Heh

This has got to be one of the better take downs of a political spin line that I’ve seen. “I think President Obama is leading,” she unsurprisingly said. “But unfortunately, you have a Republican Party that has decided that by saying no, they can, you know, perhaps gain more at the polls this coming fall.”…

Craziest Attack Ad Ever!

You thought Labour’s ads were bad? Try this one from a California primary race. It’s one long, horrible train wreck. HT: Michelle Malkin.

No one pays me to run this blog either

One of the favorite tactics of the left is to claim that the right is run by rich people, and the only reason anyone would support them is because they’re getting paid to do so. It looks like some in the USA are getting a bit sick of that nonsense. Note also the “People’s Seat”…

Palin Turns the Tables

Heh, here’s a good one. There’s been so much Palin bashing lately, due to her new book. The Tonight Show got William Shatner on to read some of the more odd entries (taking them out of context of course) therein. What Shatner didn’t know is that it cuts both ways. However, Shatner was a good…

Being Conservative in the USA

Yesterday at Kiwiblog DPF noted that Independents are veering towards the Republican party. This is unusual – Gallup has the Republicans in the lead in their generic congressional ballot. For the first time, more people say Republican 48% to Democrat 44%. Why? The Independents. They are now splitting 52% Republican to 30% Democrat. This is…

Palin Church Attacked

Sarah Palin’s church has been attacked.

Ted Stevens loses senate race

Good riddance – if only the Republicans would take ethical standards as seriously as they should, this guy should have been gone many years ago.

Recount

Watched “Recount” on Prime last night. If anyone thinks that is even close to being an objective, even-handed portrayal they need their head seen to, but first come to be, because I have a bridge going cheap. Tellingly, what they never mentioned is that the TV networks actually paid for a full recount themselves and…

Bipartisan

Some Republicans are saying they were preparing to vote “yes” until they heard the closing remarks of Speaker Nancy Pelosi who criticised the ethos of Republican economics, which prompted them to change their minds at the very last minute. Senior Democrats are contemptuous of the idea that senior legislators would plunge their country’s financial system…

Palin Rumours

Well, the list of Palin rumours has reached 71. He’s missing the car wash one. But I love this one: 47: No, she’s not from another planet. No, I haven’t actually heard that one yet, but you wait. Okay, I have now heard it. He’s quite humorous too 64. Yes, she did put the Governors…
