smays.com // My name is Blanche. I'm a 12-year-old girl living in Karachi where I am forced to maintain this website for a wealthy American who has too much time on his hands but not enough to maintain one more blog. Please help me.
I'm starting to think that when someone is elected president of the U.S., they get to read some secret documents that convince him that the U.S. must always be at war.
I fear this decision has more to do with a second term than keeping America safe. I'm trying imagine a scenario under which I'd again donate $ to Obama campaign. Perhaps a Beck/Limbaugh/Palin/Bush ticket.
This is one of the reasons I've grown so fond of Posterous. The video above seems worth sharing but I have nothing to add. One can hardly describe this as a blog post.
We’d also watched last fall as Rove acolyte Steve Schmidt entered the all-time Hall of Campaign Managerial Shame thanks to his ignominious bungling of the McCain run for the presidency, during which time Schmidt had pulled the trigger on two of the more nakedly cynical vote-getting ploys in our recent electoral history — the last-minute addition of dingbat bible-thumper Sarah Palin to the ticket in a transparent ploy to snatch up votes from the Limbaugh demographic McCain himself reviled, and the late-stage decision to use Palin to run a race-baiting campaign painting their black opponent as not “one of us.”
Not only did neither ploy work, but Schmidt may have ruined race-baiting/guilt-by-association campaign strategies at the national level for a whole generation of corrupt politicians, so badly did all his harping on Bill Ayers blow up in his face.
I should start a list of writers/publications I'll be willing to pay for. Mr. Taibbi will be near the top of that list.
