WSJ: America Hates Skinny Negroes from Roxanne - @ Rox Populi 01 Aug 2008 3:19 am
For years, we've watched W run, ride his mountain bike, clear brush, fish and "hit this drive." Now, the WSJ tells me that Obama is wrong for America because he's too fit and trim.
Also, notice something interesting about the art accompanying the WSJ Article?
Sad Desperation, Thy Name is Wall Street Journal from Roxanne - @ Rox Populi 03 Jul 2008 5:01 am
Right. And then the alarm clock went off.
Running to the middle during the summer before a presidential election happens every four years. I never thought it would be any different with the Democratic nominee this year. Which is related to why I never spent too much time howling at the moon over Clinton's war vote. Political expedience, triangulation ...whatever.
This hardly makes Obama the heir apparent to the single worst presidency of my lifetime. Some would argue it makes him a smart politician, even if they don't agree with his summer voting record.
BTW: Today's WSJ silliness doesn't stop with there. Looks like Karl Rove cribbed this David Brooks piece from earlier this week. That, OR Brooks is pushing the official RNC talking points.
David Brooks Writes Something I Agree With from Roxanne - @ Rox Populi 01 Jul 2008 5:42 am
Socially liberal knowledge workers naturally want to see people like themselves at the head of society, not people who used to run Halliburton and who are supported by a vast army of evangelicals.
A-fuckin'-men. The rest of his formulaic faux-folksy column is pure crap ...and for all the usual reasons.

Seriously, the single best thing about this Thomas Friedman "some Jews are afraid of the Obama, but not me because I'm creative-class" column is this tag at the end:
Maureen Dowd is off today.
Fun with Real Audio John McCain from Roxanne - @ Rox Populi 14 May 2008 6:21 am
A Shaker notes that John McCain will appear on SNL this weekend and then posts some vids showing his previous appearances. But, this one is the real knee slapper.
Caucuses Continue to Reveal the “True Will” of the People from Roxanne - @ Rox Populi 14 May 2008 6:03 am
Huckabee edition. The first set of data is from last night's election in West Virginia; the second from that state's nominating convention, held in February.
Memes You Won’t See in MSM from Roxanne - @ Rox Populi 12 May 2008 8:25 am
It looks like 32% of these uneducated, backwoods crackers down in Florida still won't vote for Obama.
Seriously, racist people can be found in all 50 states, in all demographic strata. But you knew that already.
The Intertubes are Overflowing With Media Hack Dumbasses from Roxanne - @ Rox Populi 07 May 2008 7:49 am
Exhibit A: Marc Ambinder.
Forget the horse race numbers for a moment: if the surveys are accurate, the polarization within the Democratic Party has reached critical levels. Nearly six in ten Obama supporters in Indiana say they would be dissatisfied if Clinton were the nominee -- that's (I believe) the high percentage of Obama supporters who have ever said that.
Nope. We've never seen that before. Except for, like, once a decade:
