2008-09-10T06:25:00.000-05:00

I agree, though, that Sullivan's attacks have been outlandish and garishly personal. Troopergate and the Bridge to Nowhere . . .

Not having researched thouroughly, I will not comment (yet)

and creationism . . .

False assumption: Like many people, what she believes in is vastly different than what she has pushed as Governor are not connected. Creating bogey-men by trying to connect the two is specious.

and censoring library books

Now that one I did research as well. Absolute lie. Please identify and source one time she did any such thing. She did ask a hypothetical question of a librarian, but inferring anything from that -- pro or con -- is simply projecting. She could just as easily been asking for the opposite reason.

and criminalizing all abortions and opposition to stem cell research . . .

Again, what is your source ?

and membership in a secessionist political party

again, absolute lie. Check the voter records -- she's been a registered republican since 1982. This is an error made based on the fact that her husband -- who is not run

So far, on those items I have had the time for a fact-check, you're running a big ZERO percent. I eagerly await sourcing on the rest.

As a lifelong democrat, I have no interest in promoting Palin. But promoting truth -- and trying to preserve any shreds of integrity my party may have left compels me to try to set the record straight.

I didn't notice that Michael had a style. Just straight-out cut-and-paste from the Obama campaign.

You'll see a lot more of that crap, with or without lipstick, from both sides for the next 60 days: Campaign bots spewing talking points.

Seeing as it's to be a steady flow of stinking crap, I'll take mine with a little objectivity sprinkled on to cover up the smell. That goes equally for Palin cheerleaders waving pom-poms as well as those who are shoveling away furiously in the manure pile.

Now, if you want style, our cockroach friend has plenty to spare. I mind following his skitterings around the kitchen floor a lot less than trying to step over another cow pie of anti-Palin attack prose. Palin at least had the good grace to be funny.

You really should try to return the favor.

i'm in shock

i haven't been able to get to the computer lately
because tommy--he's the boy whose computer i use--
is now back in school big time
and he wants to play runescape
er--do his homework half the night
so if i want to comment i'm missing
my french-style late dinner of food
dropped behind the stove french-style
mom here at the house is french you see

anyway after finally getting to the computer
and looking at this and yesterday's horrible
horrible excuse for a blog post
with all that insect necroporn
i'm not eating dinner
--i'm having nightmares of becoming dinner myself--
no i'm hiding under tommy's bed tonight
or maybe under the fridge but i'm not eating anything

yecch

how dare you put up those obscene pictures as 'art'
i mean how would you like it if i put up hi-res pix
showing all that that beauty in chopped up heads
and body parts blown all over the place
from the latest car bomb or machete attack etc
in darfur or semi-peaceful iraq or someplace

how would you like it

yes, how would you like it....

i can't do live links and tommy was grossed out
by the pix from that fine artistic site
--rotten.com--
with the brains hanging out etc
so he wouldn't help me
--hey i only have 960 brain cells
and even i know how to put up live links, btw
unlike some of you who are too dumb--
i just can't jump on enough keys
at the same time dammit
so tommy has to help
but he has scruples

anyway if you go to
--rotten.com--
you do get to see humans whacked up
about like you saw the insects here lately

serves you right

you know there is such a thing as the transmigration of souls
yes there is
i was a professor in my last life
yes i was
i was a cynical turd and this cockroach thing
is my karmic comeuppance
oh if i had only the soul of a vers libre poet
alas i had the soul of a tenured departmental politician
i guess it was the insect politics that got me here
i was brutal
i had no compasssion
i brooked no compromise
i filled the department with mediocrities who had hot wives
you can fill in the blanks
yes it's hard being a cockroach but i suppose i deserved it

i put my insect politics to good use though
by becoming chair of the cambridge branch
of cockroaches for hillary
i thought she would be our first insect politician
i thought she was brutal
i thought she had no compassion
i thought she wouldn't compromise
then she gets rolled by a guy who looks like an earwig

this has been a really bad summer, now topped off
by this insect-themed horror on althouse
it's terrible i tell you

plus i did have a nightmare last night
i was turning into a beetle
except i was running for vice president
and as i was turning into a beetle
i couldn't stop talking
and my opponent was this perky little ladybug
who eats beetles for lunch
and no matter what i said

During her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention last week, Palin told parents of children with disabilities that she would be "a friend and advocate in the White House."

But the Alaska governor's support for the disabled has come under scrutiny since McCain chose Palin to be his running mate nearly two weeks ago.

Before her run for the vice presidency, advocacy for special needs programs had not been a central part of her political campaigns or during her administration, despite her sister's autistic son. Video Watch more on Palin's budget priorities »

Palin signed a bill this year increasing special needs funding but frustrated some of the bill's co-sponsors by stepping in only at the last minute.

Sonya Kerr, an Anchorage attorney specializing in disability rights, filed a lawsuit against the state and Palin, alleging that there are not enough services for kids with special needs, specifically a child with autism.

