CodeWeavers will give away its software products if Bush accomplishes any of his goals during the remainder of his presidency. Sounds like a fair deal - and brilliant on several levels. Here’s the challenge:
The CodeWeavers Lame Duck Presidential Challenge will make its software products downloadable for free to all Americans for 24 hours […]

I love the Electric Company style, but this thing needed a serious FAIL graphic at the end. Mix the old school and the new school together. Anyway, you’ll love this:

Tinfoil hats. Conspiracy theorists. That’s what people who argued this war was for oil were called. Um:
Influential former Pentagon official Richard Perle has been exploring going into the oil business in Iraq and Kazakhstan, according to people with knowledge of the matter and documents outlining possible deals.
Mr. Perle, one of a […]

Bush visited a fund-raiser at Umberto Fedeli’s house in
Gates Mills, OH today.
In case you aren’t familiar with Gates Mills - it’s exactly the kind of place you’d expect a Republican fundraiser to take place…
* 95% white
* 75% married couples
* $161,350 median family income
also…
* $500K+ median home value
* 76% of kids attend private elementary schools
You […]

via MSNBC:
US officials say the Justice Department has indicted Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens (R) on charges related to a long-running investigation of business dealings in Alaska.
The real question is when will he know? Probably not until Thursday or Friday depending on how tangled up the tubes are. Hopefully he’ll get his Internet by […]

Offshore drilling. The equivalent of of a drug addict trying to figure out a new way to cook crack. It’s not where our focus should be and hasn’t been really for over 30 years now. Carter was right. The solution is not to find more of the stuff that we are […]

What’s the old axiom in politics?
When you are explaining, you’re losing
If it were me, I’d just shoot another video lampooning those who made fun of the first clip. Once you decide on a course of action (no matter how silly or potentially embarassing), embrace it! That’s the first rule that both Matt and […]

I find it quite amazing that Ken Blackwell is so widely sought after as a columnist given that he is really a pretty crappy writer.
Sure he can form a complete sentence and he knows how to use the spell check function. But someone who gets paid to write for the New York Sun, Townhall.com, […]

Does Obama ignore the troops? Does he blow them off? Does he not care? Do they not see him as a capable leader?
DVIDS reports. You decide:
-
John McCain, the GOP, and Ohio wingnut blogger attacks against Barack Obama using the troops as a wedge are shameful and un-American.

Full circle in the matter of a day. Let’s run down the sequence of events, shall we?
1. Matt Hurley at WMD posts a video of his partner Mark attempting humor and failing miserably
2. I post and link to it
3. Matt pulls the post down from WMD
4. I have email exchange […]

Completely and totally agree:
“Mr. McCain is running the absolute most pathetic campaign I have ever seen in my whole life,” Stein said in his unmistakable monotone delivery. “His campaign is just heartbreakingly pathetic. He is a very impressive guy. He is a brave guy, but he is running the most lackluster campaign I have ever […]

I’ve been saying for a while that McCain gets pass after pass. The only reason it really seems the coverage favors Obama over McCain is that Barack makes far fewer stupid blunders than does McCain. There is news there. No surprise. But De Magno Opere uncovers an LA Times pieces that […]

Matt decided to pull down the video. Probably because he and Mark were being openly mocked. What he should have known is that the interns at Plunderbund regularly archive material we think might come in handy. We have a copy. In the interest of comedy and as a public service we […]
