I’m also proud of – and extremely grateful for – the outpouring of support this little blog (and the accompanying book – now a collector’s item!) has received. I don’t know if either made even a small bit of difference in the election (I’d like to think that at least some of the 600,000-odd unique visitors to the site came with one opinion and left with something new to think about), but I enjoyed just about every minute of it. I sincerely thank all of you who submitted tips, made comments, and emailed words of encouragement.

As far as what’s next, stay tuned… I have an idea for a follow-up that I hope to launch very soon. But, for right now, I’m gonna go wake up my kids and give them each a kiss.

Good night all. Congratulations.

PS: Age a bigger concern than race, polls say. (CNN)

Is there any doubt left anymore that this guy is the real deal?

The above notwithstanding – and given that one of the great truths of life is that “no one knows how to lose an election like a Democrat” (the other great truth being “no one knows how to steal an election like a Republican”) – this thing ain’t over yet. So, until the fateful hour when it’s made official finally arrives and the sleazebags in the media (I’m looking at you, CNN) have no choice but to finally let go of the horserace bullshit that has a good part of the country worked up into a lather, let’s all make some calls to GET. OUT. THE. VOTE.

If anyone else can find a clip first, do share – the program (or “programme”) was called “Decision Time Unplugged”.

Good God, why can’t it be Tuesday already so we can send this dottering fool to the old soldier’s home (so he can) await the cavalry charge?

Transmitting live throughout the day, our US Political Correspondent Andrew Wilson is talking to senartors, party representatives, organisations, voting bloc reps, and local residents about issues such as healthcare, immigration, foreign affairs, the economy etc. It is a fun, informal show from a luxury house on Dilido Island. We are balancing the more serious issues with fun discussions and pieces, such as our ‘swing-state fridge-o-meter’, pool of polls, quotes of the day, viral ads and live bands.

We will be interviewing Joe Quint about his book and video ’72 Things Younger Than John McCain’. We will be playing the clip and chatting to Joe about the popularity of his work, and the message behind the humour.

The show will be available to view on the Sky News Channel live at 3pm.”

Seriously, is there *anyone* involved in this campaign that *isn’t* batshit insane?

Rev. Al really took a lot of heat back in the late 80′s during the whole Tawana Brawley thing. For those who don’t know the story, Ms. Brawley was a teenager who accused six white men (including a few police officers of rape). These accusations were inflamed by Al (et al) and were later found to be untrue… a grand jury concluded that Brawley had not been the victim of anassault and that she herself may have created the appearance of an attack.

In related news, John Moody, executive vice president at Fox News, commented on his blog today that “if the (Ashley Todd) incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain’s quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting.”

Well, guess what?

Two words: President Palin.
