  • Hard News: Loving your dog and owning…,

    finding out the astounding news that the man is a Hammers fan!?!

    OMG, that says it all about the Dem's desire to actually win anything. Its the taking part that counts, I suppose.

    That article is a treasure, BTW. Most of the UK hates Arsenal enough without having this revealed:

    First there was Osama bin Laden's association with Arsenal, which led to the north Londoners reportedly banning the terrorist from attending any future games.

    Bin Laden was apparently on the terraces as Arsenal side reached the final of the European Cup Winners Cup in 1994 season. The man behind the Sept 11 attack was rumoured to be so smitten with the Gunners that he bought a replica kit for his eldest son.

    Indeed, Idiot/Savant. And perhaps someone could tell Ms. Street

    Craig, remember the goal posts and someone called sagenz?

    I think this is a pot and kettle moment.

    Russell, Daniel Pipes has pre-empted your snide remarks thusly:

    Calling this a falsehood is in itself a falsehood.

    So there, take that...and that.

    Angus, Palin is a liability because she is a lier. Since her appointment the McCain campaign seems to have had to triple its own lie quotient.

    So...are folks really going to believe JM when he says he is going to reform the ol' boys network responsible for the Wall Street crash?

    No, and that seems to be a result of the decision to pick Palin.

    Talking of Democrat assets, keep an eye on Biden:

    Simon Grigg is right. The mistake the Rep. ticket is making now is to be doing all the lying themselves. In the past they have left this to proxies. This year they are lying, and then lying about the lies. It is not a good look and it is getting out there.

    If you have time, check out Obama's quote about a meeting of the "ol boys network" being a McCain staff meeting. That's a killer quote.

    Simon Grigg - has anyone else noticed he is world famous on Air NZ?

    Those quiz question thingies that flash up on the TV screens between Wellington and Auckland have a question about a House Music club set up in the 80s by SG. Buggered if I can remember the answer :-0

    Oh, Yes, that was completely OT...as you were.

    The scale of the problem is such that it demands an intellectual heft that I think is simply beyond McCain, whatever other qualities he might claim.

    Obama has much more of the intellectual grunt and, importantly, the quality of advice

    Obama is making more and more speeches like this one:

    This is not your ordinary stump speech, it is pretty substantial. I think the post RNC/Palin bounce is already being eroded and for good reason.
