10 Reasons to Loathe Sarah Palin, Installment 9
Yo, Sarah, here's the dictionary definition of terrorism, cause it seems you're (once again) a little confused:
terrorism |ˈterəˌrizəm|
noun
the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

Oh My God
People are coming to their senses right and left—or should I say, left and right!
This just in from the friendly folks at Huffpo:
Charles Fried, a professor at Harvard Law School, has long been one of the most important conservative thinkers in the United States. Under President Reagan, he served, with great distinction, as Solicitor General of the United States. Since then, he has been prominently associated with several Republican leaders and candidates, most recently John McCain, for whom he expressed his enthusiastic support in January.
This week, Fried announced that he has voted for Obama-Biden by absentee ballot. In his letter to Trevor Potter, the General Counsel to the McCain-Palin campaign, he asked that his name be removed from the several campaign-related committees on which he serves. In that letter, he said that chief among the reasons for his decision "is the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis."
And looky here: the Wall Street Journal gives us all the latest on the "flight to quality" on the right. "Obamacans" is what they're calling 'em.
Opie, Andy, & the Fonz...

Colin Powell Picks Obama
I found myself surprisingly moved by this thoughtful, well considered commentary on the two candidates, and the increasingly harmful and extreme positions being taken by the Republican party. Watch and listen:

What McCain's Friends Are Saying...
From the super-scary Make-Believe Maverick article in Rolling Stone:
"John has made a pact with the devil," says Lincoln Chafee, the former GOP senator, who has been appalled at his one-time colleague's readiness to sacrifice principle for power. Chafee and McCain were the only Republicans to vote against the Bush tax cuts. They locked arms in opposition to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And they worked together in the "Gang of 14," which blocked some of Bush's worst judges from the federal bench.
"On all three — sadly, sadly, sadly — McCain has flip-flopped," Chafee says. And forget all the "Country First" sloganeering, he adds. "McCain is putting himself first. He's putting himself first in blinking neon lights."
