Mørkeblå kverulering, sakligheter, usakligheter og dilldall

Årets frekkeste kryssklepping. Hilarious!
Liberale Rebecca Johnson om hvorfor hun liker henne, og om "the liberals" grenseløse hykleri og småborgerlige snobberi mht. Palin:
My liberal friends were outraged when rumours about Barack Obama attending a Madrassa or being a Muslim surfaced on the internet, but all week they have been gleefully trading emails of Sarah Palin distortions. There was the doctored picture of her carrying a rifle, wearing a stars-and-stripes bikini while a man in the background drank Schlitz beer. Or dopey quotes about God, creationism and moose, all of which have been subsequently debunked.
There have also been snide remarks about Wal-Mart and K-Mart, as if there is something shameful about trying to save money…

Ny, norsk blogg for fans av USAs neste visepresident:-) Her blir det mye bra: http://palinpower.blogg.no/
Pastor Wright, terroristen eks-Ayers… Det er grunn til å sette spørsmålstegn ved Obamas vurderingsevne. Les Michael Barones artikkel i US News
Fra artikkelen:
-He was willing to use Ayers and ally with him despite his terrorist past and lack of repentance. An unrepentant terrorist, who bragged of bombing the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon, was a fit associate. Ayers evidently helped Obama gain insider status in Chicago civic life and politics—how much, we can’t be sure unless the Richard J. Daley Library opens the CAC archive. But most American politicians would not have chosen to associate with a man with Ayers’s past or of Ayers’s beliefs. It’s something voters might reasonably want to take into account.

Slik lyder overskriften på Alice Thompsons kommentar i The Times
-Julie Burchill can’t stand them. According to her new book, Not in my Name: A Compendium of Modern Hypocrisy, she thinks all environmentalists are po-faced, unsexy, public school alumni who drivel on about the end of the world because they don’t want the working classes to have any fun, go on foreign holidays or buy cheap clothes.
-Michael O’Leary, the chief executive of Ryanair, agrees. In an interview with Rachel Sylvester and me, he told us that the “nutbag ecologists” are the overindulged rich who have nothing better to do with their lives than talk about hot air and beans.

Det ser ut som det er håp likevel:-))
Obama, the pompous windbag…
National Review har en fremragende quiz om Obamas floskler; Pop quiz, hot shot. Pick out the "We Are The World" lyrics vs. Obama speech lines.
‘There comes a time when we heed a certain call.’ – There was not a ton to object to, and indeed a lot to like, in Obama’s speech in Berlin. Although I think I preferred it the first time I heard it, when it was sung by all those celebrities and rock stars back in the mid-80s…
Ha-ha-ha:-)
Sjekk podcast og videoopptak fra Cato Institute’s debatt om presidentkandidatenes økonomiske plattform.
I panelet: Sallie James, Center for Trade Policy Studies, Cato Institute, Dan Mitchell, Cato Institute, and Christian Weller, Center for American Progress
Det måtte jo komme. Venter bare på at en politisk korrekt statsprest i Norge plukker opp tråden:
… Gordon Mursell, the Bishop of Stafford, in England, who recently compared climate skeptics to an infamours sadistic criminal:
In a parish newsletter, the bishop said that people who refuse to join the fight against global warming are like Josef Fritzl, the insane criminal in Austria who locked his daughter and her children in a cellar for 24 years. For Mursell, being sceptical about the conventional wisdom on climate change is akin to the monstrous crime committed by Fritzl. He says: ‘You could argue that, by our refusal to face the truth about climate change, we are as guilty as he is.’
