And of the two candidates, which one has held conferences with bloggers from BOTH sides of the aisle? No, not Obama. (He might have to answer some uncomfortable questions, Sweetie.)
Personally, I’d rather have the President put his focus on the matters at hand instead of being hopelessly addicted to his Blackberry. Obama is SO addicted to his Blackberry that a CNN story the other day showed him checking it during his daughter’s soccer game (and having his wife chide him for it).
And is he fulfilling his legislative duties with the Blackberry? NO. As the video above explains, Obama is checking sports scores. Gamblers tend to obsessively check sports scores. Does Obama have a gambling problem?

The Real Markspews:
Even the New York Times is finally exposing Obama as the phony that he is:
We are not shocked when a candidate moves to the center for the general election. But Mr. Obama’s shifts are striking because he was the candidate who proposed to change the face of politics, the man of passionate convictions who did not play old political games.

Lots of young people going to the polls this next Nov. Even their Grandmas can work a computer (the youngsters have been pulling hard duty training Grandfolks & working out the bugs for them).
I’m sick of seeing Martin Luther King’s face on every single piece of King Count property down to my fucking bus transfer. Is this North Korea or something, where you can’t go one minute without seeing a statue or portrait of Kim Jong-il? Yeah, I know the sainted minister is our county’s namesake, but does that mean his scowling mug has to be plastered on everything? Look at Redmond. Redmond is named after some dude named Redmond or McRedmond, but they don’t have HIS face as their logo. No, they have some trees and a park as their logo. And they don’t plaster that logo everywhere. They use it sparingly. So how about that? We can still have King County named after Junior, but have someone more appealing to look at, like some trees next to a lake as our logo.
And whose bright idea was it to name our county after a Christian minister? What’s next, renaming Seattle after Ted Haggard or Jimmy Swaggart?
I think Paul Farmer, the man profiled in the Tracy Kidder book Mountains Beyond Mountains, is a hypocrite. He criticizes Mother Teresa for meeting with, and complimenting a dictator, but Farmer does the very same thing with Castro!

King County was originally named after William Rufus Devane King, a slave owner and VP under Democrat Franklin Pierce, in 1852. The county was only “renamed” after Dr. King in 1986.
Right, and I’m just saying I think they’re overdoing it with slapping his face on everything, to the point it’s making me feel we’re living in one of those countries like North Korea or Turkmenistan where they plaster the dictator’s image everywhere to the point of idolatry.
Name the county after the dude, but at least get his ugly, scowling face off of my bus transfer ticket!
Jimmy Carter was supposed to be hot to go on intricacies and details, and what did that get him? He came close to flushing the country down the toilet. Only the election of Ronaldus Magnus Reaganus saved the country.

It’s also a reflection of being out of touch with reality. For someone in national politics, you might have gotten away knowing nothing about computers in the 1990s, but for goodness sakes, we’re nearly into the 20-teens!

His campaign was primarily lobbyist driven until that got too inconvenient – now Karl Rove has taken it over.
A McCain presidency will only mean more corruption, more war, more debt, more ineptitude, more disaster for the people of this country. With Karl Rove on board it is totally certain that 4 years of McCain is the same old REPUBLICAN bullshit.
Without an Obama presidency there is no hope that the ugly mess of the last eight years, the bleeding sore of Iraq, the destruction of the American economy, the degradation of the environment – will ever be reversed.

Obama is tacking rightward? Gee so has McCain! To appeal to people like you – and the Limbaugh crowd. Nice new bedfellows you got there Surreal.

Too get more back on topic, I do think that it’s quite relevant that McCain can’t use a computer and doesn’t “get” the web, because computers and the web are at the center of modern communications. You kinda need to know how that stuff works these days.
Also, pretty much every flipping thing is moving away from command and control linear networks towards distributive networking. Not “getting” computers and the web means not getting distributive networking and that means not understanding how the world we live in functions.

