clipper's remarks: This election brought it out, and drew the line, made plain the enemy. The goofs, the lower crust, let them clamor, but dear god, let us not lose grip and let "The Stupids" ever again have any chance to decide an election. let them have their delusions, fears and close-minded back water weirdness.

Palin had barely touched down when conservative Web sites began hawking defiant bumper stickers: "I'll keep my guns, freedom and money. You can keep 'The Change': Palin 2012." It's 1,460 days until the next election, and loyal Palinmaniacs have already kicked off the palin4pres2012.com Web site and mailing list.

"We have to watch this guy and not give him an inch," one McCain supporter wrote. "The same way he criticized every move of President Bush. We have to make things as difficult for him as he did for Bush."

David Byrne is always a good read

Full disclosure: I used to own a record label. That label, Luaka Bop, still exists, though I'm no longer involved in running it. My last record came out through Nonesuch, a subsidiary of the Warner Music Group empire. I have also released music through indie labels like Thrill Jockey, and I have pressed up CDs and sold them on tour. I tour every few years, and I don't see it as simply a loss leader for CD sales. So I have seen this business from both sides. I've made money, and I've been ripped off. I've had creative freedom, and I've been pressured to make hits. I have dealt with diva behavior from crazy musicians, and I have seen genius records by wonderful artists get completely ignored. I love music. I always will. It saved my life, and I bet I'm not the only one who can say that.

On McCain: Fareed Zakaria

To watch McCain address the current economic crisis is to see a man out of step with his time. His responses have been a recitation of old slogansâ€”cut taxes, limit the government, cut spendingâ€”that are largely irrelevant to today's problems. Does anyone really believe that tackling earmarks will get credit markets functioning? In some ways, McCain's intellectual fatigue reflects the exhaustion of the ideological revolution begun by Reagan and Thatcher. The country needs fresh thinking that is ready to accept new facts and new ideas. It's a new world out there.

MySpace and ad-adware -malware

clipper's remarks: Sometimes my page loses focus - a box pops up that say I have been infected and then my Norton quarantines a file seconds after that. When you close the pop-up a window is there for some Antispyware tool that I cannot help is being hawked to find the bait file sent to the computer. WTF!!!

Why isn't MySpace doing something to protect it's users? The site is contracting with another company to serve the ads, why not write language into the contract requiring the ad companies to pay penalties when they serve advertisements like this? You should ask this of MySpace, Brian.

Obama is not a muslim

clipper's remarks: Get over it you fearful simpletons -- two words: urban legend.

Clip Source: urbanlegends.about.com

Comments: We are asked to believe that Senator Barack Obama, who for 20 years has professed to be a practicing Christian and has spoken publicly of his "personal relationship with Jesus Christ," is in fact secretly a Muslim and has lied all along about his true religious affiliation.

No proof is offered by those who make these claims -- no sightings of Barack Obama attending a mosque, no pictures of him reading the Koran, praying to Mecca, or observing Islamic holidays with his family. The entire case, such as it is, rests on a confused and error-ridden recitation of Obama's upbringing and purported childhood influences. It also rests on -- or exploits -- a deep fear and mistrust of the Muslim faith.

Is it true that when Obama was sworn into office he used the Koran (Qur'an) instead of the Bible?

Those making this allegation have apparently confused Obama with Congressman Keith Ellison, who actually is a Muslim and was sworn in on January 4, 2007 using a copy of the Koran.

The levels of idiocy in the Mccain base

clipper's remarks: A comment on a fact-check page. There are some folks who seem to be -- all I can call them is Retard-Brown Shirts. Obama is not a Muslim and even if he was -- not all Muslims are terrorists!

Clip Source: trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com

Why don't you "fact check" 155 Obama lies - also "fact check" Obama pushing the "wrong button" 6 times when voting. Duh! Also fact check Obama's Muslim faith, and he now lies about it. His brother said he was a muslim and proved it with a picture. Fact check Obama's Houston Office with paid staff - and a Communist Cuban flag hanging on the wall. Google and UTube these. Obama is not a patriot. McCain is - This election matters and people need to know the real Obama.

PALIN - You betcha

clipper's remarks: I thought her pandering was RIDICULOUS.

Clip Source: features.csmonitor.com

We were not won over by her irrelevant populist rifts and appeals, the “betchas,” the “darn rights,” the references to Joe Six-Pack, hockey moms or the “kids’ soccer game on Saturday.” We were certainly not amused by her divisive pitting of energy-producing states against East Coast politicians, who by the way, have every bit as much right to oversee federal lands in Alaska as do Alaskans living next to them.

But political analysts say Palin remains a powerful force in McCain's campaign despite her bad reviews. They cite her proven ability to rally evangelical Christians and connect with other socially conservative Republicans, whose grass-roots muscle could propel McCain in crucial states. Continued...

Debate did seem to be a draw

clipper's remarks: as much as some might have wished for a more clear winner -- but that is not the way this election will go.

“It was one of the more competent debates we’ve seen in a long time. There were no major gaffes. It was data-driven, and both spoke clearly to their constituencies, as they should have,” says Allan Louden, a debate expert at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. “I would rate it as a draw, but if it’s a draw, the draw goes to the challenger and that would be Obama.”

"It's my belief that this is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from the person who, in approximately 40 days, will be responsible for dealing with this mess," Obama said at a news conference in Clearwater, Fla. "It's going to be part of the president's job to deal with more than one thing at once."
