If we're smarter than the Republicans, why aren't we as good at lying as they are? John McCain knows something that Obama doesn't. He knows that the majority of voters are of the Limbaugh proletariat and if he can lie his way into making them believe that he shares their shallowness, he'll get the majority of the vote. Stands to reason. He's presenting himself and Palin like parking lot puddles, small and shallow, just what Limbaugh voters can identify with.

The Palin Catalyst Take equal parts of superstition, fear and ignorance, throw in the catalyst of a nominee for Vice President who is already the single, perfect combination of those ingredients and the reaction produces the enthusiasm for the reversion to case-hardened, hermetically sealed mindlessness that is the driving force that is at the bottom of the hard-right, fundamentalist, religion obsessed fanaticism of the McCain/Palin supporters.

The problem is not the qualifications of the candidate, it's the qualifications of the voter George Bush didn't get to be president all by himself. He had a little help, from 62 million voters, grossly incompetent voters. It is self evident that the people who voted for the most unqualified, ill-equipped man to be president, George Bush, not only once, but twice in a row, and are going to the polls again, are by definition also as unqualified and ill-equipped as he is.

God says that Palin thinks He's George Bush God stops by for coffee, occasionally, on His way to work. This morning we got to talking about the claims of Sarah Palin and Ed Kalnins, the pastor of her long time church. God said He'd never heard of any of these people.

Republicans say Palin passes the Goodling Test Here we go, again. Republican pundits are just tickled pink that Sarah Palin has the only qualification needed to be the next Vice President. She has passed the Goodling Test.

We need to nail the Constitution to the desk in the Oval Office When you get a new toy, an appliance, a computer, any complicated device, you usually get a set of instructions on how to operate it. The Constitution is the operating instructions for the United States. The President, being the executive officer of our nation, needs to have those instructions hand to know what he can do and especially what he can't do, since operating a complex device incorrectly leads to disaster.

Whether it's McCain or Obama, it's a win-win for Republicans Considering the natural hypocrisy of the Republicans, it doesn't matter to them who wins the presidential election. With their ability to distort everything as being good for Republicans, an Obama win can be made into the best thing that ever happened to them, just as a McCain win will be.

You can't slime the slimy Obama can't throw enough slime at the McCain campaign to make any stick. They're already so slimy that whatever Obama throws will be unnoticeable.

Really, McCain is NOT a drooling, bumbling idiot. Yet. Note to the Obama campaign: How about applying a little logic to the futile attempts by the McCain campaign to excuse the fact that though McCain is not a drooling, bumbling, catatonic idiot, he's well on his way.

It's the way McCain gets it exactly wrong that is his virtue for Republicans In spite of McCain getting everything wrong about Iraq, it is his decisiveness in getting it wrong that is so appealing to Republicans.

The magnificent obtuseness of the Washington pundits. If you want a good dose of obtuseness, self deception, distortion, misstatements of fact and good old Republican spin about the Bush administration, you couldn't do better than to read the Washington Post.

Do prices really go up or down? You hear all the time that prices are going to change, they're going to go up or down, or that they have already done so. I looked into it. Prices don't change. They don't go up or down. Here's the proof.

The false ideology that caused our financial failure The title of an article by Lew Rockwell at LewRockwell.com, "The Greatness of the Market in a Crisis," contains the logical contradiction that disproves the title's claim and the premise of the article. The title ignores the glaringly obvious fact that if the market is so great, it wouldn't have created the crisis in the first place.

Conyers' year of tolerating contempt A year ago, July 12, 2007, John Conyers issued subpoenas for Harriet Miers and Joshus Bolten to appear before his House Judiciary Committee as witnesses. They, contemptuously, have never appeared. Now, a year later, Conyers is tolerating the contempt of Karl Rove for the same failure to appear by considering his "options."

The New Yorker is as obtuse as the Republicans The front page New Yorker cartoon revels that the people at the New Yorker are as obtuse as the Republicans. They didn't realize that the Republicans will take the cartoon as a serious, factual portrayal of Obama.

James Baker and Warren Christopher seem to be unaware of the Constitution Even the title of their article, Put War Powers Back Where They Belong, shows their unawareness of the Constitution. The war powers of Congress are still in the Constitution. They have not escaped, leaving Congress powerless. The president, as they imply, has not stolen the war powers and is not hiding them under his desk in the Oval Office.

When Crime is Presented as "Victory" Two newspapers portray George Bush's getting approval from Congress to continue his ongoing criminal enterprise as a "Victory." Even though Congress' approval of Bush's crimes does not prevent them from being crimes, the danger is that people who read these papers will think that when the crimes are presented as victory, they are not crimes.
