daughter are being covered like a terrorist attack on the nation, with leering accounts of the 18-year-old father, the media remain resolutely uninterested in the parentage of Edwards' mistress's love child. Except, that is, the hardworking reporters at the National Enquirer, who say Edwards is the father. As this goes to press, the latest media-invented scandal about Palin is that McCain didn't know her well before choosing her as his running mate. He knew her well enough, though admittedly, not as well as Obama knows William Ayers. More>>>
