In addition to the usual music video today, I proudly present Josh Schroeder’s answer to MoveOn.org’s “Not Alex” ad

Let’s get Josh’s video viral. Now, on with the music…

  • James Wigderson is celebrating 4 years in the blogosphere.
  • Start of the run at crAP – Michelle Malkin duns “that news organization” for $132,125.
  • Smackdown part deux – Jim Lynch reveals “that news organization’s” top-secret price list for words.
  • And the hits just keep on coming – Ace makes “that news organization” an offer it can’t refuse – $25.00 per link.
  • Jim Geraghty marvels at the supposed ‘Rat infestation of Ohio, to the tune of 55% of the populace according to Public Policy Polling. I wonder if that sort of bias crept into Quinnipac’s claim (once again, Jim is the Indispensible One) of an Obamination surge in Florida and Pennsylvania.
  • Ed Driscoll wonders whether Barack Obama will take the second-last major “first hyphenated-American President” title. Why not; Bill Clinton stole the “first ‘black American’ President” one.
  • Zip has Obama’s latest flip; he was for an undivided Jerusalem before he was against it. Now, where did the RNC put the official mascot of the John “Flipper” Kerry campaign?
  • McQ takes “Constitutional Law Professor” Obama (he was only a Senior Lecturer at the University of Chicago) to task over his view of the federal judiciary’s role.
  • A brief respite from the Obamination; Jay asks why we’re not impeaching the Lawgivers-In-Black that gave Islamokazis captured on the battlefield habeas corpus rights. Simple answer; ever since the end of WWII, more than a third of Congress has been invested in using SCOTUS as the means to cram the parts of the agenda that can’t fly through Congress down our throats.
  • Uncle Jimbo puts Obama’s foreign policy in the crosshairs and fires for effect. I do have to say that the Don’t Be A Douche’ t-shirt UJ’s wearing (available at the Blackfive store) is a beaut; I got mine yesterday.
  • The Game provides evidence of Obama’s willful ignorance on energy. If only John McCain didn’t have that plank in his eye (and yes, I’m discounting his “let’s open up the coasts” claim; he’s giving the states veto over that),….
  • Sister Toldjah takes a log-splitter to Algore Goracle’s increased electricity usage after he “greened up” his house.
  • SteveF delivers today’s economic warning about Gorebal “Warming”
  • William Teach drops the LinkBomb on the acolytes.
  • The Chris that’s On The BorderLine (there’s too many Chrises in my feed reader) explores the economics of loading the family in a Suburban for a trip between western Wisconsin and Chicago and a train trip between St. Paul and Chicago. He actually underestimates the Suburban’s highway mileage (it’s closer to 19 mpg than 12), and still the vehicle slated to become the “cause” of Janesville’s downfall comes out on top.
  • Warner Todd Huston cheers the Road-to-Damascus-Baghdad moment of James Kirchick, assistant editor of The New Republic. I expect PJ-Comix to note his tombstoning in the next day or two.
  • Wyatt Earp is amazed that a Romanian village voted for the dead guy. No word on whether he supports the Obamination like Chicago’s dead. One more thing; for those of you who haven’t found Wyatt’s new home, he has an inducement for you (I’ll take the first bribe; the second does absolutely nothing for me).
  • Flip has a contrarian reality check for at least most of those that think that rising gas prices are the end of the world. That’s right; adjusted for inflation, gas prices have “only” gone up 43%, or less than the average tax rebate welfare payment.
  • Cindy Kilkenny found another liberal government entity that requires photo ID, and this one’s to vote; the Elmbrook School Board. It truly is ironic how “protective” of the process those liberal entites can get when it comes time to oppose their free-spending ways.
  • Lawhawk deciphers the code of conduct Hamas is using; shell all they can just before a hudna, then wait for Israel to respond after the hudna takes hold and prepare to whine to the world how Israel is the bad guy.
  • Jib offers his own “Man Talk-to-Chick Speak” translation. Ladies, pay attention. Jib knows what he’s talking about.

Who’s Using the Boogieman?

by @ 9:15. Filed under Politics - National.

