Rip Rap

Registering Voters Faster than they can Purge Them

GOP Attacks ACORN
Excerpt:
Why are they after ACORN? Well, I'm sure they're going to come up with a lot of "reasons" in the coming days. But the real reason is obvious: Because ACORN, along with Project Vote, just announced that they had successfully registered 1.3 million poor people this year.
I’m thoroughly convinced - that the media hype on ACORN's ability to register voters is meant to divert attention away from the GOP's drive to purge legitimate voters from state rolls.
Jobs, Baby, Jobs!!
Huff Post:
At the Republican National Convention and various GOP rallies, an oft-repeated chant was "drill, baby, drill," a plea for more oil drilling. McCain and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin back more offshore oil drilling; Palin favors drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Hillary said Democrats have a better answer: "Jobs, baby, jobs."
You bet'cha.
Surge In Financial Markets Reflect Growing Hope.
Is this because the world's prospects for hope have gotten audaciously better now that Barack Obama has been surging in the polls?

Hockey Mom Booed Loudly At Flyers Game



"I thought I'd put (daughter) Piper in a Flyers jersey
and bring her out with me. How dare they boo Piper!"-- Sarah Never Cuda
What mom would deliberately use her children as political shields much less subject them to this kind of public humiliation?
Actor Duvall Blasts Palin Critics
ABC News Excerpt:
Introducing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at a GOP fundraiser Monday, actor Robert Duvall blasted conservatives who have criticized the McCain-Palin ticket in recent days, calling conservative columnist George Will a "super-nerd" and former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson a "block of wood".


I still think Androgynous Pat is a better Palin

Much has been made of Tina Fey’s riotous rendition of Sarah Palin and I don’t mean to take anything away from her, but I still think Julia Sweeney, the comedienne who played the Androgynous Pat character from Saturday Night Live (circa 1990-1994) has all the moves, looks and annoying speech patterns from her Pat routine to do Sarah at her best.


Walworth Judge Confirms Man’s Suspicions
Doesn't Like Attitude - Jails Juror
Excerpt:
"Well, it's pretty much the police will say and do anything they want to make a case, and the courts aren't really fair about it. Because if they got money, you can get out of it." In response, Gibbs ordered Jutz in contempt of court and ordered him to spend 24 hours in the Walworth County Jail and pay a $50 fine.


Shocker Endorsement
The Wisconsin State Journal soft-pedaled their endorsement for Barack Obama. Still, this came as a shock to me because the Wisconsin State Journal has a long, long history of promoting a right-wing platform and endorsing Republicans - they endorsed George W. Bush!
Read the Capital Times take on the Journal's Obama endorsement.

Michelle Malkin: Fannie Mae Fatcat friend of Obama buys $4.9 million penthouse.

More proof that the private sector pays better. Goldman Sachs Fatcat Hank Paulson confiscated over $500 million hedging his bets against Wall Street investors only to be rewarded with the keys to the U.S. Treasury. For that matter, Obama's friend got gypped.
