On Hume’s show. Early, sure. But how can anybody doubt Mort? Socialism is on the move, people. Embrace the volk! **** update: The end is near. Americans have chosen socialism. Or, more precisely, Americans have been carefully trained, over a number of years, to chose a candidate based on the most superficial of features (age, appearance), and for the most contrived of reasons (the campaign is “historic”; the candidate represents

What youth vote? For what it’s worth, in the Hispanic neighborhood where I voted this morning, I didn’t see anyone under 35-40. Maybe Obama, by re-embracing late-60s New Leftism, underestimated how seriously his would-be supporters might internalize the Rubinesque rallying cry, “never trust anyone over thirty.” Oops.

And by “you,” presumably he means either geeky twenty-somethings who like to dress in pirate garb, or gay boys. Didn’t we once fight a Revolution so that we didn’t have to listen to assholes like this? Somebody needs to push past his security entourage and dump Mr Bloom’s tea into his giant swimming pool. h/t MKH

John Fund, WSJ: Last week Mike Sandvick, head of the Milwaukee Police Department’s five-man Special Investigative Unit, was told by superiors not to send anyone to polling places on Election Day. He was also told his unit — which wrote the book on how fraud could subvert the vote in his hometown — would be disbanded. “We know what to look for,” he told me, “and that scares some people.”

I dunno. Does the Pope shit schnitzel? From John Rosenthal: Has the Obama campaign made a regular practice of accepting illegal foreign campaign contributions, as the research of Kenneth Timmerman suggests? Well, if one is to judge by an article published last month by the Italian columnist Maria Laura Rodotà, in certain European circles such contributions would appear to be an open secret. Moreover, Rodotà’s account of being inundated by

Red State diaries: RS has received a tip that an unknown number of voters in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania are receiving phone calls informing them — falsely — that their voting stations have been relocated. At least 3 of the voters who received such calls determined that the information was false, and informed officials of this illegal attempt to prevent them from casting their ballots. The three specific cases that have
