Fair. Balanced. Dignified. — Well, provided Reuters manages to have Palin checked for a secret earpiece — you know, just to be sure. And if that proves a dead end, perhaps Ms Ifill will be good enough to check Governor Palin’s oversized breeder pooter for some sort of walkie talkie connecting her directly to the Lord. Because let’s face it: this queen of the doublewides may be remarkably stupid. But

First up on the grill, Cynthia McKinney Crazywursts. No need for a bun. Just eat ’em au naturale, like you might a freshly killed black woman were you trapped inside the Superdome hoping to God Spike Lee finds you before you either starve to death or Bushco passes word along to his clandestine mercs the “go ahead and liquidate the cattle.”

“Radio reporter fired over Obama T-shirt”: Longtime Metro Detroit radio reporter Karen Dinkins has been fired after wearing a pro-Barack Obama T-shirt while covering a rally for the presidential candidate Sunday at the Detroit Public Library. Dinkins, who has worked at WWJ (950 AM) for 13 years, acknowledged that the radio station fired her Monday, but she did not elaborate. “I don’t want to comment at this time,” she said.

And this advocacy on the part of the

First, His supporters liked to teach the world to sing — using kids as political pawns. Now this, from the New York Post: The teachers union has been handing out thousands of Barack Obama campaign buttons to its members, sparking a clampdown by education brass. The Department of Education – which has a long-standing policy barring teachers from wearing campaign buttons in schools – is set to send out an

Nothing we haven’t heard before, really, but at least people are starting to gather it all into one place and attach it to a thesis of sorts. From Investor’s Business Daily: Barack Obama wasn’t just the second-largest recipient of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac political contributions. He was also the senator from ACORN, the activist leader for risky “affirmative action” loans. Despite efforts to blame the rescue bill’s failure on

Or is it actually McCain she’s stumping for? I think a case can be made for either. View and discuss. At any rate, she’s forgiven — at least by me. Very few comics around play the self-conscious of being self-conscious game as well as Sarah does, which makes her a grand master in her field, even if her politics may (or may not) be puerile.
