Is the Political Statement of the Weather Underground Organization also Obama’s?

Little Green Footballs has made available Prairie Fire, the political statement of the Weather Underground Organization.  It is available here. Please read the document, which is available in pdf.

Notes to a Future Conservative (Part One)

Less than two weeks before the election, almost all of the publicly available polls are pointing to his loss.

What Is Not Being Addressed. And Won’t Be.

This campaign is notable principally because of the participants. The fact that one candidate is black and the other a woman overwhelms Old Media coverage, and so it is the responsibility of New Media to uncover the facts and provide analysis of the candidates’ policies. What is clear is the lack of attention to foreign …

Letterman and Leno make fun of GOP(a lot)… What’s new?

What’s new is that someone is now keeping track.  Seems like a mundane job. A study shows the Kings of Late Night are not equal-opportunity destroyers this year when it comes to telling jokes about the candidates for president and vice president — they’re hammering Republicans a stunning seven times more often than they skewer …

It Is a Presidential Election, Not a Tea Party

It’s a presidential election, not a tea party. You knew it would reach this point. It does every campaign cycle. As election day approaches, the campaigns make their arguments for their candidates and against the other one. That is the normal business cycle of a political campaign. Meanwhile, our sainted Old Media condemn such behavior …
