Why Obama Will Win

Whatever the US ruling class wants to gain out of this election, it sure as shit isn't this.

More on Palin

Though by this time any liberal with a pulse can probably point you to at least five articles demonstrating that Sarah Palin is a liar, vindictive, etc (and can probably do an impression of Tina Fey's version of Palin as well), I found Chris Hedge's piece particularly worthwhile. Hedges investigates in some depth Palin's relationship with masculinity and the Christian Right.

An especially rich part is where Hedges talks about James Dobson's reflections on the innate differences between men and women:

For a woman, Dobson writes, love is her most important experience: Love gives woman her "zest," it makes up her "life-blood," it is her primary "psychological need." Love holds less meaning in a man's life than a woman's -- though a man can appreciate love, he does not "need" it.

Surely this tells us more about one particular man than the sex in general.

Sarah Palin: Anti-woman trogolodyte

Here is one of the more appalling nuggets discovered about McCain's VP: as Mayor of Wasilla, she oversaw the policy of having rape victims pay for their rape kits (that can run as high as $1000). See multiple sources here and here.

The fact that the Obama camp can't muster any kind of response is simply disgusting. The Democrat's are showing themselves to be impotent to this neanderthal. The election is still theirs to lose, but if the so-called "party of the people" cannot figure out how to win in November, the coffin in which the Republicans should have been buried might see a different occupant.

'Be Fruitful and Multiply'

I know, I know. This is obvious. But who can resist pointing out the karma involved when a Christian fundamentalist promoter of abstinence only education finds out that her 17 year old daughter is pregnant?
