YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WASTE: Battery firm’s bankruptcy threatens high-end carmaker.

I’M SO TIRED OF ATTITUDES LIKE HERS: Longoria does her part to put the ‘twit’ in ‘Twitter.’

Longoria — and the man she’s campaigning for — still have some explaining to do. Does either of them believe what the original tweet implies? Because it implies several things, none of which reflect well on liberals or Democrats that believe such nonsense.

1. All women should think the same.

2. All minorities should think the same.

3. Any woman or minority that doesn’t think like the majority of women and minorities is, by definition, “stupid.”

Ms. Longoria — and the man you’re campaigning for — as a first generation immigrant from a country the Federal Government counts as Latin and, yes, female, let me inform you “stupid” doesn’t mean what you think it means.  I’d stake my IQ against yours any day, in public, in a duel to the pain.

VIRTUOSO POLL DANCING: That Q Poll Showing Obama Up by Five in Ohio Has a Flaw (Updated: PPP Too?)

AMANDA GREEN HAS HAD ENOUGH: Color me skeptical.  For someone like me who doesn’t watch the main stream media this was a jaw-dropper.  Have they really gone that insane?  Don’t let them saddle us with a four year disaster because of a storm. Vote, volunteer and GOTV… as if your country depends on it.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER HIM: when someone as uninterested in politics as my husband writes political satire, it’s telling (either that or he lived too long with me.)  At any rate, O Llama and I is free on Amazon today.  Stick or Treat, also free today, is his more usual fare — even if Amazon did something funny to the cover.

AND THEY THINK THIS IS A GOOD AND PROPER THING: For campaigns’ traveling press corps, social media has changed way game is played.

I ALREADY HAVE A DADDY:  But I’ve lately started wondering if the current Democrats aren’t in some odd way trying to capitalize on the wounded children of the shattering social revolution. Two Democrat presidents with absentee dads in a row might be just a coincidence, but it doesn’t feel that way.  Obama’s “weirdly paternalistic form of social liberalism”. As we used to say, when I was a hardcore Libertarian: We don’t want to be your mommy, we don’t want to be your daddy.  We want you to move out of the basement and get a job.  (Getting adults to take responsibility would be good too to avoid more wounded children.) Wonder if that could be a winning electoral message?  We shall see.

FOUR YEARS, ONE STORM.  EYES ON THE BALL: The storm before the storm?

THE CHILDREN’S CRUSADE: Michelle Obama: ‘I’ve had 10-year-olds who are on a phone bank’ for Barack.  This explains some of the calls I’ve had.  Not particularly literate ten year olds.  My name is apparently impossible to pronounce.  My first name.
