Electoral maps and controversial signs

After a long hiatus from this particular news source, I checked out cnnpolitics.com and was delighted to learn that even they have the electoral map leaning to Obama (277 safe and leaning, meaning if he holds those and loses all the toss-up states he still wins. Knock on wood.) The New York Times, of course, shows the same results (they've generally been more generous in assigning leaning states). My curiosity peaked, I zipped over to FOX News. Their electoral map, at least as of Thursday night, is unavailable. Interesting.

Then, while over at FOX, I found the story about this sign:

Here's the story if you want to read it. The part I'm going to address here is that when people became offended by the comparison of Barack HUSSEIN Obama in a turban to John McCain in military garb, owner Robert Horr responded with the Clintonian high road, saying it shouldn't be offensive at all that someone is wearing a turban and why can't people just accept multiculturalism? It's a dumbass position to be taken by someone who obviously chose the image to be inflammatory and degrading - it's definitely the "terrorist vs. hero" psychology that he's going for here, so it sure shows a lot of nerve that he'd feign naivete.

Oh, one more thing: Horr declined to say who he's voting for. Are you kidding me?

Can I get a what what from the senior section?

If Sarah Palin had done this herself I might have had to vote for her. As it stands, I voted for Obama, but you should still watch the video.

Poetry

There once was a girl named Lauren
whose poetry kept her from snorin'
She bothered and bitched
to her bestest friend Nick
about the work she was deplorin'

The terrorist Obama

Amazing editorial in the New York Times about McCain and Palin's acceptance of, or even complicity in, a hate campaign against Obama. READ IT.
