Apparently Stewart and Colbert’s show staff have created an election blog, which you can check out here. It’s called the Comedy Central Indecider. They promise “We’ll have a whole lot of ridiculous nonsense for you everyday until Election Day, complete with special guests, uninformed opinions and maybe even a few official endorsements. It’ll be just […]
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting…. the Congressman on another planet:
Don Young predicts there will be no Republican congressional seats lost this election.

This is the transcript of a conversation discussing a friend’s homework assignment regarding North Korea returning to six-party talks later this year.
Me: i kind of wish you had provided more background on the third paragraphMe: for instance, you could talk about how north korea had a nuclear program since the 1980s but because of the […]
Today I discovered that I apparently have unlimited access to Lexus Nexus from anywhere in the world through my college. This is so freaking awesome. I’ve been using it all day to look up all sorts of things.
Update: I think this means that I don’t have to pay for that New York Times Select crap […]
Coverage of the incident where Virginia Republican Senator George Allen’s staffers tackled, dragged, and assaulted an ex-marine liberal blogger (video here) has expanded after initially being reported by CNN and a local Virginia NBC affiliate. The blogger, ex-marine turned University of Virginia law student Mike Stark, writes:
I demand that Senator Allen fire the staffers who […]
John, over at Crooks and Liars explains:
Mike Stark, from Calling all Wingnuts was attacked by George Allen’s camp today for basically asking him some tough questions after Allen finished his speech. He was not protesting or interrupting Allen in any way.
Stark (a first year law student at the University of Virginia) was trying to ask […]
As promised earlier, I’m gonna talk a little bit about recent polls in key Senate races. There is some question over how much polls right before elections are worth, but they’re what we’ve got so that’s what we’ll talk about.
Bottom line: Democrats are either favored or there is no change in 4 key Senate races. […]
I kind of love Jack Cafferty.
The President recently insisted that “we’ve never been stay the course.” White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said last week that he could only identify 8 examples of when the President had said ’stay the course’ and Keith Olbermann was able to find 30-something examples. Below are a list of all 57 times the President […]
As mentioned yesterday, the American death toll for October in Iraq surpassed 100, the highest by far this year. The Pentagon now says that the sheer number of American troops in Iraq has “swelled” to 150,000 (also the highest since January). AFP notes that earlier this year when troop-reduction seemed possible, there were only 127,000 […]
According to recent polling and some recent analysis I have read, things are looking better for Democrats in key races… I’ll have more on this later today, but feel free to feel optimistic about Senate chances. I may even update the Senate predictions, (which can be viewed at the top of every page). There is […]
Is it a coincidence that Democraitc congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (who is running against Republican anti-immigration immigrant Tan Nguyen), who has been a vocal critic of the flawed government no-fly lists– got stopped while trying to board a plane because her name had mysteriously appeared on the no fly list intended to stop terrorists from boarding […]
This is from the November 6th edition of TIME Magazine. The election is on November 7th. Caption, for those of you who have trouble reading small text: “He’s faltering on Iraq. He’s out of favor with his own party. He’s increasingly isolated. Why this election is all about George W. Bush and the world he’s […]
Completely irrelevant CNN/OPR poll, for your amusement:
Three-quarters of respondents said they have a favorable opinion of Fox; only 26 percent felt that way about Limbaugh, while a majority, 58 percent, said they have an unfavorable opinion of the conservative talk-show host.
Update: Video CNN report here (Quicktime, Windows Media choice). Apparently Limbaugh is less popular than […]
