Poll: Obama Faring Poorly Among Racists

Bigots Oppose Barack by 1000-1 Margin

In a potentially ominous sign for the presumptive Democratic nominee, a new poll shows Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) trailing far behind G.O.P. standard bearer Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz) among voters who identify themselves as racists.

Pundits and pollsters alike have wondered about the role racists might play in the 2008 presidential contest, but the new survey released today was the first concrete attempt to take the pulse of this key voting bloc.

The poll, conducted by Duh Magazine, suggests that Mr. Obama faces an uphill battle in his effort to win the votes of dyed-in-the-wool bigots.

"We wanted to know, why isn't Barack Obama closing the deal among racists?" said Charles Plugh, editor-in-chief of Duh. "The answer seems to be, because he's black."

In a head-to-head match-up, likely bigots chose Sen. McCain over Sen. Obama by a margin of one thousand to one, with a majority of racists saying they "strongly disagree" with Sen. Obama's decision not to be white.

Asked under what conditions they would conceivably vote for a black presidential candidate, 95% of racists responded, "Only if he was running against someone from a group I hated even more, such as Arabs."

Duh editor Plugh says the poll indicates that Sen. Obama "has his work cut out for him" if he is going to make up lost ground among racists.

"Sen. Obama made a choice at the beginning of this campaign to run as a black man," Mr. Plugh said. "He could change his position on that, but racists might see that as too little, too late."

Saint McCain's Got Cute Friends... Well Some People Think Katie Couric is Cute.

Here is the video that should prove to McCain that somebody does love him. Who else would show the level of care it takes to throw out the only news worthy part of the interview. You know the part where McCain shows how little he understands about the Iraq War (his supposed strong point), and erases his actual answer with his answer to another question. Got that... McCain totally screwed up and pretty much lets us know how ignorant he is on this war thingy, and CBS replaces his real answer to the question with an answer to another question. Yes, well how nice. How nice of CBS for covering such a major gaffe. Otherwise I may have been informed, and well who the hell wants that.

Obama Better Just Stay In Europe...

Because McCain's got a new ad and, well its over. We will go back and look at this couple of minutes and remember how McCain rose like a Phoenix from the ashes to give Bush a 3rd term. Hello Canada.

Why Is Gasoline So Expensive?

The rise in the price of oil in recent years involves four components:

— The effects of supply and demand. Exxon Mobil senior vice president Stephen Simon testified the supply-demand equilibrium is at “somewhere around $50-55 a barrel” — about half the current price.

– The weaker dollar. Since 2001, “the dollar has lost 45% of its value” against the euro. In 2003 one gallon of gas in the U.S. cost $1.50 and 1.50 Euro. Today’s $3.60 gallon of gas costs only 2.25 Euro.

– Geopolitical risk. Since 2003, the United States has been committed to a three-trillion-dollar war in Iraq, the heart of the turbulent oil-producing world. Furthermore, the burning of oil is continuing to increase global warming, “one of the greatest national security challenges ever faced.”

– Speculation. “Investors have looked to commodities not only as a hedge against inflation but as a hedge against the tumbling greenback.

This Makes Me Bitter... Actually, Its Scary

Photoshop: NOW FOR ALL YOUR WARMAKING NEEDS!!!

Professor William Beeman at the University of Minnesota passed along a note today from "a colleague with a U.S. security clearance" about the mysterious Syrian site targeted in a Sept. 6 Israeli airstrike.

The note raises more questions about the evidence shown last week by U.S. intelligence officials to lawmakers in the House and Senate.

The author of the note pinpoints irregularities about the photographs. Beeman's source alleges that the CIA "enhanced" some of the images. For example he cites this image:

SAN ANTONIO, November 15 - Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will join U.S. Reps. Ciro Rodriguez, D-San Antonio, Charles Gonzalez, D-San Antonio, Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, and San Antonio officials Saturday to discuss the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) bill.

The bill aims to cover children who are currently eligible for benefits under the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) but do not receive coverage due to insufficient federal funding. It would provide health insurance to 10 million children, including 966,406 in the state of Texas.

The event, scheduled for 12:30 PM on November 17th, will take place at Milam Park in San Antonio.

This I Want To Hear... Why Is So Much Money Missing?

It's official: embattled State Department Inspector General Howard "Cookie" Krongard will finally testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday.

Krongard, for the uninitiated, is the IG voted most likely to... not investigate waste, fraud and abuse. In September, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), the oversight committee chairman, accused him of scuttling investigations into corruption in State activities and contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Matters got worse when Krongard's subordinates told Waxman that his aides threatened retaliation against them for going public. Condoleezza Rice promised that Krongard would answer the charges. The FBI got involved. It's a whole to-do.
