John McCain invented the BlackBerry?

You want to hear something downright stupid? A lot of blogs are saying that John McCain’s campaign is claiming he invented the BlackBerry — and they’re not entirely wrong. From the end-all, be-all politics blog, Politico: “He did this,” Douglas Holtz-Eakin told reporters this morning, holding up his BlackBerry. “Telecommunications of the United States is [...]

Obama’s 527s (or “Damn, that didn’t take long”)

About time somebody hit back.

Olbermann: 9/11™

What Dems Wish Obama Would Say…

You know, I love Andrew Sullivan. Sure, he and I disagree on a great many things I’m sure, but he’s a true conservative and not one of the blind followers ala Malkin. So, by proxy I love Andrew Sullivan’s readers, and I urge you all to read one of Sullivan’s reader’s emails. I wish beyond [...]

Dear GOP: Why Did You Steal My DNC Donation?

You have probably heard all about the American Flags that were used at McCain’s recent stop in Colorado Springs. If not, I’ll recap the story for you really quick: Basically, the DNC bought some 125,000 miniature American Flags for the crowds to wave around inside the Pepsi Center and Invesco Field Mile High Stadium. After [...]

Thank You, Keith.

If you were watching the convention coverage last night, you may have seen the grotesquely inappropriate 9/11 “tribute” video that was run at the Republican National Convention. In a video of 2:49 in length, 2:07 of it was spent showing slow-motion footage of one of the aircraft hitting the World Trade Center, the collapse of [...]

Unemployment Rate Jumps to 6.1%

Just last month the United States hit a four-year high in unemployment rates, at 5.7%. Now it’s jumped to 6.1%, with some 84,000 jobs being lost over the past month. But we’re not in a recession. Oh no.
