There were lots of things that made me tear my hair out over the McCain campaign. His refusal to make an issue of Jeremiah Wright, and even criticizing others for doing so, was the biggest. Second was not looking closely enough at the Ayers issue to put the lie to Obama’s claim that their relationship [...]

This is especially funny satire to me because I love zombie flicks. The Onion on the fate of the Obama-obsessed voters now that he’s won it:
Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are
Thank God there are people with a sense of humor today. With Obamageddon just weeks from now, I really [...]

Over at Ace’s and at his own site, Slublog recommended Steven den Beste’s commentary on the coming Obama presidency, which den Beste titles, “It’s not the end of the world.” Sure hope not. But there’s plenty of bad news in it, and I didn’t think anybody could be more pessimistic than me.
Here’s one overview, which [...]

I know there are already thousands of posts up by conservatives expressing their frustration with the election results. So I knew I could find one that summed up my feelings pretty well, saving me the problem of struggling to come up with the words. My election night soul mate is John Derbyshire at The Corner:
I’m [...]

“There’s no such thing as a former Marine.” That’s something every Marine is taught, and it symbolizes the common bond of all United States Marines, past, present, and future.
Long after I left the Corps, I met a young Marine who, upon learning of my service, reminded me that there’s no such thing as a [...]

Make that an awful lot of predictions of (or wishes for) a squeaker, over at NRO. Rob Long’s is the most concise: “To be succinct, I would say this about the election: Build an ark.”
One of the more pessimistic in the bunch says that the video below is a pretty good “cinematic depiction of [...]

HotAir’s Ed Morrisey has an optimistic election prediction:
McCain/Palin 273 electoral votes
Obama/Biden 265 electoral votes
He predicts both Ohio and Pennsylvania going for McCain, and I think that may be likely after the release of Obama’s comments on coal from last January’s San Francisco Chronicle interview. He also gives [...]

Really!
According to the person that posted this at YouTube, this vide is from December 6, 2004. You think Obama “did anything” between then and when he actually started campaigning for president? What was it, two years?
Jonah Goldberg at The Corner wants to know why this wasn’t in a McCain campaign ad. I [...]

At Huffpo today, Earl Ofari Hutchinson says that the recent charges against Obama may not keep him from getting elected, but will dog his administration (emphasis mine):
The much vaunted October surprise turned out to be not one surprise but a succession of surprises. And they all seemed to go bust. Let’s tick them off. Obama [...]

From her interview on Dennis Prager’s radio show broadcast on October 27, 2008:
The bottom line that one can’t get away from . . . we are now about to elect a president, for the first time in our history, who believes, as he as indicated, that we are the moral inferior to most of the [...]

I’ve had about as much as I can stand of this guy, though I suppose I have to thank him for providing us with this to talk about all weekend: “I don’t know when they [McCain and Palin] decided that they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”
Just who’s making a virtue [...]

I’m giving it some thought. (Gee, aren’t you just tingling with anticipation?) But I probably won’t. My Macbook is only a month old, and I don’t want to throw it against the wall . . . which tonight’s infomercial will probably make me want to do. Maybe if I was looking for a new laptop [...]

OK, I know you’ve all seen this video, Obama Bombshell Redistribution of Wealth Audio Uncovered:
Obama’s response? All he meant was that redistribution would have to be undertaken legislatively rather than in the courts. That’s supposed to make me feel better?
The thing is, I think that is exactly what his response was, but that he (more [...]

I’m hoping to post a set of predictions for the first term of an Obama presidency. One of those predictions is that Obama will crack down of free speech — specifically, political speech in opposition to Obama or his policies.
When you consider the insane charges made against President Bush and the right in recent years, [...]

Victor Davis Hanson on Republicans endorsing Obama based on their belief that he will govern as a centrist rather than a leftist:
Why do so many conservatives think that an Obama-elect might be prove a centrist, and so why do they use phrases like “I pray” or “I hope” that Obama might turn out, well, not [...]

The way he’s handled it appears to have been a net negative for him.
His mistake, which has angered me for weeks, was simply to point out that Ayers and Obama guided the same foundation, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. He left it to the American people to put 2 and 2 together — that if Ayers [...]

Some people are trying to attach significance to the fact that various Islamist nutjobs purport to support one or the other candidates for U.S. president this year. McCain was stupid to try to capitalize on Hamas’s endorsement of Obama, which really put him on the spot when it was reported this week that an extremist [...]

For those of you resigning yourselves to an Obama victory and telling yourself that at least an Obama presidency would be good for the GOP in the long run because Obama would be so radical that the electorate would recoil in horror and elect a conservative as the next president: Have you people lost your [...]

I took a look at the Republicans for Obama website this morning, and I now understand why these Republicans are for Obama: they are as hope-y change-y as the Democrats that are for Obama. On their “Why Obama?” page, they lay out nine issues, from the national debt to foreign policy, explaining the problems, but [...]

According to at least one idiot editorial writer in Kansas City, McCain-Palin have engaged in racist campaigning by referring to Obama’s policies as “socialist.” Because, don’t you know, J Edgar Hoover used the word “socialist” to refer to black civil rights leaders.
More proof that the media needs vetting. Now, there’s a website devoted to just [...]
