Biden's Restaurant to Nowhere

Towards the end of last night's Joe Biden/Sarah Palin debate, Joe Biden said this: "All you have to do is to go down Union Street with me in Wilmington and go to Katie's restaurant..."

and realized Biden was referring to the long-closed Katie's Italian restaurant, which is actually two blocks away from Union Street.

For a guy running as an in-touch-with-the-real-people candidate, it's hard to believe he not only referenced a restaurant that has been closed for nearly 20 years, but also got the location wrong!

I just called the owner of Wings to Go, Nate Johnson, who verified that Katie's closed in the late '80s.

"He was a little off," Johnson said of Biden.

The media looked like they wanted to cry. Stunned silence. Disappointed.

The Obama Campaign headquarters near campus was dead.

There was no celebrating going on there. Not tonight.

Hate for Palin

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:57:11 GMT

clipped by: brazilnut72
clipper's remarks: And it's reasons.

Clip Source: corner.nationalreview.com

Then there is continuing amazement over the sheer hatred that Palin has aroused: “I am almost 60 and come from Massachusetts. In all my years, I have never seen anything like this, and don’t want to see it ever again. I have a friend who is both feminist and left-leaning. I asked her why they hate Palin so much. She said, ‘Because she’s had it all: family, career. And she did it without a man like Bill Clinton helping her. She did it on her own.’”

I have said it before: Hillary Clinton’s husband was president of the United States. Sarah Palin’s works the night shift in an oil field. Who is the feminist hero? Bien sûr.

An episode left me kind of shaken, honestly. Last week, I was talking to a friend of mine — a very warm and humane woman.

she said to me, out of the blue, “What do you think of Sarah Palin?” And while I was drawing breath to answer, she said, “I hate her.”

Obama's Inconsistent Abortion Stand

clipper's remarks: The whole article is even better.

Clip Source: parablemania.ektopos.com

I'm willing to be charitable to those I disagree with if they leave a way to take them seriously in all the things they say. I disagreed with one of Kerry's fundamental premises, but he had a consistent view, and I pointed that out to counter the many who refused to do that with him. This is different. Barack Obama has basically declared himself incompetent to make any judgments on one of the key issues of our day, and I have to say that I agree with him. The statements he's been making show that he's either hopelessly ignorant on some very important policy matters or deliberately contradicting himself in order to pretend to two opposing groups that he's on both their sides. That means he probably should have a job where these issues really are above his pay grade. There are a lot of such jobs. Unfortunately for him, the job of U.S. President (not to mention U.S. Senator, Illinois State Senator, or constitutional law professor) would not be in the list.

Worship of Molech

clipper's remarks: Encountered during research today. Horrible.

Clip Source: www.searchgodsword.org

The popular conception, molded for English readers largely by Milton's "Moloch, horrid king" as described in Paradise Lost, Book I, is derived from the accounts given in late Latin and Greek writers, especially the account which Diodorus Siculus gives in his History of the Carthaginian Kronos or Moloch. The image of Moloch was a human figure with a bull's head and outstretched arms, ready to receive the children destined for sacrifice. The image of metal was heated red hot by a fire kindled within, and the children laid on its arms rolled off into the fiery pit below. In order to drown the cries of the victims, flutes were played, and drums were beaten; and mothers stood by without tears or sobs, to give the impression of the voluntary character of the offering (see Rawlinson's Phoenicia, 113, for fuller details).

A Democrat Analyzes Her Party

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:52:41 GMT

clipped by: brazilnut72
clipper's remarks: Very good analysis from a Democrat and Obama supporter. The entire article should be read by people of both parties.

Clip Source: www.salon.com

Over the Labor Day weekend, with most of the big enchiladas of the major media on vacation, the vacuum was filled with a hallucinatory hurricane in the leftist blogosphere, which unleashed a grotesquely lurid series of allegations, fantasies, half-truths and outright lies about Palin. What a tacky low in American politics -- which has already caused a backlash that could damage Obama's campaign.

The gigantic, instantaneous coast-to-coast rage directed at Sarah Palin when she was identified as pro-life was, I submit, a psychological response by loyal liberals who on some level do not want to open themselves to deep questioning about abortion and its human consequences.

It is nonsensical and counterproductive for Democrats to imagine that pro-life values can be defeated by maliciously destroying their proponents.

When they become baying bloodhounds of rigid dogma, Democrats have committed political suicide.

Biden on Hillary

clipper's remarks: So...is he calling Obama's judgment into question...or his own qualifications...or both?

If I were a Democrat I would be a little worried to hear the Vice Presidential Candidate say "ya got stuck with second best".
