Halloween — Goldfarb, Asimov, Logick & Horror

They aren’t connected, you know, except that I have three observations of an electional nature, and those are them. Or, rather, them are these.

Or somesuch.
Happy Halloween! Three tales of misery and the magi nation.

Diva Id and Conk Her

The Swamp, the Chicago Tribune’s Washington bureau blog, reports:
A campaign official privately tells the paper: “She’s now positioning herself for her own future. Of course, this is bad for John. It looks like no one is in charge.”
ABC News, among others, notes that, in an interview with CNN, one McCain adviser anonymously called Palin “a [...]

Bad Puns Palin Comparison

I can’t possibly keep up with all the weaselly smears that the GOPpers are throwing out this week. I’m certain they run the gamut from “Obama is a Space Alien!”  to “The Democrats will confiscate your children AND your money.” (And its corollary: “The Liberals want to have sex with your dog!” Don’t laugh, that’s [...]

It is not, one supposes, egotistical to note that the story I told you here last Monday (“Holy You Betcha, Batman! It’s the Barracuda!” 20 Oct 2008.) is now confirmed on Saturday, after having become the subject of speculation throughout the [...]

Barbiegate™ Pushes GOP Collapse

It isn’t often that you see Pat Buchanan and Rush Limbaugh flailing wildly, flecks of foam forming around their political pottymouths. But in the last 24 hours, that’s exactly what I’ve witnessed.

The Party of Lincoln™ bears about as much resemblance TO Lincoln as a grubworm does to a supernova. It is all topsy-turvy: voter suppression, [...]

Barbiegate™ Casts Pall Over Election

Whoever Paul is.

It seems astonishing that, on the same day, both Alaskans in the news would use, essentially, the same rationalization.

Crunch Time

There’s a lot of good news. And, we shouldn’t forget that voting is already underway. I’ve got my Oregon mail-in ballot, and will vote tonight.
What most impressed me was something I heard Cokie Roberts say on NPR yesterday: that the Obama campaign is the best-organized, most disciplined campaign she’s seen in her lifetime. And, she [...]
