best halloween costume ever?

sigh.

Barack Obama may be a New Man for a New Age -- I hope and even believe that he is -- but his way of winning this election, if he does, is a sort of apotheosis of modern advertising and packaging and big-budget electioneering, with a touch of idolatrous fever. There is almost certainly no choice but take this route, but still, I just wonder if a deep conflict of values doesn't lie at the heart of this evidently necessary compromise.

I freaking hate it when someone implements my best ideas.

the voting base

I am uncertain what to think about this.

Does the public really need Leonardo DiCaprio to tell them to vote? Does this sort of thing work?

error of omission

Though I hate going to their site, it appears this morning that Fox is the only news outlet not publishing any poll results regarding the debate. Hmm, I wonder why?

obama campaign email blast

This seems to be getting some legs now, and it's about freaking time.

Julie --

Over the weekend, John McCain's top adviser announced their plan to stop engaging in a debate over the economy and "turn the page" to more direct, personal attacks on Barack Obama.

...

During the savings and loan crisis of the late '80s and early '90s, McCain's political favors and aggressive support for deregulation put him at the center of the fall of Lincoln Savings and Loan, one of the largest in the country. More than 23,000 investors lost their savings. Overall, the savings and loan crisis required the federal government to bail out the savings of hundreds of thousands of families and ultimately cost American taxpayers $124 billion.

Sound familiar?"

cheeky bastard

I am not ashamed to say that I have been a fan of George Michael for much of my life. Apparently he's had a rough go of it this past decade or so. So I was absolutely delighted when I was watching the finale episode of Extras, and he popped up! Additionally, Stewart Copeland and Sting got name-checked.

In summary this is the greatest clip ever which combines many great things including but not limited to Ricky Gervais, members of The Police, cock, and the man who wrote Credit Card Baby.

This country is crazy and everyone is spiritually bankrupt and we've apparently left all rationality buried deep in a Superfund site but you know what's cute? Krafty kitties!

It's like 7 min. long but you'll get the gist after the first minute. Sooooo unbelievable.
