  • Prepackaged Town Halls?

    Chip Reid and Helen Thomas against Robert Gibbs at the daily press briefing on the “tightly controlled” town hall meeting. Gibbs keeps saying “let’s have this discussion after the meeting.” Also look at how she grills George Bush and how he answers. Video after the jump.

  • Links N’ Junk: Conspiracy Theories

    I was just watching a movie that forced me to research creepy stuff which was irksome enough to allow me to create a Links N’ Junk totally obsessed focused on conspiracies. The creepy thing isn’t so much that I’m linking to this stuff; rather the fact that some of this is actually official documents on…

  • Links and Junk: Politics

    palin. Blip on the radar: Palin cleared but no one notices (except maybe Jeremy who gets the hat tip). voting. A Couple of black panthers (ninjas?) with clubs look scary in a Philadelphia voting locale. Cops show up, shoo one away (the other lives there). Fox News here. CNN Here. (HT: The write Jerry and…

There’s nothing wrong with submitting a vice presidential candidate to scrutiny but some of this scrutiny is simply ridiculous. Like newspaper articles that focus on the fashionable way she dresses–ridiculous stuff like…

  • Fact Checking the GOP

Anyway: Joe Lieberman and his former Senate colleague Fred Thompson both made misleading claims about Obama in their prime time GOP convention speeches on Tuesday. We’ve heard two of them…

  • Jeremy Pierce, Barack Obama and Abortion

    Take 15 minutes. Go read this. Also read the comments. Honestly, you don’t have to participate but Jeremy does an excellent job of thinking through the issues as do his commenters. Barack Obama has basically declared himself incompetent to make any judgments on one of the key issues of our day, and I have to…
