Obama responded to McWhiner's new line of attack today.  He started off by addressing the  Celeb ad:

Speaking to volunteers at an Orlando phone bank, Obama ribbed McCain for taking the campaign into the gutter. "When we started this campaign, we were hoping for a more elevated debate. I mean, imagine — at a time when we face more challenges than at any time in our lifetime, these guys are running ads with Paris and Britney," he said. "That’s frivolous. It’s desperate."

I found this article by Linwood Barclay, who argues that Rush is the one that is faking EDS (extreme dick syndrome):

Now, I know this may offend those who suffer from this particular condition, and these individuals might not like it much when I suggest that a certain person with this diagnosis is exaggerating his symptoms, but I have to say, I think Rush Limbaugh is just pretending to be a dick.

While the right-wing radio host does exhibit most, if not all, of the common characteristics of this behaviour, it's so rare for all of them to coalesce at a single moment that one can only conclude Limbaugh's most recent performances are nothing short of fraudulent.

When I first heard that dKos was going to be redesigned I was excited.  I'm a liberal - I embrace change and I was hoping that several minor issues with the old site would be fixed.

I logged in yesterday to find that the ads were now in the middle of the page, the margins were a barren waste land, the front pagers were screaming, and Kos was now spelled with a l{.  No problem, I thought, changes are bound to involve some disappointment.  I was sure I would get used to it and even learn to love the unique layout.  

The disaster below the fold

Yep that's right - Mr. the insurgents are in their death throws has called Dean 'Over the Top'

www.reuters.com :

Really? So does that mean bushes approval ratings would be at 25% without Dean's 'Help'?

I was looking up some sites at the Wayback Machine and noticed that Fox News blocks the crawler that archives websites.  For those of you that aren't familiar with the site, it's a site that archives almost every site on the web back to 1996.  All of the other news sites, like MSNBC and CNN allow archiving.

It leaves me wondering why they don't want the site archived.  Maybe it has something to do with there tendencies to publish fake articles:

What else is on the site that they don't want in the public archive?

From a NY Times article.  

Like we didn't know this was coming.

I have been watching and waiting for someone to bring up what the 9/11 report stated without naming names.  Bush was asleep at the wheel before 9/11.

Here is what the 9/11 report says about actions after the August 6 PDB

And here is, what I think, one of the most damning statements in the report from the head of the MN FBI office reffering to his reason for wanting a search warrant for the 20th hijacker

I have noticed that Lawrence O'Donnell has brought this up twice recently.  On Scarborough Country and on The McLaughlin Group.

Is he laying the ground work for our October surprise?
