IrishBill at The Standard muses on the reference to ACT in the Dunne story. The way it's written, it seems the Velas thought they had special friends there too ...

Russell do you have anyone from the lab working on this recent embedding failure? I really do want to see all the vids people are posting.
I think the issue might be Flash 10 breaking the embedding. It's working fine for me, but I'm still on Flash 9.
Can I ask everyone it's happening to confirm platform and version? (Right-click on a Flash movie to get the version.)

They just get crazier and crazier
Grigg, I'm taking your Bill-Ayers-somehow-secretly-wrote-Obama's-book and I'm raising you an Obama is the secret love child of Malcolm X.
No shit.
If you scroll down to the end of the hilariously detailed "proof", the comments are even crazier. It's hard to understand how people can be that crazy and not just explode or something.
I'm sure someone would be claiming he's a space alien if Colbert hadn't already done that in February:

Josh comments on some fairly astonishing numbers out of a new CBS poll, where the previously ropey "likely voters" metric is now being seriously re-aligned with the addition of the "already voted":
According to the CBS poll, for all likely voters (that includes those who've already voted plus likelies) it's Obama 54%, McCain 41%.
Among those who've already voted, it's Obama 57%, McCain 38%. And that number is not inconsistent with numbers coming out of a lot of the early voting states.
The numbers among early voters are markedly different -- ie: more Democrat -- to those in 2004.
America might get the landslide it needs.

Nor can this.
That's a great cover. Two words.

Hold on there! There's no way Malkin's gonna let herself be outdone on The Crazy!
Obama volunteers taking Nov 4 off work to take people to the polls and stuff -- it's socialism:
Just arrived in my inbox: The latest directive from Dear Leader’s National Field Director, Jon Carson, instructing cultists to take Election Day off and skip out of work and classes for The One.
The pursuit of “Higher Purpose” requires Obama followers to skip out of their jobs and play hooky from school — while others pick up the slack.
Beat that, lesser wingnuts!!

Palin told WMAL-AM that her criticism of Obama's associations, like those with 1960s radical Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, should not be considered negative attacks. Rather, for reporters or columnists to suggest that it is going negative may constitute an attack that threatens a candidate's free speech rights under the Constitution, Palin said.
"If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations," Palin told host Chris Plante, "then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media."

Labour had been hyping up Brethren-gate Redux for months, and it didn't deliver. Entirely self-inflicted credibility damage at the worse possible moment.
Yes. I had somehow formed the impression that the bomb would be Bill English being outed as a Hollow Men malcontent, or similar.

Finally had a chance to do the quiz myself.
81% Labour. But I was surprised to see the next cab was United bloody Future on 75%

The McCain campaign has been throwing around so much mud and smears in recent weeks that it's easy to miss just how ugly and shameful their character assassination of Rashid Khalidi is. This is an entirely respectable, highly respected scholar. To go further into making a case for him would only be to enable and indulge McCain's sordid appeal to racism. For McCain, personally, to compare Khalidi to a neo-nazi, it's just an offense McCain should never be forgiven for. It's right down in the gutter with Joe McCarthy and the worst of the worst. Khalidi is in this new McCain set piece for one reason -- as a generic Arab, to spur the idea that Obama is foreign, friendly with terrorists and possibly Muslim.
There's also a video commentary there from John Judis at the New Republic.