"I would say, welcome, Gov. Palin, to our reality and what we've been trying to deal with for a long time," Kerr said. "I hope that it means that there will be support on a bipartisan basis for what people with disabilities need so we are not a bargaining chip in the political

ABC's Charlie Gibson posed no challenge to several false, contradictory, or dubious assertions made by Sen. John McCain during a September 3 interview. Gibson is scheduled to interview McCain's running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, later this week.

2008-09-09T22:43:00.000-05:00

With the selection of Sarah Palin, McCain completes the job of defusing the enmity (and forgoing the honor) he earned in 2000, when he condemned Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as “agents of intolerance.”

His motives in choosing her were entirely tactical and mostly—the mot juste is that of Mike Murphy, once McCain’s top political aide, overheard by an errant microphone—cynical. Besides placating the right, those motives included the short-term goal of preëmpting the weekend news cycles that might otherwise have been devoted to reviewing Obama’s triumphant Democratic Convention.

The price that McCain paid, and that could sooner or later be exacted from the nation, was the abandonment of what he had repeatedly called his overriding requirement for a Vice-President: someone who would be ready to take his place at a moment’s notice—“you know, immediately.”

2008-09-09T22:38:00.000-05:00

The sex ed ad is literally worse than the Willie Horton ad, because at least the Horton story was true. But the bill Obama supported actually did the reverse of what McCain claims - it didn't mandate more sex ed for anybody, it tried to toughen up existing classes by teaching the risks of STDs.

The bill didn't glorify sex, it highlighted the dangers of sex. It's the most old fashioned sex ed there is: scaring kids straight. So now even THAT is anti-family?

Calling this "perverse" is a good first step, but the lie here deserves much, much more. It's the disgusting act of a candidate who cares more about scaring people with lies than warning kids about the dangers of early sexual activity. Anyone who would oppose such
warnings is an objective supporter of unprotected, unsafe underage sex.

2008-09-09T22:27:00.000-05:00

The McCain campaign has a new ad out that says (among other things):

"Obama's one accomplishment?

Legislation to teach "comprehensive sex education" to kindergartners.

Learning about sex before learning to read?

Barack Obama.

Wrong on education. Wrong for your family. "

John McCain: wrong on the facts. For starters, the bill is not a "legislative accomplishment": it never came up for a vote. If it had, and if it had passed, it would not have been Sen. Obama's "legislative accomplishment": he wasn't among its sponsors. It was passed out of his committee, and I believe he supported it, but as far as I can tell, that's the extent of his involvement with it.

More to the point, the bill in question requires that sex ed courses use medically accurate information. That is: any sex ed courses that are currently being taught have to be accurate. It requires that they be age-appropriate, which I think rules out explicit discussions of sex in kindergarten. It starts with an explicit opt-out clause:

"(a) No pupil shall be required to take or participate in any class or course in comprehensive sex education if the pupil's parent or guardian submits written objection thereto, and refusal to take or participate in such course or program shall not be reason for suspension or expulsion of such pupil."

So why, you might ask, did kindergarten even come up in the bill? Well:

"Barack Obama supports sensible, community-driven education for children because, among other things, he believes it could help protect them from pedophiles. A child's knowledge of the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching is crucial to keeping them safe from predators."

2008-09-09T22:20:00.000-05:00

John McCain's attack ad released Tuesday evening is perhaps the most outlandish yet this election cycle -- not simply because the spot claims that Obama lacks any substantive record on education policy, and not because McCain charges that Obama's lone feat is "comprehensive sex education" for kindergartners (a hysterical description of efforts aimed at protecting children from predators).

What sets this ad apart is that every article save one that the McCain camp cites as being critical of Obama's education policies either has far more derogatory things to say about McCain himself or goes on to praise the Illinois Democrat.

In the spot, the McCain campaign references a June 2008 Washington Post editorial that called Obama "elusive" on school accountability.

That same editorial, however, stated that McCain "has not been forthcoming with any detailed plan." Moreover, when the Post editorial board revisited the subject of education last month, it found that "Obama has given the issue more attention" than McCain, whose plan was "both late in coming and still a work in progress."

Moreover, the specific "elusive" claim is in reference to a David Brooks op-ed in the New York Times that was noted by the Post. But in that piece, Brooks was far more critical of McCain. "Obama endorses many good ideas and is more specific than the McCain campaign, which hasn't even reported for duty on education," the Times columnist wrote.

Additionally, during the heat of the Republican primary, Education Week ran a withering story on the lack of McCain accomplishments in the field, titled "John McCain on Education: Where Art Thou?"

"McCain is a campaign-finance, foreign-relations, anti-abortion, tax-cut candidate. Education is not his thing."

"Because, unlike you, the American people are opposed to incest and rape."

Keep it up.

Now, in order to say that a fetus resulting from rape or incest is anything less than guilty of committing the rape or incest is failing to oppose rape and incest?

Most people who agree that rape and incest are cases where abortion should remain legal can *comprehend* the argument that the baby is an innocent party.

What is so incredibly frightening about that?
