So what's the latest stupid Palin rumor besides the Sambo thing? It gets more sad each day.

A most useful feature as I've downticked my mistake on occasion.

That would save me some embarrassment.

My father, whose moonbattiness I forgive because he is my father and because he was a liberal when it was liberals who were marching for civil rights, told me on the phone last night he is worried Obama will lose. First time I have heard that from a left democrat.

Sarcastic Palin Ad.

Compared to the attacks it's actually funny.

No comment

So much for Pakistan ... next.

Have they accused SP of being in the Militia thing during the Clinton Administration yet?

re: #1 POTUS

It could be the "succession" rumor (sp).

I wouldn't mind the ability to up- or down-ding my own comments as well. Since we can see who rates what, there's no real concern over someone dinging their own post.

As long as you're under the hood.

Methinks someone forgot the /sarc tag, in what has to be one of the biggest SNAFUs of recent memory.

I went to the Palin-McCain rally yesterday in Sterling Heights, MI.

I would say there were almost 40,000 people there ( there were thousands turned away )

The place was electric. I've never seen anything like it. People love Palin

I would also like to mention that Congresswoman Candice Miller has a cackle that puts Hillary to shame

I don't know about anyone else, but I watched the entire McCain speech.

I liked it (he is not the greatest speechifyer but I have a personal liking for him so it doesn't matter to me)
But when he got to where he said...they broke me, I was crying.
And when he said "STAND UP" stand up and fight for your country, this is America, we can do ANYTHING.......

well..........

I stood up.

So much more powerful than obama's "enough" speech.

Because what McCain said was true.
This is a great nation.

Don't mean to sound hokey, but I put my "Women for McCain" sign out in my yard TODAY!

Yay! I erred in down-ticking once, and felt really bad about it ... still do, in fact.

One feature I've noticed myself wishing for is that the URL field in adding links to LinkViewer be compared to the dB of already-posted URLs ... perhaps a pop-up alert? No sense crowding up the board with duplicates.

At National Review Online:
September 05, 2008, 1:00 p.m.

Proud of the GOP

By Bill Whittle

Two masterstrokes were accomplished in the last two days of this year’s Republican National Convention. In her first appearance on the national stage — which can only be called a tectonic event — Sarah Palin secured the conservative base for maverick John McCain, while also reaching out to Democratic women. Then on Thursday night, John McCain struck again, making a play for the rest of the Democratic party.
[snip]
She is so absolutely, remarkably, spectacularly ordinary. I think the magic of Sarah Palin speaks to a belief that so many of us share: the sense that we personally know five people in our immediate circle who would make a better president than the menagerie of candidates the major parties routinely offer. Sarah Palin has erupted from this collective American Dream — the idea that, given nothing but classic American values like hard work, integrity, and tough-minded optimism you can actually do what happens in the movies: become Leader of the Free World, the President of the United States of America. (Or, well, you know, vice president.)

Sarah Palin has done more than unify and electrify the base. She’s done something I would not have thought possible, were it not happening in front of my nose: Sarah Palin has stolen Barack Obama’s glamour. She’s stolen his excitement, robbed his electricity, burgled his charisma, purloined his star power, and taken his Hope and Change mantra, woven it into a cold-weather fashion accessory, and wrapped it around her neck.

re: #44 Fat Jolly Penguin

/Microsoft Windows

What if Microsoft Built Cars?

Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car. Occasionally your car would just die on the highway for no reason. Accept this, restart and drive on.

Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause the car to stop and fail to restart. You'd have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this too.

You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "Car 95" or "Car NT". But then you'd have to buy more seats.

Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was twice as reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive - but it would only run on five percent of the roads.

The oil, engine, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced with a single "General Car Fault" light.

People would get excited about "new" features in Microsoft cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in other cars for years.

We'd all have to switch to Microsoft gas and auto fluids.

New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.

The airbag system would say, "Are you sure?" before going off.

If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.

Microsoft cars would have a special radio/cassette player which would only be able to listen to Microsoft FM and play Microsoft cassettes.

If you couldn't afford to buy a new car, you could borrow your friend's and copy it.

Whenever you bought a car, you would have to reorganize the ignition a few days until it worked.

You would need an upgrade to run cars on a highway next to each other.

re: #53 Typicalwhitey

I know exactly what you mean. I've ordered my stickers and yard-signs. Finally, a reason to be excited again! Thank you John McCain.

Speaking of being positive,

Two atoms were walking down the street and accidentally ran into each other.

"Are you alright?"

"No, I think I lost an electron."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive."

re: #24 acfunk
you mis spelled your nic..take out the N and move the C over to its spot.

Best quote of the day, from a commentator at Hot Air, regarding Obama's reaction to Palin:

I think the Manchurian Candidate’s memory chip short circuited.

re: #63 FurryOldGuyJeans

That it was starting to resemble a comedy routine often performed by a couple of guys who do tours of Renaissance Festivals.

Ya know, I like the down-and-up-dinging of comments, but I am glad that the down-dinging doesn't bury comments (ala digg). That would kind atrophy the debate around here. I just instinctively dislike group think, even when I agree with it.

A term best avoided, I say.

This downtick was not a mistake. And it seems she is actually quiet successful. More successful than a lot of 'traditional' women. Which is why the left is so enraged.

The Left was founded in the French Revolution in the concept of total liberation. Liberation from everything... whatever the hell that might mean.

re: #85 pittboy

From what I've seen in the past week. it looks like many dems are now noticing the empty suit that every lizard has seen for months. The attacks will be over the top nasty because they are afraid.

I think the difference is that these concerns, while always there, have only been given prominent mainstream press coverage recently because of the Republican convention.

For example, while we Lizards didn't need Giuliani to tell me Obama voted "present" 150 times, and that sort of ambivalence isn't becoming of the putative Commander-in-chief, I think that a lot of Americans (probably MOST Americans, even) didn't know about Obama's wishy-washy legislative history there.

Obama wrote two autobiographies, but no significant pieces of legislation. . .same idea.

And you've put your finger on why the Left is going ballistic over her.

She is the ACTUAL model of feminism that every so-called feminist talks about but rarely sees. . .the successful self-made professional woman who DID raise a family too.

The problem being that her being pro-life runs counter to the core of (IMO stupid) modern feminist ideology.

Campaign material in classrooms sparks debate

School Principal Letizia Haugabrook said students saw bits and pieces of the Democratic National Convention during the week of Aug. 25-29, but no Obama ad was shown.

Information from Haugabrook is in a Sept. 3 letter to schools Superintendent Anna Cowin. Haugabrook was responding to an inquiry on what was shown in Oak Park classrooms the week of the Democratic convention.

Cowin said Friday that, in speaking to Haugabrook, she feels certain material from Republican presidential nominee John McCain and the GOP convention would be shown at Oak Park and all schools via Channel One.

But teachers are not required to show both sides of a political contest or issue. It is assumed that instructors will use good judgment when using the channel, Cowin said.

/yeah, hey, don't you trust the socialist teacher's unions to be fair and do the right thing?

40 Years After Capture, USS Pueblo Crew Reunites

JERICHO, Vt. — Ralph McClintock expected only a three-week mission when he boarded the USS Pueblo in January 1968.

Instead, he and his shipmates became pawns in a Cold War sideshow when North Korea captured the Navy spy ship and imprisoned its 82 crew members. Some still suffer the physical effects of torture or malnutrition they suffered in 11 months of captivity.

McClintock is proud of his service as a 24-year-old communications technician and the bonds he made with his crew mates, but that pride is tinged with bitterness.

Feds to Take Over Fannie, Freddie

The government is expected to take over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as soon as this weekend in a monumental move designed to protect the mortgage market from the failure of the two companies, which together hold or guarantee half of the nation's mortgage debt, a person briefed on the matter said Friday night.

Taxpayers on the hook for monumental incompetence, again.

Hell, let's just have the feds give out the doomed loans to begin with, cut out the middle man. While we're at it, let's bail out people who lose their asses on stocks. How were they supposed to know the value was going to drop?

As long as they seize it and dissolve it in an orderly fashion, it will be overall a good thing. So far, I think Paulson and Bernanke have played things very well indeed, given the cards they were dealt.

Actually, I just heard 0bambi speechifying about it, saying the US government should not bail out companies that were making obscene profits, or something like that. IOW, 0bambi was just spouting Marxist dogma, he is several steps behind the ball on this, or is perhaps entirely ignorant about not just Fannie and Freddie, but the current problems with CDOs, and maybe economics in general, and indeed he may be wearing two left shoes.

re: #137 ZoomieMSgt

They still teach lessons learned from that. The full story is truely harrowing.

It is harrowing. And I am just now learning about it, through links people have posted here. This happened when I was a year old, and I never heard much about it until just recently.

Obama's Job Description as Community Organizer

When he later became a community organizer in Chicago, part of his job was storytelling. "His job largely consisted of interviewing community members and creating a narrative out of their experiences, the problems the community faced," says his boss at that time, Gerald Kellman.

[Link: www.newsweek.com...]
This story was reported by Richard Wolffe with Obama;

Sounds like a sociology project a high school student could do!

Note: absolutely no mention that he had to find any solution to the problems or take any action other than interview and write a report.

Render seems to have gone AWOL. I always looked forward to his comments. He took no prisoners, metaphorically speaking of course. I hope he's OK!

Maybe Charles should give a time limit for reversals, like one hour or something. A window for corrections.

That's what I'm saying, it's a prerequisite for senior managment. I just would like to see the contortions on O!'s face if someone would ask that question. Tormented between admission he's never been an executive and the need to not be mean vis his base.

I was at Shabbat services today at a Chabad in a northwest suburb of Boston (actually 495 belt), and found a lot more support for McCain than I expected.
I knew there would be some, such as the Republican from NH, but I saw more, including at least one who is voting for McCain due to Palin.
But it is a much more conservative area than the Boston and Peoples' Republic of Cambridge area.
Still, it would be nice if Mass went for McCain.

Anybody see a resemblance of the Palin family to the family in The Incredibles?

So I guess another rumor being passed around is that Palin is a book burner.
Here is a discussion in which the list of books Palin sought to have banned in 1996is shown. Unfortunately, there are several books on the list which were published well after 1996, most notably all four Harry Potter books on the list. The list is a generic list floating around the internet for years which is merely books that have been banned or attempted to ban somewhere in the world, sometime in history. I enjoy nutcasery as much as the next guy, but this is actually starting to get boring.

Some on DU are still insisting that Sarah Palin was whisked away to Alaska immediately following the convention, to go into hiding, as her dismissal for the ticket is imminent. That was not, I repeat, not her in Wisconsin with John McCain. Nor Colorado. Nor New Mexico.
