Obama’s “knives vs. guns” comment
June 16th, 2008
I have been trying to keep an open mind about this whole Barack Obama thing, I really have. But every time this guy opens his mouth, he gives me reason to think: This character is just not presidential material.
Obama’s latest sound bite features talk right out of one of those late 80s movies about the Bloods and the Crips. (I am specifically thinking about the 1988 movie Colors, starring Sean Penn and Robert Duvall.)

How the media spun Hillary’s victory in WV
May 18th, 2008
The anointment of Barack Obama continues within the Democratic Party, despite evidence that he would be less electable than Mrs. Clinton in the general election.
On Tuesday, May 13, Clinton scored a blowout against Obama in West Virginia, defeating the Illinois Senator by a wide margin of 67% to 26%.
The media felt obliged to report this, but they didn’t dwell on it for long. Nor did many of them stop to consider the unthinkable: that the Obama personality cult may be losing steam.
