Cindy McCain’s lawyer fires high,hard heat at the New York Times. For once, I am rooting for the lawyer.

I continue to maintain that a media-inspired backlash will cost Barack Obama this election. Annoy the media - vote McCain-Palin!!!!

Another factor to cost Obama this election: middle class backlash. The Democrats fashion themselves the party of “the little guy”, another patronizing and offensive term. Their ham-handed treatment of “Joe the Plumber” gives the lie to this claim (assuming it had validity, which it hasn’t in my life time.)

Barack Obama’s William Ayers alibi: “This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood” continues to unravel.

While we’re discussing Senator Government’s neighborhood, feast your eyes and thoughts on this one (as opposed to “That One”.)

On Tuesday, October 21, 2008, I will interview Mr. John Ruberry of Marathon Pundit fame. He is knowledgeable on all things Obama (nearly all things), including Rezko and company.

Kudos to the Boston Red Sox; never, ever write this team off until AFTER they are done. And apparently, they are not done yet. Thanks guys.

When I first read the AP headline: “”, I admitted to being taken aback (see link below). That is, until I read the story and came to the conclusion that headlines are frequently misleading. Frequently, they serve as a means to an end of “scraping eyeballs” toward a particular story line. In this case, if all you read is the headline, you will come to the conclusion that “corporations are not paying their fair share” and other such nonsense. In reality, corporations don’t pay taxes, shareholders and people do. Moreover, many business entities today operate on a “pass-through” basis, meaning that they pass through any profits that may exist directly to the owner(s) personal tax bracket and return. So technically, the “business entity” doesn’t pay taxes in addition to the owners. The tax man is only getting one bite (and a very large one at that) of the profit apple. Which is the way it ought to be. The AP can be excused for not possessing extensive knowledge of tax policy, who does? They can’t be forgiven however, for not giving both sides of the story. The Tax Foundation is one such source as is Americans for Tax Reform.

OUTSTANDING send-up of the Obama hagiography gripping narrow swaths of America (media/elites) and rest of world: Jonathan Swift himself would be PROUD.
