It’s All About Looks With You People!

Gonzi asks:
When did J’s Notes change its look?
Sometime over the weekend.  This isn’t going to be the final design.  I’ve been meaning to do an overhaul and this is just a temporary design to force me along because I’ll look at this and go, “damn, I really need to get on that” and come up [...]

The Day After Navel Gazing

Fake Obama Contributions

While I think the story of Obama’s contribution system being less than secure is a very valid one, I don’t think a bunch of Republican’s giving Obama money under false names is particularly good for a number of reasons.  One, you’re giving him money during the homestretch, kudos.  Two, aren’t you committing some form of [...]

That’s What I Get For Fact Checking

So I helped liveblog tonight’s Mayoral Forum with RVANews and it was a good time.  Except that I had the screwup of the evening.
In answer to a question on health care, Dwight Jones asserted that he was the only candidate that mentioned the issue on his website.  Being on a computer I figured I’d check [...]

RVANews, Mayoral Forums And J~

It may sound like a bad coming of age novel (it is) but it’s really about Richmond’s upcoming mayor’s election on week from Tuesday, RVANews’s coverage of forums leading up to debate, and how yours truly will be helping with said coverage Tuesday night, October 28th.  Yes, I’m gonna be a livebloggin’ fiend.
Check out RVANews’s [...]

Mark Warner On Real Americans

To summarize: If you’re a member of the Christian Coalition, NRA, pro-life, or home schooled, you’re not Mark Warner’s idea of an American. Have fun, foreigners!

Racism Is Dumb

While this is indeed tragic, I don’t know if the Obama shirt was really the reason this happened:
Dube Egwuatu was buying a mobile telephone top-up card in an off-licence when the gunman confronted him and glared at the top, which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend ‘Believe’.
The man then [...]

Obama ‘08 iPhone Application

The Obama ‘08 iPhone application is a brilliant piece of outreach.  It sorts your contacts by state (labeling who they’re voting for), gives you events, talking points on the issues and more.  Just a one stop shop for converting your friends to Obamism.

Presidential Media Bias?

There’s an open thread at Bearing Drift concerning media bias in this year’s election.  Please feel free to head on over and share your thoughts.

Truthiness In Missouri

Bill Taggert puts it well when speaking about Obama “Truth Squad Regulators For TRUTH!” in Missouri:
A famous man once said:
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
That man was John F. Kennedy.
As much as people across [...]
