Seriously The New Yorker, WTF??? ================================ We should nuke the punditry from orbit. It's the only way to be sure... What? In what is a very terrible bit of "satire," the cover of the new The New Yorker features Barack and Michelle Obama dressed up like terrorists. Personally I found it to be very offensive. If you want to satirize the lies and smears being propagated about the Obamas, then perhaps you shouldn't legitimize them by enshrining them on the cover of your magazine. Maybe a better way to satirize them would be to attack the people spreading them. But I suppose that would require a level of intelligence and sophistication we can't expect from The New Yorker. Polling Rasmussen has several state polls out today, in South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota. The latter three polls all show Obama with solid leads between 8 in Michigan and 17 in Minnesota. These states are traditionally swing states, but they look like they'll be solidly blue in this election. The real swing states are starting to look like they may include the Dakotas, as the South Dakota poll puts Obama just 4 points behind McCain. If the swing states in this election are states like Virginia, Montana, and the Dakotas rather than those like Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa, it's very difficult to see McCain getting to 270. -David Kleppinger, Morons.org Legislative Analyst Read the full story at http://web.morons.org/article.jsp?id=7873 Obama on Iraq and the Dow Drops =============================== Meanwhile, Bush fiddles... Iraq Today Obama gave a major speech on his Iraq policy and overall strategy for dealing with the middle east and restoring America's prestige. Highlights include a reaffirmation of his commitment to getting our troops out of Iraq within 16 months of entering office, increasing our presence in Afghanistan, securing nuclear materials, and massive spending on alternative energy sources. Medicare The one bit of good news out of the Senate last week was when Senator Kennedy showed up to deliver the crucial vote on a new Medicare bill, putting it over the top and getting it passed. Yesterday, Bush vetoed the bill. Today, Congress overrode him. Hopefully they won't return to this issue in 4 months and repeal it, eliminating all progress. The Economy Today the Dow closed below 11,000 for the first time in 2 years. The Dow is also now in the same territory as it was when Bush first entered office. So on his watch, the markets have essentially made no forward progress while the dollar has tanked and the price of oil has increased fivefold. But it's ok, because Bush is an optimist.
