Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights? by Orson Scott Card. A fairly hardcore (according to googling his name) Democrat ripping his fellow pathetic excuses for reporters a new one over their misreporting (read: lying) over Obama, McCain, the housing crisis, etc. Nice dude!
Best parts...
Isn't there a story here? Doesn't journalism require that you who produce our daily paper tell the truth about who brought us to a position where the only way to keep confidence in our economy was a $700 billion bailout? Aren't you supposed to follow the money and see which politicians were benefitting personally from the deregulation of mortgage lending?
I have no doubt that if these facts had pointed to the Republican Party or to John McCain as the guilty parties, you would be treating it as a vast scandal. "Housing-gate," no doubt. Or "Fannie-gate."
and
If you do not tell the truth about the Democrats -- including Barack Obama -- and do so with the same energy you would use if the miscreants were Republicans -- then you are not journalists by any standard.
You're just the public relations machine of the Democratic Party, and it's time you were all fired and real journalists brought in, so that we can actually have a daily newspaper in our city.
McCain for President by Charles Krauthammer. He's really smart; I like his writing. A nicely written, easily laid out article about why Obama sucks.
If you weren't aware (maybe you live under a rock?), Obama raised an ungodly amount of money in the election, including (I believe) $150 million in Sep. alone. I'd be more impressed if George Soros and all of Hollywood weren't blindly in the tank for him, but who's surprised by that? Besides the fact that he lied through his teeth before the campaign when he told the world he was going to use public financing (like everyone else) and then didn't, his campaign has been fraught with charges of illegal money raising. As an experiement, Powerlineblog.com readers made donations to his campaign with obvious fake names/repeat credit cards, all of which worked perfectly. Which, as you might imagine, is illegal. Check out the stories here, here, and here.
His merciful Lord, Obama, who never deviates from the issues, has sure spent a lot of time the last week talking about Palin's clothes. Good article on how stupid that is here (aside from the obvious reasons), from Powerlineblog.com.
More on Obama being a possible member of an actual Socialist party here, and how the press completely ignores it here.
Chris Matthews, a class A idiot, gets owned.
We have little hope that MSNBC will take a more even handed approach in covering this race over these last few days, but it is outrageous that Chris Matthews would rely on an HBO mini-series as the basis for his condescending attacks on Governor Palin. If he wishes to pose as a Constitutional scholar, he should read the document. This campaign has sent a copy to his office.
How Palin Governed by Byron York. I know, I know, it's lame to bring actual facts into any kind of discussion about Palin, Obama, whoever, but I'm going to do it anyway. Or at least this guy is, who is smarter and a better writer than I am.
What is John Woo, Kevin Smith, and Wes Anderson made ads for McCain? They would be awesome, and look like this:

Ahhhhhhh!!
Awesomeness overload. You've outdone yourself.
I do what I can. Especially when my Xbox is broken, I'm bored, and I'm avoiding going to bed.
Wow - Those campaign ads are gold! Way better than the "don't vote! Seriously, don't vote. Don't vote unless you care that evil Republicans don't want women to be able to kill their babies. Seriously, it's the American dream to kill babies and these neocons want to end that. They want to end the American dream! Ben Franklin wanted to put that in the Bill of Rights, but Aaron Burr beat him up. Don't be like Aaron Burr. Killing babies is fun: vote Obama."
