What I Made

Four photos taken of a somewhat unusually pretty suburban sunset, taken with my 1G iPhone, copies tweaked in iPhoto. So simple, a monkey can do this!

Me, I don't find it all that torturous. There's some pretty decent tracks there. But look: the wingnuts must finally be acknowledging that "Born in the USA" is not actually a patriotic song (by their standards (pun intended)) after all. Only took nearly a quarter of a century for the geniuses to get past the title.

And thanks to Mother Jones, you can listen to the playlist and torture yourself. Or maybe find tracks you like!

How To Lose More Gambling

Go to a casino, lose money.

Go to this guy's, lose your money and your nation:
In the Las Vegas casinos that made Sheldon Adelson one of the country's richest men, a "whale" is someone willing to bet millions. Republicans are hoping Mr. Adelson will be their whale this election.

Strapped for cash and facing dozens of tough House and Senate races, the party is expected to lean heavily on outside issue-advocacy groups to mount Republican-friendly campaigns that it can't afford to run itself.

In that largely unregulated arena of independent advocacy, the 74-year-old Mr. Adelson -- a casino tycoon whose battles with Nevada's unions, staunch support for Israel and enormous investments in China have stirred controversy -- is expected to provide one of the biggest bankrolls.

No Sense Of Humor Or Maybe Bad Taste And Ineptitude Just Aren't Funny


Salon thinks the pinkos just don't have a sense of humor.

Well if the joke is that the wingnuts are silly to think the image is in any way true -- that's funny.

But the image doesn't communicate that. Rather it clearly supports the idea that O is some sort of secret terrorist, doesn't it?

And why not? There are more than 1,000,000 known terrorists on the national Terrorist Watch List.

The Son And Grandson Of Admirals, A Naval Academy Graduate, A Senator For Years....

And he's concerned about the security of a nation that hasn't existed for approximately fifteen years. Any lie or stupid remark to push the paranoiac rightist national security line.

Too stupid to be president? You decide. I mean, I understand this triumph of the heart concept but this level of stupidity is a serious threat to the nation and the world.

Beating Up MSM Lackey

Double pleasure for me: MSM hack gets smacked down by an Apple geek (I am a huge Apple geek -- and will be a bigger one, ironically, as I sell off my stock to survive unemployment).

Nostalgic Quote Of The Day

That was then... what a wonderful world no one would say something like this now, in the nihilistic post-Reagan era....
It is Mr. Mellon's credo that $200,000,000 can do no wrong. Our offense consists in doubting it. -- Justice Robert H. Jackson

About The Polls

Sort of like Florida in 2000, there's a large group the pollsters have been ignoring. So whatever poll you look at, there is an inherent pro-O element missing; all polls therefore include a discount, as it were, of O support (which is to say it shows an excess of support for President McCain. (This gets to my theory: even though I am fairly certain McCain will win I acknowledge a big X-factor: O's support among the younger, newer voters, which is a pretty large if undependable block.)
