Sarah Haskins takes on Sarah Palin
Submitted by zizabean on Fri, 09/05/2008 - 12:32pm.
Sarah Haskins' latest video targets Sarah Palin, and also notes the right's sudden onset faux feminism. Wtf is up with that? Thanks but no thanks, Mitt & Rudy! We'll take it from here.
Throwing Stones from Glass Churches

There are countless things I could write about today, but I am choosing one.
You can try and use "community organizer" as a slur, but the American people (not the foaming masses at the RNC) are smart enough to realize that you are trying to mock the same thing you are trying to jam down our throats with your "faith-based initiatives." And, I will point out what I know they already know: Obama's community organizing was faith-based.
Now, I have my own feelings and concerns about "faith-based" initiatives. Like how they are kinda unconstitutional. But, you know who doesn't have a problem with them, and for all the talk about how evil government spending is, loves to snatch any federal money they can for it?
Yup. John S. McCain and Sarah Palin. And you can bet that if either of them had done any of it, they would put it front and center.
Don't take it from me. How about hearing it from their own campaign's July 2, 2008 press release?
John McCain supports faith based initiatives, and recognizes their important role in our communities. He has co-sponsored legislation to foster improved partnerships with community organizations, including faith-based organizations...
Can someone explain to me why being on the PTA of a tiny school district is great to tout, but community organizing is demeaning?
One other thing, you need to go back 20 years to get to the community organizing in Obama's career. You only have to go back 22 months to get to Wasilla.
Do you think those Wasillians know how funny they are?

Christmas in August, and the gifts keep coming!

We could on and on about McCain's pick, but I am going to let a McCain Top Advisor do the talking:

It don't get better than that.
Video Games Yes, Knitting No....
Submitted by riled on Thu, 08/28/2008 - 8:09am.
An Ontario library banned a knitting group attended by 6-10 year old girls, ostensibly because they weren't focused enough on literacy, while retaining video games nights that the article says "attract a younger crowd." Younger than 6-10? Seriously? Or could it be, perhaps, that video game nights are more likely to attract boys?
It's a Joke in a Commercial Now
Submitted by spoons on Mon, 08/25/2008 - 9:15pm.
Has anyone seen the newest Maytag commercial that is airing? I can't find it anywhere on the web yet, so I can't link it. But if you watch the clip below, Lou Dobbs shows you some of the commercial (if you are getting an error from CNN's new video service here is a direct link):
The commercial ends with the Maytag Repair Man showing the voters the problem - paper ballots with lots of hanging chads were clogging the machine. He then says "Gotta go. Busy day."
Is this "ha ha" funny? Isn't this issue a bigger concern than can/should be relegated to a pop culture wink? Especially since it doesn't seem to be getting any closer to being solved. When I saw this commercial it really irritated me. Am I overreacting?
