WSJ: America Hates Skinny Negroes

For years, we've watched W run, ride his mountain bike, clear brush, fish and "hit this drive." Now, the WSJ tells me that Obama is wrong for America because he's too fit and trim.

Also, notice something interesting about the art accompanying the WSJ Article?

Sad Desperation, Thy Name is Wall Street Journal

Right. And then the alarm clock went off.

Running to the middle during the summer before a presidential election happens every four years. I never thought it would be any different with the Democratic nominee this year. Which is related to why I never spent too much time howling at the moon over Clinton's war vote.  Political expedience, triangulation ...whatever.

This hardly makes Obama the heir apparent to the single worst presidency of my lifetime. Some would argue it makes him a smart politician, even if they don't agree with his summer voting record.

BTW: Today's WSJ silliness doesn't stop with there. Looks like Karl Rove cribbed this David Brooks piece from earlier this week. That, OR Brooks is pushing the official RNC talking points.

David Brooks Writes Something I Agree With

Oybama!

Socially liberal knowledge workers naturally want to see people like themselves at the head of society, not people who used to run Halliburton and who are supported by a vast army of evangelicals.

A-fuckin'-men. The rest of his formulaic faux-folksy column is pure crap ...and for all the usual reasons.

Your Obama Hatred Has Seriously Clouded Your Judgement

Jesus Christ on a crooked crutch.

I've often complained about the raging, blinding inexplicable hate-hard-on teh Hillary gives certain people. And I guess the same can be said for some who can't abide Obama.

The fact of the matter is, if Obama's campaign can afford to run ads during the Olympic Games and chooses not to, I'll think they're stupid fucking idiots. Let it go already.

Dog Bites Atrios

Seriously, the single best thing about this Thomas Friedman "some Jews are afraid of the Obama, but not me because I'm creative-class" column is this tag at the end:

Maureen Dowd is off today.

Fun with Real Audio John McCain

A Shaker notes that John McCain will appear on SNL this weekend and then posts some vids showing his previous appearances. But, this one is the real knee slapper.

Caucuses Continue to Reveal the "True Will" of the People

Huckabee edition. The first set of data is from last night's election in West Virginia; the second from that state's nominating convention, held in February.

Memes You Won't See in MSM

It looks like 32% of these uneducated, backwoods crackers down in Florida still won't vote for Obama.

Seriously, racist people can be found in all 50 states, in all demographic strata. But you knew that already.
