One Little Victory

One last set of slants before the election.

A Momo for Hatch

Orrin Hatch isn’t just a moron; he is an outright ass. Today he claimed that the U.S. “lose a lot of stature throughout the world” if Barack Obama is elected President.

I don’t know what planet this asshat is living on if he thinks that the U.S. enjoys a lot of “stature” in the world right now. Two things… Iraq and torture, have pretty much done in our international reputation. And now Hatch wants us to elect a guy who was beating the war drums early and often, as well as a guy who rolled over to the administration on the issue of torture.

Perhaps he should leave Washington, DC and Utah a little more often.

The Breeder’s Momo

This one is really priceless. I had a suspicion that something was up with the replaced juror in the Ted Stevens case. the first reports that I heard were that she was disruptive and disrespectful, and ignored the judge’s directions during deliberations. Then then next thing I knew, she was replaced because her father had died. Too strange.

Turns out it was too strange. Turns out that the juror, Marian Hinnant, lied to the judge about her father’s death so that she could fly to California to attend the Breeder’s Cup.

Wow. Just wow.

Sarah strikes again

Ever the empathic veep candidate, Sarah palin assured an African-American today that she understood racial prejudice because her husband is part native Alaskan. Are you kidding me? Does she really want to make that comparison? Chalk this up as yet one more example of why she makes a better punchline than vice presidential candidate.

See her comment here.

Intrade Odds

Intrade got every single state right in the 2004 election, showing that gamblers are at least as accurate as polls. This was also the case on another major futures site.

So how do they have this election called? Obama 364, McCain 174. If that number seems familiar, it’s because that is exactly what I called a few days ago. And no, I had not consulted Intrade.

Not working

Despite all of the Republican attacks on Obama related to William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, it turns out that Obama is actually widening his lead in the polls. I find it highly, highly unlikely that this race is tightening.

Go Away, Joe

Enough of this idiot Joe the Plumber (Joe Wurzelbacher) who now sounds like any of the Fixed Noise pundits by parroting the same crap that we have heard for the past two months. Now Mr. Wurzelbacher has questioned Obama’s loyalty to the United States.

And I question yours, Mr. Wurzelbacher. Exactly what have you ever done to contribute to the good of this nation? Who the hell are you to be able to espouse such ignorance and expect to be taken seriously? Effective tomorrow, your fifteen minutes have expired, Mr. Wurzelbacher, but you can live on as a Golden Momo recipient.

A final pre-election commentary

No matter what your political persuasion, watch this clip and ask yourself whether or not we would take Barack Obama seriously as a candidate if he made all of the same blunders that John McCain has. So exactly why is anyone taking Mr. McCain seriously?

So here we go… tomorrow is the most important moment in American history in the past forty years. How we choose tomorrow will say a great deal about us as a nation.
