Oh, and he wants us to assassinate Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad too! I, or rather the Lord , beseech you as Christ's heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it! – Pope Urban II Speech at Clermont... Read Full Story

Answer: It's Something Bigger Than Wasilla The Democrats are finally getting around to countering Sarah Palin's jab against community organizers. There's a wonderful video of Barack Obama's work on Reuters. Unfortunately, I couldn't embed it into this post. I was able, however, to come up with an inspirational Obama ad. See it below. Mocking Obama's service as a community organizer has been, well, mocked. And I'm glad. Palin's comments were as demeaning as they were meant to be. Have you... Read Full Story

This is historic, and not just because Obama is African American, but because of the sheer reach of this campaign and the number of people involved in it. FULL TEXT of SPEECH: PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA: If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. Its the answer told by lines... Read Full Story

(CNN) -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced Sunday that he will be voting for Sen. Barack Obama, citing the Democrat's "ability to inspire" and the "inclusive nature of his campaign." Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he is voting for Barack Obama. "I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I'll be voting for Sen. Barack Obama," Powell said on NBC's "Meet the Press." Powell... Read Full Story

On Sarah Palin Reagan in a skirt, laying on the homespun, Howdy Doody schtick THICK—that is what went through my head as I cringed and suffered though almost every Sarah Palin answer in last night's debate. If you could call spewing talking points, flirting with the audience, and milking the I'm-just-a-regular-gal thing answering questions. Sarah Palin's version of answering pattern goes something like this "Generality, generality, I know how it feels [wink, wink, smile, smile], generality... Read Full Story

Barack Obama had better be planning his inauguration speech right now. With the selection of Katherine Harris II Sarah Palin, McCain has demonstrated just exactly how ignorant and short sighted his campaign has become. Sure all of the conservative talking heads are praising the decision as a great move and praise the fact that he has really brought some true conservative blood on the ticket but the truth is that McCain is desperate. For some reason the Straight Talk Express thinks that... Read Full Story

With another hard days work behind Joe the Plumber , aka Joe Wurzelbacher , an average guy from Columbus, Ohio wants to buy the plumbing business where he has worked for the past 15 years.  Joe the Plumber settles down for the evening to watch the third and last presidential debate between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain .  As the presidential debate is about to begin, many others who would perfectly fit the label of “Joe the Plumber” are also couched in front of the t.v. waiting...

Image by earthpro via Flickr Well it’s not Colin Powell … Apparently an Al Quaida Jihadist is supporting John Mccain by calling for a terrorist attack on America before election day to ensure that Mccain is elected and thus ensuring the further demise of the American economy, and eventually the military as well. This endorsement makes the Aires thing sound like a dream. Seriously, I don’t know why he’s still even trying. John, do yourself a favor - drop out before it gets worse… On... Read Full Story

There is no doubt anymore that Sarah Palin has completely changed the trajectory of this election. The initial reaction to Palin's selection went from confused (Sarah who?), to derision (she's a goober with no experience), to mockery (her family is a mess), and then pity (this race is over) -- all in the span of 5 days.  Within hours of McCain's announcement, I had blogged that it was a brilliant choice ... and was met with a healthy dose of skepticism.  Fast forward to today, and every...
