IT COULD BE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE EXPLOITING MARGIN OF ERROR: Polls with Large Voter Samples all favor Romney; Smaller, Less Reliable Polls all favor Obama. Why?

IN VAIN I’VE STRUGGLED: I still have to link this story, because it’s too funny: Mourners flee after man turns up alive at his own wake. All I could think about was Tom Sawyer.  The photographs in the linked article in Portuguese do indeed show remarkable resemblance when you take in account one of them is dead.  On the other hand, the language in the article is (I think unintentionally) hilarious.  It reads like “Not having seen him four four months, his family decided he was dead.”  My son said it sounded like the er… mother of all mind games.  “You didn’t call in so long, we thought you were dead!”

I TOO AM SKEPTICAL:  Will China Follow the Singapore Model?

BY THEIR ADVISERS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM: Obama Getting More Bad Advice.  Fortunately he’s a “better campaign manager” than his campaign managers, so no sweat, right?

SO… IS THIS A WELL-KNOWN SF WRITER? Gay leftist wants Romney-supporting friends to “defriend” him.

GRRRRANDMOTHER POWER: Grandmothers gave humans longer lifespans.

PURE EVIL I TELL YOU: Don’t You Just Love . . . How People Jump On The Amazon Is Evil Bandwagon?  (Well, when it’s in your business interest to have people avoid Amazon, you do what you can.)

I WAS EIGHT BEFORE I COULD RECOGNIZE FACES: Including my mother’s.  I used to memorize what people were wearing every morning.  Which is… odd.  This might explain it: key to facial blindness located in brain.  Clearly the problem fixed itself, but it’s interesting anyway.

YES WE ARE: Tossing men out with the bathwater.

TECH IS REMAKING OUR WORLD: And this pretty much agrees with my position that government cannot stop it, it can only make it painful.    (But it can make it VERY painful.)

OF ALL CONSPIRACY THEORIES: This one was always the most credible. Because the KGB REALLY did things like this.

THAT’S GOING TO LEAVE A MARK: New ad by Clint Eastwood: An Obama rerun would not make my day.

FOR ALL:  Obama Campaign Manager Jim Messina Says He Doesn’t Know About Ft. Hood Terrorism Controversy.

HARMLESS MALFUNCTION IN NORTH CAROLINA: Guilford Co. voters say ballot cast for Romney came up Obama on machine. So, when voting be very careful.

ROMNEY RYAN RALLY AT RED ROCKS: Two pictures.  Background on this: we left our home in time to get there just before five under normal conditions.  About thirty miles out, the highway became a parking lot, where we got stuck for the next two hours.  The freaky thing was the lines extending behind us at least as much.  The highway exit was closed, but we’re conservatives/libertarians, we find ways. So we went back roads, parked in way outlaying parking lot (for another facility) and tried to walk.  Only the people ahead of us were getting turned back at the door, so we all walked back to our cars shouting stuff like “Romney” and  ” Soon a real president.”   Look at those pictures and let me tell you, at least that many of us were turned away or prevented from approaching.  Da roosterish, be not getting it, but… it looks like they’re gonna need a bigger October surprise.

LIKE A DOG TO HIS VOMIT:  Is THIS the October surprise?  EXCLUSIVE: Mitt Romney — Court Battle Over His Involvement in Bitter Divorce.  If it is, it shows one thing:Obama is truly incapable of having an original idea.  Or even close to it.  In fact, this is his signature move.  And done over and over.

UPDATE: Daniel Blatt at Gay Patriot blogged about it here.  I share his views on Ms. Allred being called a “civil rights attorney.”  Is that polite for “neither civil, nor right”?

HE ALREADY WEARS PAJAMAS: (And a cape!) Superman quits The Daily Planet – over the state of journalism.  He’s going to become a blogger.

WAR ON WOMEN: ObamaCare v. women.

GOOD, WE NEED EVERYONE: Log Cabin endorses Mitt Romney. Oh, yeah and — preference cascade, baby!

WARNING OF YEN DEVALUATION: Andrew Evans-Pritchard in the Telegraph: Japan to join currency wars as exports slump.

OKAY, BUT IT CAN’T CARRY A TUNE: Beluga whale imitates his keepers’ voices.

STOP THE PRESSES:  Obama has a plan.  (Okay, it’s a stupid plan, but it’s a plan.)

OBAMA VOTERS, EXPLAINED:  A postage stamp is sufficient to write what these people know about the economy.  Warning — Link goes to Democratic Underground.  But for your horrified perusal, here is an excerpt from the bucket of fail:

Let’s say that you have the ability to print your currency using your computer printer, and every merchant accepted your printouts as a valid exchange for goods and services. You need to pick up your dry cleaning? You printout a $20 bill and your cleaners hand over your garments without question. Same would be true for your mortgage, groceries, car note, etc. Your creditors even accept your printouts as payment on your debts.

Given this, how can you ever be broke? Answer, you cannot be broke. The U.S. government is not in debt simply because it can create currency to pay off the debt, and our creditors gladly accept our currency as payment on our debts. You see, the world needs our dollars because the world needs oil, and in order to buy oil, you need dollars, which means that the world needs to stockpile dollars, and that means that the U.S. can print all of the money that it wants without incurring massive hikes in interest rates to attract lenders.

WHY didn’t I think of that before?  We have a color printer.  This silly thing called a job?  Bah.  I’m printing money.  HOW is it possible these people live in the same world we do and understand so little?  HOW?
