Monday, September 8th, 2008A McClatchy report today has information about the government takeover of lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In the report, Sarah Palin, shows her complete naivete of the Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae situation.
McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, speaking in Colorado Springs, Colo., said Fannie and Freddie had “gotten too big and too expensive [...]
FactCheck.Org: Palin’s Speech Full of Crap
Saturday, September 6th, 2008FactCheck.org picked apart Sarah Palin’s speech. Needless to say, it’s a bunch of malarkey.
They also found holes in the speeches given by Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee.
Get the full analysis here:

Summary:
Sarah Palin’s much-awaited speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night may have shown she could play the role of attack dog, but [...]
Free Obama/Biden Bumper Sticker
Friday, September 5th, 2008Whatever your feelings about MoveOn.org, (I think John Stewart summed up mine: “Making even people that agree with you cringe.”) they are giving away free Obama/Biden bumper stickers, even the shipping is free with no obligations or forced donation.

James Carville vs. Michelle Bachman
Friday, September 5th, 2008I almost missed this one. James Carville and Congresswoman Michelle Bachman were on Larry King Live on Tuesday discussing Sarah Palin’s qualifications.
Carville pointed to her complete lack of experience, noting correctly that she had only been out of the country once and has absolutely no foreign policy experience. Michelle Bachman tried some line about her [...]
The Cowardice of Aerial Hunting
Thursday, September 4th, 2008I generally tend to stay away from environmental or animal rights issues because, quite frankly, nobody cares, but I have to say that I find this aerial hunting practice inhumane and uncalled for.
Basically, in Alaska, hunters fly low in airplanes when the ground is white with snow and spook wolves until they’re exhausted. Once they’ve [...]
Politicization of 9/11 – RNC Video
Thursday, September 4th, 20087 years later and they’re still politicizing 9/11 and exploiting those that lost their life on 9/11. We’ve all seen 9/11 tribute videos and this is not what they look like.
This is the politics of fear plain and simple.
I am so disgusted when politicians use 9/11 to make a political point. The Republican National [...]
Organizers Fight Back
Thursday, September 4th, 2008After the attacks by Governor Patacki, Rudy Giuliani, and Sarah Palin on community organizers, a group has gotten together to fight back against these, well, smears on their occupation.

Palin Emails Call for Wooten’s Firing
Thursday, September 4th, 2008The Washington Post today released portions of emails written by Sarah Palin to Walter Monegan pretty directly calling for his dismissal.
Here is an excerpt:
“It was a joke, the whole year long ‘investigation’ of him. This is the same trooper who’s out there today telling people the new administration is going to destroy the trooper organization, [...]
Politico Apologizes on Behalf of the Media
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Politico apologized on behalf the entire Media and ‘Media Elite’ to the McCain/Palin campaign. They really feel as though the media crossed the line by doing their job. They feel really bad about actually doing research on the woman that could be one heartbeat away from the presidency.
It’s a good read. Almost as sarcastic as [...]
Jon Stewart Slams Palin Coverage Hypocrisy
Thursday, September 4th, 2008On last night’s Daily Show, Jon Stewart lit up Karl Rove, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Dick Morris, Nancy Pfotenhauer (McCain Staffer), and Sarah Palin for their hypocrisy on views such as experience, teen pregnancy, and sexism.
He highlighted Karl Rove’s downing of Tim Kaine’s experience as a mayor and governor and subsequent lavishing of Sarah Palin’s [...]
