A poem I wrote in homage to the esteemed Barack Obama:
Remember, remember the Fourth of November,
the Liberal Treason & plot.
I know of no reason the Liberal Treason
should ever be forgot.
Obama, Obama 'twas his intent
to ruin our country and all that it meant.
Cries of...

He's done fixing the economic crisis. Now McCain has said he'll fly to Mississippi to fix Obama.
It's on like voltron.

Even Joe Biden thinks Obama's ad claiming McCain doesn't know how to send e-mails is a stupid idea.
"I thought that was terrible."

So much for yesterday's Sept. 11 ceasefire.
Obama's campaign came out firing today with a new TV commercial mocking McCain.
Here's the narrator on the ad:
“Things have changed in the last 26 years. But McCain hasn’t. He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer,...

Does anyone else find this whole lipstick on a pig thing vaguely juvenile?
Yes, it was silly for Obama to make his remarks, which may or may not have referenced Palin's convention acceptance speech.
It was also silly for the McCain group to call the remarks a sexist attack and to demand an...

Sure, Hillary said all the right things last night at the convention, but her ringing endorsement of Obama was hardly that.
And now CNN is reporting that Bill Clinton won't even be there for Obama's acceptance speech Thursday night.
Someone's taking Hillary's loss very hard indeed.

Some guy named Edwards? No, no, no — not that Edwards!
Does Hillary still have a chance?
Stay close to your phones; the Obama running mate text message might arrive soon.

So says Hillary's former communications director.
His reasoning is thus:
Had Edwards admitted to being a cheating weasel before the Iowa caucuses, Hillary would have received his votes and defeated Obama.
And the top aide Howard Wolfson also told ABCNews.com that the mainstream media doesn't...

After McCain mocked Obama's 'fame' by comparing him to Paris and Britney, Paris' parents were upset.
Now their daughter is getting her own back.
And the video's actually quite funny.
See it here.
And this just in:
Paris memorized the entire dialogue.

People are howling about John McCain's new ad featuring Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, making fun of Barack Obama's "celebrity" and questioning his readiness to lead.
What do you guys think about it? A fair attack? Below the belt? Nonsensical?

Rep. Jim Costa probably won't be getting as many calls from Bill Clinton anymore.

But AP reported today that Costa has announced his support for Barack Obama.
Costa was a footnote in...

Talk about deja vu all over again. There's been another big night of voting and I'm still not sure what it means — or if it means anything, given the little change in Obama's delegate lead. What do you guys think?
And are you glad the drama continues, possibly all the way to the...
