I know much of what follows may seem hard to believe, but links provided are all genuine.

SARAH PALIN IS NOT QUALIFIED TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY. She consorts with far right fringe groups. She lies about her public life. She lies about her personal life. This combination is far too risky for our country in these uncertain times.

There are dangerous forces at work trying to undermine the sovereignty of the United States. There are groups actively working to break up the United States, fringe groups that make it their mission to infiltrate major parties and break this great country into pieces.

And the Republican candidate for vice president supports these groups. The specific group is the ALASKAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY.

As GOVERNOR OF ALASKA, she stated that she was “proud of the contributions they made” to state politics. Their platform includes the hope that they create an independent Alaska, one that could hold the rest of the US hostage to their oil hegemony. http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/09/the_alaska_independence_party.php

SARAH PALIN, who didn’t even follow the war in Iraq until 2006 - and didn’t even have an OPINION about a cause our SOLDIERS FIGHT AND DIE FOR – is not qualified to lead our country. http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/08/palin-surge-wha.html

SHE LIED about opposing the “Bridge to Nowhere,” and took the pork barrel money anyway. http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-08-31-palin-bridge_N.htm?csp=34

SHE LIED about being a tax cutter as mayor of her hometown, as she raised the sales tax often. http://www.adn.com/sarahpalin/story/511471.html

SHE THINKS NOTHING OF CALLING OTHER WOMEN IN POLITICS “BITCH” and was party to making fun of another women’s breast cancer (LINK CONTAINS THE AUDIO, AND IT IS UGLY)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/31/palin-laughs-as-opponent_n_122776.html

SHE LIED about using her political office to exact revenge on her former brother-in-law. http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=8933043

Do not succumb to the temptation to think that criticism of Governor Palin is anti-feminist. To choose such a manifestly unprepared and unworthy candidate for the possibility of serving in the highest office in the land shows John McCain understands nothing about women’s rights, or the struggles many of our own mothers went through to overcome every obstacle put in their way. Instead, he insults women with a move born of tokenism and desperation.

liars and the lying lies they perpetuate.

The (Annotated) Gore Energy Speech - Dot Earth - Climate Change and Sustainability - New York Times Blog

not that i agree with everything revkin adds here, but this is a superb speech from the great visionary public policy statesman of our era.  when gore was VP he seemed ok but not necessarily a world-changer.  but between his absolutely spot-on speeches in 2002 about iraq (speeches which enraged pretty much every jerk-off in american politics and the media) and his proselytizing on climate, he has risen to the occasion more than anyone else in my lifetime.

what first amendment?

Cheney's third term | Gristmill: The environmental news blog | Grist

John McCain takes the "conserve" out of "conservative." His entire energy efficiency strategy would fit on one side of a very small file card and can be summarized as follows: Ban Porsches, green federal buildings, and applaud homeowners who do stuff on their own!

"troglodyte homonculous"

brilliant.

great video from sea studios about business getting ahead of government on climate change. inspiring and gives one a sense of hope in an increasingly frightening confluence of data points (glacier reversal, heat cycle, oil depletion and so on).

no john, you can't be president. my children depend on your failure.

these people are funny. i will find and post more.

TPM Cafe | Talking Points Memo | The Lying Despicable Campaign To Turn Jews Against Obama

The reason I refer to chickens coming home to roost is because I believe that Russert would not have mentioned Farrakhan if segments of the Jewish community had not raised this rather insignificant Muslim preacher into prominence. They did that by publicizing every nasty comment about Jews or Israel the man ever made, as if he had a huge following, was a candidate for high office, or was successfully instigating pogroms.

But that is what some segments of the community enjoy doing. It is as if our identity is only secure when we can point to enemies. Unfortunately, and predictably, our well-publicized responses to Farrakhan's attacks gave him national prominence he does not deserve.

In that sense, it is our own fault that Tim Russert asked Barack Obama about his non-existent relationship with Farrakhan. But it is Russert who asked the question and he is the one who needs to be called out for it. It is also worth noting that Farrakhan is seriously ill with cancer and has been out of the limelight for years -- at least until Russert decided to make him a story when he no longer is one.

exactly. i've received some of the hate mail being circulated by jews against obama, and all i can say is: the crap is ridiculous, self-destructive and ultimately self-hating.

the linkage between the war and the subprime mess is interesting. and depressing.
