Desperately needed comic relief
I love Will Ferrell:

If you vote for Obama, this is what you’re voting for (Reminder #3)
The following two things cannot both be true:
1. Obama, with the help of David “the Astroturf King” Axelrod, has run a brilliant internet/grassroots/media campaign, shaping the discourse in the netroots and the media throughout the election season.
2. Obama has no knowledge of, or control over, the virulent misogyny that his supporters have displayed [...]
This is what a conservative feminist looks like
I’m a feminist. I’m also a liberal. The two are not synonymous.
There have always been women who are feminists without being liberals or leftists. That’s because feminism is bigger and broader than our existing American political distinctions. It is entirely possible to be a feminist — to believe in and advocate [...]
Who’s the dumbest Vice-Presidential candidate?
It’s not Sarah Palin:
Actually, a friend in Democratic circles assures me that Joe Biden isn’t really stupid; he’s just drunk. Either way, the dude’s speech on the coming doom that will grip the Obama administration gave me one of the few belly laughs I’ve had recently. Go out and win those votes, Joe!

If you vote for Obama, this is what you’re voting for (Reminder #2)
Obama fans demonstrate their support for their candidate:
You can buy similar shirts at Cafe Press:
So is Sarah Palin a cunt because she’s a Republican? Hardly:
If you were an active Hillary campaigner or even blog citizen this past year, you know that Obama supporters call Hillary “cunt” the way bears shit in the woods: naturally, [...]
Unintentionally terrifying email from Hillary Clinton
Email from Hillary Clinton:
Dear Violet,
Sixty is the magic number. If we reach 60 Democrats in the Senate, then the days of Republican obstruction are over. With Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the White House and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish.
Holy shit. Because this is what I [...]
If you vote for Obama, this is what you’re voting for (Reminder #1):
“Terry Tate” expresses his support for Obama in typical Obamabot fashion:
The Obama movement is notorious for its misogyny, from the “iron my shirt” attacks on Hillary to the actual violence perpetrated against female McCain-Palin supporters. It’s the most vicious and sustained bout of public woman-bashing I’ve ever seen in this country. I’m going [...]
McCain is a moron
This is so stupid I’m having trouble believing he really said it. It’s on CNN, so I guess he did, but Jesus Horatio Christ:
“She has excited and energized our base. She is a direct counterpoint to the liberal feminist agenda for America. She has a wonderful family. She’s a reformer. She’s a conservative. She’s [...]
“Stone her”
That was the cry when Sarah Palin appeared at a campaign stop in Philadelphia. “Let’s stone her, old school!” yelled a man in the crowd.
Maybe that’s next.
Over at The New Agenda, Amy Siskind raises the spectre of Kitty Genovese and asks, “Are Democratic women the new bystanders?”
What started as “MILF” has taken [...]
Obama’s voter fraud
A few months ago I became involved in the investigation of the caucus fraud committed by the Obama campaign during the primaries. When I started, I had no pre-conceived ideas about what had happened. The notion of a major, concerted fraud operation frankly struck me as unlikely.
Then I began working with [...]
