Biden Angered by “Hostile” interviewer

Interviewer asks Joe Biden tough questions about Marxism, Biden gets irritable:

The Obama campaign later sent this message to the station in response to their unfair and un-journalistic hostility:

‘”This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election,” wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.’

Read about it here.

And ask yourself:  Was this interview more or less hostile than the Palin interviews?

It’s 11 minutes long and it’s pro-McCain, but it’s entertaining, it was already banned once, and it explains the problem fully and backs it up with facts:

Look out, Chuck Norris:

Barack Obama has the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE tattooed on his stomach. It’s upside-down, so he can read it while doing sit-ups.There’s only one artist on Barack Obama’s iPod: FRANCIS SCOTT KEY.

Barack Obama is a DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. His favorite book is the BIBLE, which he has memorized. His name means HE WHO LOVES JESUS in the ancient language of Aramaic. He is PROUD that Jesus was an American.

Barack Obama goes to church every morning. He goes to church every afternoon. He goes to church every evening. He is IN CHURCH RIGHT NOW.

Barack Obama’s new airplane includes a conference room, a kitchen, and a MEGACHURCH.

Ann Coulter, Gay Icon?

Not quite what I was expecting:

This weekend I attended a small, intimate house party in Manhattan of mostly gay men in the media. I was sitting in the kitchen talking about Men’s Vogue and Lisa Kudrow’s The Comeback with my friend Mark when in walks: ANN COULTER. It was shocking to see America’s deplorable scion of extreme right-wing fanaticism pour herself a glass of wine in a casual white tank top and jeans (no black cocktail dress) and effusively greet the liberal media that she’s made a career crusading.
The gays squealed with delight. They all shelved their political beliefs and giggled to one another about the famous guest, cooing over how skinny she is and hovering around her waiting for an introduction.

Moose Belching Warms Globe

BUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRPNorweigan mooses (meese?) are apparently responsible for the production of large amounts of methane:

Norway is concerned that its national animal, the moose, is harming the climate by emitting an estimated 2,100 kilos of carbon dioxide a year through its belching and farting.Norwegian newspapers, citing research from Norway’s technical university, said a motorist would have to drive 13,000 kilometers in a car to emit as much CO2 as a moose does in a year.

Original Climate Change Analysis Skewed by Y2K Bug

These graphs were created by NASA’s Reto Ruedy and James Hansen (who shot to fame when he accused the administration of trying to censor his views on climate change). Hansen refused to provide McKintyre with the algorithm used to generate graph data, so McKintyre reverse-engineered it. The result appeared to be a Y2K bug in the handling of the raw data.McKintyre notified the pair of the bug; Ruedy replied and acknowledged the problem as an “oversight” that would be fixed in the next data refresh.

NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking) moves to second place. 1921 takes third. In fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years on record now all occur before World War II.

Huh. Link

Warning: RealID!

Provisions to make the RealID mandatory for all states have been slipped into the current immigration bill. This would override the objections of Georgia and other states that have come out against this national ID system. If the RealID becomes mandatory, all of our personal information will be stored in a national database accessible by federal and state agencies accross the country, which is not the best scenario from an information security and identity-theft-prevention perspective. If you don’t like this idea, now’s the time to write your senators. For you Georgians out there, here are links to the webpages for Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss, from whence you can email them your perspective on the issue. Also, here are details on the consequences of the RealID program.

Fred Thompson Gets the Ex-Girlfriend Endorsement

Fred Thompson, a potential Republican presidential candidate for 2008, apparently has the support of former wives and girlfriends:

“In anticipation of a presidential run, a group of potentially supportive Republican congressmen recently questioned him about his private life.“I was single for a long time and yep I chased a lot of women,” Thompson told them with a grin. “And a lot of women chased me. And those who chased me tended to catch me.”

However, he was also able to reassure them that he was on excellent terms with his first wife and home-town sweetheart Sarah Knestrick, whom he married in Tennessee at 17 and divorced 26 years later. Thompson said he had just spoken to her and she was intending to campaign for him.

“It says a lot about his character that his ex-wife and ex-girlfriends think he is fabulous,” said Mosbacher. “Character is important in a president.”

Truly, what more comprehensive endorsement can there be? Link
