Gallup Daily puts Obama ahead by 11

According to Gallup Daily Obama has taken an 11 point lead over McCain.

Polling data was taken just before Tuesdays debate.

The campaign is getting ugly however, with personal attack ads on the rise, and apparently McCain doesn't feel compelled to argue with his own supporters assertion that Barack Obama is a 'terrorist'. Well, I guess if he kinda looks like one...

Pardon me whilst I repaint my wall with today's lunch.

Tuesdays debate did not seem to have any effect at all. We'll see what happens on Thursday.

Apparently McCain is being chided for pirating music. The Foo Fighters weren't very happy with McCains use of the song My Hero. Just for fun. ;)

We are having issues regarding ACORN in Missouri. If this is true I'm not a happy man. Fight as hard as you want, but don't mess with the validity of peoples votes. That really pisses me off. It does no one any good. Officials are looking into it, so if there's something there, I hope they find it. If not, I hope they say that too.

Alright. Some more just for fun. Apparently some other people besides myself (an avid West Wing 0 phile) have noticed some odd connections between the elections in 2008, and on the show. Here's the story. The democrat won the WW election ;) Just for fun.

Great op-ed piece about the right's ridiculous policy failures:

In, of course, the New York Times.

Nice, definitely a good catch. I think it best to be defined as ideology failure.

When put into practice, this is what we get. I haven't been hearing enough of that, and I think we need to hear it more.

People have the right to believe whatever they want, but we need not assert that every opinion is equally valid. I'd like to see some more of that going on.
