OC Register - Mark Steyn: Obama nears the “now what?” moment

In Europe, lavish social-democratic government has transformed citizens into eternal wards of the Nanny State: the bureaucracy’s assumption of every adult responsibility has severed Continentals from the most basic survival impulse, to the point where unaffordable entitlements on shriveled birth rates have put [...]

Mark Steyn in The Corner:

[A] lot of us have been having that “Is there another me?” problem recently. Staunch Saddam toppler Ken Adelman woke up the other morning to read a piece by some entirely different “Ken Adelman” announcing his support for a candidate who’s consistently opposed everything Ken argued for. And poor [...]

Charles Krauthammer, 2008:

I’d rather lose an election than lose my bearings.

or Abraham Lincoln, 1839:

The probability that we may fall in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just…Let none falter, who thinks he is right, and we may succeed. But if [...]

Only the flintiest of hearts could fail to be warmed by the relationship between grandparent and grandchild, as Barack Obama is doubtless discovering. Obama’s suspension of his campaign, so that he can fly to Hawaii and see his ill grandmother, [...]

Funny, I thought “Socialist” was code for “Babe“.

Mark Steyn, in The Corner again:

Boris Johnson, my former boss at The Spectator and now somewhat improbably the Mayor of London*, is the latest to join the Obamaniacs. Needless to say, I disagree with my old friend and have always regarded him as a total squish when it comes to ideological soundness, but [...]

Mark Steyn, in The Corner:

Good to see Jonah and Andrew checking in. These days I get a bit nervous when nobody shows up before ten. I feel a bit like Comical Ali going ahead with the morning press conference to announce categorically there are no Americans in Baghdad, unaware that everyone in the [...]

LGF - Colin Powell Endorses Obama

Will any moonbat heads be exploding over this? After all, they’ve been vilifying Powell for years for “lying us into a war.” I’m going to take a wild guess and say the lefties will suddenly forget all about it.

WSJ - A Liberal Supermajority Get ready for ‘change’ we haven’t seen since 1965, or 1933.

If the current polls hold, Barack Obama will win the White House on November 4 and Democrats will consolidate their Congressional majorities, probably with a filibuster-proof Senate or very close to it. Without the ability to filibuster, the Senate [...]

McCain (I’ll try to find a complete one later but for the time being here’s two, with just a little bit of overlap):

And now I’ll go find Obama’s…

Update: Here’s the first part…

I dunno how much is missing but I can’t find part two. There’s waaay more McCain videos on YouTube (honestly, YouTubers, is it really [...]

I find that just letting go really is quite liberating. The one thing I can’t get over is Joe Biden as Vice President. Joe Biden!

This is quite entertaining:

Chris Ayres, second item, in The Times:

Cast the first Stone Speaking of disasters, the US release of Oliver Stone’s W. is now only a few days away. I really wanted to like this film. I might not often agree with Stone’s politics, but his 1987 movie Wall Street is, in [...]
