Today I received an e-mail from Air America Radio with the teaser:
Pitney-gate: Why Is Huffington Post Getting Called On At White House Pressers?
First I have to say it’s a teaser because I saw no mention of this story in the actual e-mail. Secondly, maybe it has something to do with the huge sum of money recently invested in the Huffington Post ($15 million!), money which didn’t come from the White House and the taxpayer.
Why not reward an American company that is out there doing it without asking for a bailout and a media company that isn’t about to go under? (see: American Newspapers) Now this isn’t the reason that Obama called on Pitney, it was because they knew he had a real question. But the above is just my 2 cents.
If you are going to read one political blog to make you laugh, and maybe cry, from laughing, it should be The DCeiver. Check out the sample post I stole below (yes, in its entirety because I’m just that lame). KTHXBAI…
Via Andrew Sullivan, here’s a look at the socialism that Sarah Palin has been warning you about, because she can see it from her porch or some shit:
Yeah, so, it goes like this. First, they came for $82.3 billion, and I said nothing, because FUCK DUDE, we still had $39.2 trillion, and yeah, I was like, “WOO, POP SOME CRISTAL UP IN THIS PIECE!” and anyway, did you know we are using some of that money to make another Final Destination sequel? It’s TRUE, we are, and yeah, I’D LOVE TO SEE CAPITALISM EXPLAIN THAT.

I just saw, in southwest Ohio, a commercial funded by The National Republican Trust PAC that finally broke the silence in the national campaign about the “relationship” between Rev. Wright’s comments and Obama’s views on how to run the country. It was pretty fiery, and not by McCain.
How tricky it is. The night before the election and on in the swing states. Sounds like people are getting scared.
Update: It’s running a lot now and it worries me because people are dumb.
Morgan Tsvangirai announced that he is pulling out of Friday’s presidential runoff election because of mounting violence and intimidation.
I promised myself not to get all political on this site, and to just keep things light – but this is 101% lame. I’ve been following this story since the original election – which Tsvangirai squeaked ahead in to narrowly win. The entire time I hoped to see Tsvangirai prevail but now he is backing down from the fight.
I think it’s both lame on Mugabe’s part and Tsvangirai’s. It’s even lame on the behalf of the neighbors of Zimbabwe who stand by and do nothing while talking tough. Why send “election monitors” but not have any force to act upon transgressions?
