Activist justices
In a debate tonight amongst the candidates for MN Senate (Coleman, Franken. Barkley), Franken noted that Clarence Thomas is the most activist of the justices because Thomas has voted to overturned legislation more than any of the others. I've been meaning to post something supportive of LJ who commented on the meaning of "activist" a while back, but hadn't gotten to it. But this note from Franken, if he's right, backs LJ up.
Should have started with Minnesota,
which went from solid to leaning Barry on Thursday. We'll have to do Minn next before it moves to leaning Mac.
Did you notice
Virginia went from toss-up to Barry on Thursday making O 277? And West Virginia went from McCain to toss-up, dropping him to 158. Let's poll the rest of the toss-ups.
OK, let's go on record re electoral college
Three say O by more than 15; two say Mac by more than 15. I'm one of the latter.
Fitzpatrick RICO investigation of Barry and ACORN?
Unsubstantiated rumor that I should pass on:
There IS a RICO investigation of ACORN and the Obama campaign underway - this has now been established by the mainstream media. Right now it’s rumored here in Chicago that Patrick Fitzgerald is heading it (confirmation on that has not come yet). There is a lot of activity in Chicago right now, with a lot of IRS agents looking into the finances coming in and out of this city, and across state lines (this was established on Monday when the GOP issued emergency press releases that much of Obama’s campaign contributions could very well be illegal foreign contributions - what appears to be deliberately poor record keeping designed to hide the true identities and monetary sources of online donors is at issue here). We see in 15 states now that ACORN is being busted for attempted voter fraud, and for fraudulent, illegal voter registrations in the hundreds of thousands, if not a million. The article below states, and we have confirmed this with people who know for sure, that the people who gathered evidence of Obama’s fraud and voter intimidation techniques during the primaries against Hillary Clinton are sharing everything they have with the Republican Party and the federal government.

You must be so proud of what's been wrought
I suspect McCain wishes these folks would get off his side; I wonder whether he'll realize that "approving this message" in his ads is contributing to this.
SNL
For tomorrow's show (if there's a new one), I'd like to see them have McCain wandering through skits and in front of the camera randomly throughout the night.
Economists for McCain against McCain
Many economists who are generally for McCain are against his mortgage-buying plan.
More ACORN and Barry
Barry gave ACORN $800,000 this year:
Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's campaign distanced itself Thursday from its $800,000 payment linked to the liberal ACORN organization, which is under investigation in several states where it is suspected of filing fraudulent voter registrations.
Federal Election Commission reports show ACORN-affiliated Citizens Services Inc. got $832,598 from the Obama campaign for get-out-the-vote work during the primaries. [Geraghty]

You want economy?
OK, here:
ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released the following statement signed by 100 distinguished and experienced economists at major American universities and research organizations, including five Nobel Prize winners Gary Becker, James Buchanan, Robert Mundell, Edward Prescott, and Vernon Smith. The economists explain why Barack Obama's proposals, including "misguided tax hikes," would "decrease the number of jobs in America." The prospects of such tax rate increases under Barack Obama are already harming the economy. The economists conclude that "Barack Obama's economic proposals are wrong for the American economy." The proposals "defy both economic reason and economic experience."

Two years ago
With [anti-American Venezuelan despot Hugo] Chavez at his side, Ayers voiced his support for "the political educational reforms under way here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chavez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution. . . . I look forward to seeing how . . . all of you continue to overcome the failures of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane."
Ayers told the great humanitarian Chavez: "Teaching invites transformations, it urges revolutions large and small. La educacion es revolucion."

Jonah Goldberg
spots the real underground network . . . on the left:
I get a lot of email from self-described liberals, independents and conservatives these days who all seem to think alike. To wit: they all use very similar language about how conservatives are dishonorably talking about things that just happen to be inconvenient to the Obama campaign, that we're inviting violence against Obama, that I/we/the Corner should be ashamed of this, that, or the other thing.
For instance, during the first days after the Sarah Palin pick, when the Obama campaign was shaken, I was amazed by how many emails from self-identified "longtime fans" and others who've been "reading me for years" who told me how much they hoped I would tell the truth about the consumate evilness of Sarah Palin. The language was similar, the tactics identical: Butter me up, tell me that I alone have the integrity to tell the hard truths. Now it's not that I don't think some liberals can be fans of mine. Nor is it that I think everyone of these people is sitting in some huge room full of computers in David Axelrod's basement. But, there's simply something fraudulent in the tone, tenor and number of emails I get along these lines. I don't know if Obamaphiles get tips about how to email conservatives or if there's an astroturfing operation at work or if this is simply an example of talking points and tactics working themselves out virally. But it just feels too coordinated for me to take entirely seriously.

Andrew McCarthy
We are too hung up on the word terrorist. Yes, Ayers was a terrorist, but he's not anymore in the sense that he hasn't bombed anything in a long time. He is, however, and he has always been, a radical leftist revolutionary. Don't take my word for it -- he proudly says it himself, as I detailed in this post yesterday.
That was the ideology that drove him to bomb American targets, it is the ideology he has taken to America's classrooms (which are just a different front in the same war he has been raging against our society for 40 years), it is the ideology he has never hidden from anyone, and -- here's the point -- it is the ideology that drove his partnership with Barack Obama. That's the reason Obama is minimizing the relationship. Obama and Ayers worked well together -- happily funding the same communists, socialists, America haters, Israel haters, etc. -- because they were ideologically aligned. Obama is smoother and more marketable than Ayers, but ideologically they're coming from the same place: American society needs drastic change. And if you want to know the change Obama and Ayers have in mind, look at what they did at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Look at Obama's Chicago years, which explains why Ayers and Dohrn would host the launching of his political career from their living room. That's where Obama doesn't want to go -- because if voters look there, he's toast.

US Debt Clock...
runs out of digits.
But don't worry:
"The clock's owners say two more zeros will be added, allowing the clock to record a quadrillion dollars of debt."
