The Kerfuffle Over The Mangled Oath
“Oaf of Office” is the title of a funny column by Steven Pinker in the Jan 22nd NY Times about how the oath of office for President Obama got mangled. An excerpt: “On Tuesday, Chief Justice John Roberts joined the Flubber Hall of Fame when he administered the presidential oath of office apparently without notes. Instead of having Barack Obama ...

Re: McCain and Palin BARELY graduated college!
WoW. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It's amazing that Palin even got elected GOVERNOR never mind selected as VP! No wonder she doesn't know anything and they both seem fairly, um, well, unsophisticated (to be kind). I know who I'm voting for!

Obama's Plan Means You Pay Your Fair Share of Taxes
Thank you for putting the concern about taxing people who earn more than $250,000 per year in perspective. Think about this, America, only 1.9 percent of American households earn more than $250,000 per year. What are they crying about? Because they are only 1.9 percent of U.S. households, they are among the elite. If they cannot afford the ...

Mr. Webster describes profession as the act of taking the vows of a religious community, or: an act of openly declaring or publicly claiming a belief or faith: an avowed religious faith a: a ...

What the dems need to be talking about
Mr. McCain says the reason he is running negative and false ads is that he did not get the debates he wants and the trip to Iraq with Senator Obama that he wants. That puts him in the same group with 2 year olds. Do you want a two year old to be president? It also says this is the way he is going to be with congress if he does get elected. That ...

What DFW thought about McCain 08
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121218708445533979.html?mod=googlenews_wsj McCain himself has obviously changed; his flipperoos and weaselings on Roe v. Wade, campaign finance, the toxicity of lobbyists, Iraq timetables, etc. are just some of what make him a less interesting, more depressing political figure now—for me, at least. It's ...

Liberal Media Lies
Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away. Political logic augurs a democratic triumph? Augur: To predict, especially from signs or omens; foretell. What signs or omens are they looking ...

Re: Put Obama on the spot with his lies-Part 2
Obama misleads and LIES on Oil Profits Speaking to a town hall meeting on July 31, 2008. Barack Obama tries to slant the money made by the oil industry as being bad. What he once again neglected, ignored, chose not to mention on purpose is the record amount of money the United States Government has raked in from Exxon. Once again the politicians ...

GABFEST RE: BROOKS COLUMN
REGARDING: GABFEST ON POTUS 08 (SLATE.COM) I heard your conversation regarding David Brooks vacuous column on Senator Obama. You indicated agreement that Obama seems not to ''take and action,'' to be ''too thoughtful,'' to not have substance. Really? This young, bi-racial man who grew up without a father in the home, raised by a single mother ...
