OBAMA’S ‘CHANGE’: BACK TO THE DEMOCRATIC WASHINGTON INSIDERS, from DickMorris.com. This article is of special personal interest to me, given a conversation I had with a guy I met at a birthday party earlier this year, during the primaries. He informed me that the best thing about Obama was what an outsider he was, and how every person he brought in through his administration was going to be new blood. I would imagine that guy is fairly disappointed now, given that a huge majority of Obama’s people are old Washington hacks. Now that’s change I can believe in!

The Treatment of Bush Has Been a Disgrace, from the Wall Street Journal. Written by a former John Kerry advisor, no less. One of my favorite things to do in the last couple years is to talk to all the gigantic “Bush haters,” and ask them to explain to me why he is so evil. Usually I get, “oh he’s a war monger,” or “he lied about WMDs!” Now don’t get me wrong, Bush has done plenty of things that upset me. But I can at least define what those things are. I guess what it really must come down to is the fact that Leonardo Decaprio and Kanye West think that Bush sucks, and that must mean it’s true. The level of blind hatred backed up by complete ignorance from most of this country over the last four years has been pathetic. It’s be nice to see general unfounded hatred replaced by obvious, unfettered Obama fawning from celebrities and the media for the next four years. Or not.

Joe the Plumber case still dripping from Ohio.com. If Obama’s/the media’s treatment of Joe The Plumber is any indication of what the next four years are going to be like, then fasten your seatbelts. If there was any justice in the world there would be rioting in the streets over this one. Government agencies using government resources to smear/discredit a private citizen because they dared to ask His Mercifulness a question? Terrifying.

Report: ‘08 turnout same as or only slightly higher than ‘04 from CNN.com

Tolerance fails T-shirt test from the Chicago Tribune. An 8th grader wore a “McCain Girl” t-shirt to school as an experiment and recorded the results.

FRANKEN ‘FIXES’ STALK SENATE RACE from NY Post. Al Franken is an idiot, and I sincerly hope he doesn’t manage to weasel (read: cheat) his way into the Senate.

And I thought Global Warming was a slam dunk? Shame that some of the “data” reported recently has been shown to be fraudulent, and apparently sea ice is growing fast.

Good summary of some arguments against all the Prop 8 protesting at PowerlineBlog.com. And just in case you didn’t know, Prop 8= Hate, which must mean No on Prop 8= happy love feelings. Just don’t tell these guys or these guys. Yay Democracy!
