A good analysis in the Telegraph of London on just how screwy it is to vote for Barack. The choice faced by the electorate is clear.

Sarah’s French Kiss

03Nov08

Sarah Palin got used by some Canadian pranksters pretending to be French President Sarkozy. While it’s got to be embarrassing to have been taken in, Sarah survived the scam without humiliation.

Pulling Punches

03Nov08

Even Joe the Plumber is too upwardly mobile to overtly question Barack’s patriotism – but why not just come out and say, when asked if his love of country is in doubt, say sure! “McCain has fought and bled for our country, loves our country,” said Joe Wurzelbacher, aka “Joe the Plumber,” who has campaigned […]
