Something that I put together to look at the ROI for the Obama campaign vs the McCain campaign. The results are interesting…

A simple question.
If we have to beg someone to register to vote and/or beg them to vote, should that person be voting in the first place?
If one is not motivated to vote in the first place, will they bother taking the time to research candidates and issues?
It seems to me that it becomes a case of, who has the most advertising dollars and who can show up on enough funny shows; a popularity contest if you will.
I know there’s nothing particularly earth-shattering about that observation, just thought I’d throw it …

So, the RNC had David Zucker create a political ad:
In the ad, Zucker, producer of SCARY MOVIE 4, recreates former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s 2000 visit to North Korea. During the visit, Secretary Albright presented North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il with a basketball autographed by former NBA superstar Michael Jordan. (Matt Drudge)
It gets better, I won’t ruin it for you. Apparently it was a little too offensive; I found it to be not only hilarious but very representative of the Clinton administration’s diplomatic policy. Way to go …

If you watch Anderson Cooper 360, you’re a sheep, but besides that you may have witnessed the “exclusive” footage CNN aired which showed Iraqi insurgent snipers assassinating American soldiers. Here’s the video from The O’Reilly Factor w/ Kirsten Powers and Michelle Malkin. Michelle said it best that CNN is just “being used as a tool” by the Iraqi insurgents. By the way, if you want to support the guys who’s job it is to counter-snipe these insugents check out American Snipers. Also check out Michelle’s VENT over at HOTAIR, some …

If you haven’t read the book, Red Phoenix, I suggest you do it now because it’s about to happen for real to some extent, some quotes from the sites below:
The US:
“It can have a future or it can have these weapons,” said Chris Hill. “It cannot have both.”
South Korea:
“Our government clearly reconfirms our position that we will never accept North Korea’s possession of nuclear weapons,” spokesman Chu Gyu-ho said. “And we urge North Korea to immediately cancel their plan for a nuclear test.”
China:
North Korea’s announcement that it plans to carry …

I know it’s not news, but Cracked put together a reenactment on YouTube that’s both funny and deeply disturbing.

And of course, as a friend and I predicted a day or so ago. Mark Foley now claims his perverted IMs are the result of his molestation by a clergyman 40 years ago. Of course Foley won’t elaborate as to the identity of the clergyman or the church but Foley is supposedly Roman Catholic, yay for us… Remember, in this day and age nothing is your fault, there is always someone or …

The UN is ineffective as usual. After the US brokered a Darfur peace deal in May, the UN promised to deliver a peacekeeping force to enforce the accord. Two month later, in typical UN fashion, no troops and no word if and when they will be deployed.
Why should you care? I’ll let the guys over at TCSDaily take this, since they’re professionals:
After the United States helped broker a Darfur peace deal in May, the United Nations promised to come to the rescue with a peacekeeping force capable of enforcing the …

Instapundit.com:
SELF-DEFENSE IS NOT A RIGHT, according to a U.N. Report. David Hardy has some thoughts. “As might be expected from the source, the concept of ‘right’ is rather ineptly socialist: rights are what you may ask the government to do for you.”

CAGW is reporting that everyone’s favorite guardian of the Internet tubes was the one whoe placed a ’secret’ hold on the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (S. 2590).
The bipartisan legislation, introduced by Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.), will establish a public database for $800 billion worth of federal grants and contracts. An anonymous hold had been placed on the legislation, preventing it from moving forward. Grassroots pressure from a coalition of groups and bloggers from across the political spectrum prompted Sen. Stevens …
