My first thought when I saw the MoveOn ad below was,
“Gee, I really want to suck my thumb.”
But after I saw it on the internets a few times, I realized that this is not what most adults would be thinking if they saw this ad. Instead, they would more likely recognize their own Gen-Y kids […]

Editor’s Note: Charles Lemos’s article, “Beijing Olympics: Brought to You By Barack Obama,” offers more background on Obama’s massive ad buy.
………………………………………………..
This picture was sent to me earlier this year by a friend that is a buddhist monk. We are both of the faith typically called “Tibetan” Buddhism. As such, we’re pretty much […]

The Obama campaign has made a $5 million dollar ad buy during NBC’s coverage of the Beijing Olympics that start on August 8, 2008.

I don’t think it’s helpful to refer to a presidential candidate as a liar. I will not refer to Obama as a liar. That kind of talk lowers the civic discourse, it impugns the name of a public servant, and distracts us from the important duty of selecting a president. So, please ignore the image […]

According to the official Barack Obama campaign, “Barack speaks to voters about the core values this nation was founded on and how they have guided him to work hard for his education” in his advertisement entitled “The Country I Love.” One wonders if lying is one of these “core values,” for Obama states in second 47 of […]

A word to Obamatons–Karma is a bitch. I put up an ad on NoQuarter when we first started as a way of saying thank you to some folks who helped me in the beginning. I didn’t charge them. It was my way of saying thanks. Well, they asked me to take […]

HE CANNOT WIN IN NOVEMBER! As Larry wrote, only slightly tongue-in-cheek about the Obama campaign’s dilemma, “If we would just figure out a way to get rid of those damn middle aged, non-college educated, cash strapped white bitches, then we would appreciate the utopia Obama is offering.”
Thing is, this lower-class white bitch (okay, sorry, […]

According to Obama supporters and his allies in the media, Hillary is finished and the nomination is securely in Obama’s hands. David Broder laments that “If Clinton weren’t still challenging, [Obama] could easily devote a week to a swing through Hispanic enclaves from California to New York.” But Hillary is challenging and I take Hillary […]
