Thomas B. Edsall rounds up some of the more polite media versions of this sentiment in

The conventional wisdom is that Barack Obama has the youth vote sewn up in a general election.  But in an interview with Williamette Week, Obama gives John McCain an opening: If you had a tattoo, what would it be and where would you put it? Uh, I cannot imagine any circumstances in which I would get a tattoo. If a gun was put to my head? Where has Obama been the

This topic has emerged in some of our recent threads, so I invite you to  . . . well, I’ll just let David Thompson explain: A brief tribute to the Online Journal of Embodiment & Technology, which features such herculean artistic works as Thrash: Physical Responses to the Bush Administration, by Andrew Simonet and Headlong Dance Theatre, and the scholarly musings of “radical cyber-feminist” Professor Caroline Guertin: “We inhabit our

John McCain kicked off “environmental week” with a speech advocating a “cap-and-trade” system that sets overall limits on domestic greenhouse gas emissions to combat the ostensible threat of global warming.  The Wall Street Journal was among those criticizing the proposal on its merits (or lack thereof), noting that the Bush Administration’s current approach has reduced US net carbon emissions by more than all but four countries in “cap-and-trading” Europe, without creating

Yesterday, Instapundit Glenn Reynolds asked whether Barack Obama was a Christianist, based on mailers the Obama camp is circulating in Kentucky.  As he seems to have made the charge tongue-in-cheek, he should recognize that the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago follows Black Liberation Theology, which fuses religion and politics by an essentially Marxist interpretation of the Bible (as explained in some depth at the link).