In yesterday’s tete-a-tete over terrorism policy, Barack Obama was quoted:

"What they are trying to do is what they’ve done every election cycle which is to use terrorism as a club to make the American people afraid, to win elections, that’s what they’re trying to do," Obama told reporters on a flight to Washington D.C.

Barack doesn’t understand the difference between talking candidly about issues and reality and waving the spectre of a boogieman in the dark.

Pot meet thyself!
Take a look at this new Democrat ad put out by Moveon.org:

See, this is waving a boogieman in the dark. Barack and any other “thinking” individual knows exactly what McCain’s comment was on the issue of “100 years in Iraq,” yet they won’t discuss the policy candidly.

Change? Twisting words and libeling your opponent…nope, looks like the same old Chicago politics that we’ve all come to laugh at.

Al, Al, Al

A year ago the King of Gorebal Warming, Al Gore himself, was reported to use energy in his house equal to that of 20 average homes.

Well, Al wasn’t going to be a hypocrite! He immediately went about making his house “green.” According to this report he went about adding…

solar panels, installing a geothermal system, replacing existing light bulbs with more efficient models, and overhauling the home’s windows and ductwork

However, instead of getting the “Most likely to be Kermit” award for his greening, something went wrong! Al’s energy usage went up 10%! Al now uses nearly 50% more energy, EACH MONTH, than the average household USES IN A YEAR!

The minute I read this article I knew exactly what had gone wrong. After changing his lighting over to the compact fluorescents I’m sure he doubled the number of fixtures so that he had enough light to actually see anything!

Better luck next year Al….We’ll be watching!

When Trying to Get Yourself Out of a Hole..First, Quit Digging

Reuters reports  on yesterday’s back and forth between Obama and McCain regarding the War on Terrorism.

WASHINGTON – A defiant Barack Obama said Tuesday he would take no lectures from Republicans on which candidate would keep the U.S. safer, a sharp rebuke to John McCain’s aides who said the Democrat had a naive, Sept. 10 mind-set toward terrorism.

Well yes, why listen to anyone who isn’t you? Barack doesn’t want to hear about or go to Iraq, he knows those answers. He doesn’t want to hear about drilling for oil, he knows only more taxes will solve the energy problem. Barack doesn’t want to get insight from anyone…unless you happen to be a dictator or terrorism sponsor in some country that he considers “no threat.”

"In part because of their failed strategies, we’ve got bin Laden still sending out audio tapes, so I don’t think they have much standing to suggest that they’ve learned a lot of lessons from 9/11."

Yeah, I guess failure is what you would call the ability to prevent any domestic terror attacks since 9/11. Or that the number of total terrorism victims is down worldwide. Yup, sounds pretty awful!

“Let’s take the example of Guantanamo. What we know is that in previous terrorist attacks, for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center, we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated,” Obama said in the interview.

“And the fact that the administration has not tried to do that has created a situation where not only have we never actually put many of these folks on trial, but we have destroyed our credibility when it comes to rule of law all around the world,” he said.

Ummmmm, Barack, You do know that the guys who flew the planes died that day right? You also know that the folks in Guantanamo were captured on foreign soil right? I’m hoping you know that the one person suspected of being involved with 9/11, who was caught on US soil, Zacarias Moussaoui, plead guilty and is spending the rest of his life as a guest of the Federal Prison System? You claim to be a Professor of Constitutional Law…I’m guessing even you should be able to understand (5 small brains on SCOTUS not withstanding) the difference between those situations?

Obama’s “Nay, nay, nay, nay” moment was from CBS:

"What they are trying to do is what they’ve done every election cycle which is to use terrorism as a club to make the American people afraid, to win elections, that’s what they’re trying to do," Obama told reporters on a flight to Washington D.C.

Why Barack, you almost got one right! Yes, we on the Right do intend to use terrorism as separating point in this election. However, I can’t give you full points for your answer. Americans are not afraid to win elections. They are however, afraid of giving elections to people who have a view of the world that is myopic and pollyannish to the point of putting the safety of their families at risk.
