No word yet from API, but having pored over a few YouTube videos myself, I have established that there tends to be a great deal of pixelation and motion blur in the videos in which she appears — and that her strange, possibly alien chemical makeup affects even those around her, leaving them appearing likewise halting, pixelated, and out of focus, their voices often low and muffled (particularly in instances

From API, who was the recipient, they claim, of an angry phone call from Michelle Obama with respect to African-Press International’s less than hagiographic treatment of The One: When API told [Michelle Obama] that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is

Glenn Reynolds doesn’t think so — though he does think the race is much closer than we’re being led to believe — whereas US News’ James Pethokoukis isn’t so sure: Barack Obama actually told that Joe the Plumber guy that he wants to “spread the wealth around.” What, did Obama just get done reading the Wikipedia entry on Huey “Share the Wealth” Long or something?

In the White House, that means getting Obama a broad popular and geographic mandate for change. In the House, that

Not surprised at all by this, but TalkLeft is quick out of the box with the dark suggestion that Joe Wurzelbacher — Joe the Plumber — is a racist who inadvertently let the mask slip and his white supremacist face show. Had something to do with bald head, I bet: Via Politico: In Katie Couric’s post debate interview with Joe the Plumber […] Joe said Obama has a “tap dance…almost