The fact that you somehow think that the NYT is non-partisan shows just how brainwashed Left you are. Here’s Rasmussen on the subject:
Among the print publications in the survey, the New York Times is perceived as being furthest to the left. Forty percent (40%) of Americans believe the Times has a bias in favor of liberals.
One of the more startling details concerns the perceptions of liberals towards the New York Times. Liberals tend to see all broadcast outlets and most print publications as having a bias in favor of conservatives. A plurality of liberals (40%) believes the Times delivers news without bias. However, 25% of liberals see a liberal bias at the New York Times while only 17% see a conservative bias.
As for the other topic about which you’re willingly blind:
MoveOn.org is a multi-million-dollar PAC that does everything from spending Soros money to asking members to host “Bake Sales for Obama.”

A right wing hatchet man can call and scream at any traditional media outlet the implied threat being the pulling of ad revenue.
The folks complaining here are really showing their true feelings. KC changed its old ugly chess-piece logo for a stylized portrait of Doctor King. As county logos go, it’s better than most.
We have portraits of George Washington on everything the state does. I don’t hear our resident wingnuts comparing him to a Korean dictator.
But, we still have bigots and racists that keep trying to put the Confederate Battle Flag up as a symbol of “heritage”, so I’m not surprised that we have folks that absolutely hate the image of Dr. King.
Face it, folks. You lost that war, and you can’t get great-grandpappy’s slaves back no matter how much you want them or feel that you should be entitled to your very own darkie.

And of the two candidates, which one has held conferences with bloggers from BOTH sides of the aisle? No, not Obama. (He might have to answer some uncomfortable questions, Sweetie.)
Personally, I’d rather have the President put his focus on the matters at hand instead of being hopelessly addicted to his Blackberry. Obama is SO addicted to his Blackberry that a CNN story the other day showed him checking it during his daughter’s soccer game (and having his wife chide him for it).
And is he fulfilling his legislative duties with the Blackberry? NO. As the video above explains, Obama is checking sports scores. Gamblers tend to obsessively check sports scores. Does Obama have a gambling problem?

I’m sick of seeing Martin Luther King’s face on every single piece of King Count property down to my fucking bus transfer. Is this North Korea or something, where you can’t go one minute without seeing a statue or portrait of Kim Jong-il? Yeah, I know the sainted minister is our county’s namesake, but does that mean his scowling mug has to be plastered on everything? Look at Redmond. Redmond is named after some dude named Redmond or McRedmond, but they don’t have HIS face as their logo. No, they have some trees and a park as their logo. And they don’t plaster that logo everywhere. They use it sparingly. So how about that? We can still have King County named after Junior, but have someone more appealing to look at, like some trees next to a lake as our logo.
And whose bright idea was it to name our county after a Christian minister? What’s next, renaming Seattle after Ted Haggard or Jimmy Swaggart?

“Muscatel Meadows” I like that one.

Too get more back on topic, I do think that it’s quite relevant that McCain can’t use a computer and doesn’t “get” the web, because computers and the web are at the center of modern communications. You kinda need to know how that stuff works these days.
Also, pretty much every flipping thing is moving away from command and control linear networks towards distributive networking. Not “getting” computers and the web means not getting distributive networking and that means not understanding how the world we live in functions.

Considering the new King County logo.
The folks complaining here are really showing their true feelings. KC changed its old ugly chess-piece logo for a stylized portrait of Doctor King. As county logos go, it’s better than most.
We have portraits of George Washington on everything the state does. I don’t hear our resident wingnuts comparing him to a Korean dictator.
But, we still have bigots and racists that keep trying to put the Confederate Battle Flag up as a symbol of “heritage”, so I’m not surprised that we have folks that absolutely hate the image of Dr. King.
Face it, folks. You lost that war, and you can’t get great-grandpappy’s slaves back no matter how much you want them or feel that you should be entitled to your very own darkie.
