Off-hand thought of the day:

The sort of populist, inspirational, hope-centric, paradigm-shifting, outsider/anti-establishment campaign Obama is running this year is stunningly similar to Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign. That the tables have so drastically turned is among the strongest reasons to support Obama over Hillary Clinton.

Bonus weirdness: a google search for “Barak Obama” generates 1.6 million more hits than a google search for “Barack Obama” (though most of the former’s hits seem to be the same as the latter’s hits).

Well, this week has been hard for Obama. He can kiss the racist vote goodbye.

Rick Wilson, the same asshole who tarnished Max Cleland’s reputation among rednecks by associating him with Osama Bin Laden, is licking his chops over this whole Jeremiah Wright affair. On CNN tonight he called it a “gold mine.”

Let me see: Cleland was a triple amputee who literally gave his limbs (and nearly his life) for his country. After Wilson and other GOP vipers got a hold on him, he was a terrorist lover.

Now we have Obama. He is the first American politician, to my memory, to say something about race other than tepid bromides on a colorblind society. Given the grace and intelligence and, worse, underlying morality of Obama’s message, it’s no wonder Wilson wants to turn him into an America-hating black nationalist.

Wilson has the opposite of the Midas touch. He touches gold and turns it into shit.

Will it work this year? Will we yet again destroy the Democratic candidate and appoint the latest dumbfuck Republican? Will Republican attempts to scare the bejesus out of white America strike a mortal wound in Obama’s candidacy? Or will an ungodly share of the GOP base finally be exposed for what they are?

Cracker-ass bigots.

On this eve of the illegal U.S. invasion of Iraq, I say that it’s time this fucking country stepped up. I’m tired of feeling ashamed about the vicious stupidity of this nation. We’ve gone from inalienable rights to preemptive strikes.

No fucking mas, goddamnit.

this is the most metal thing i’ve ever heard of.

Notes left by Mr Tovey… revealed that he had scoured the internet for plans before constructing his complex machine, which involved a jigsaw power tool and was connected to a .22 semi-automatic pistol loaded with four bullets. It could fire multiple shots once triggered remotely.

At 7am on Tuesday he set the robot up in the driveway of his £450,000 house and activated it.

honestly, i don’t know what we have a first law of robotics for if we’re not going to enforce it.
