Terry McAuliffe tries to “kill off” Tim Russert’s Dad

By: Cary Briel, Skaneateles Design

Terry McAuliffeActing as animated as ever during his recent Meet the Press interview, Clinton campaign co-chair Terry McAuliffe insinuated on Sunday that host Tim Russert’s father was dead. He isn’t. “But it’s not impossible for Hillary Clinton to win,” said McAuliffe. “A lot of people have said that. Big Russ, if he were sitting here today — nothing’s impossible. Jack McAuliffe, if they were with us today, they’re probably both in heaven right now Tim, probably having a scotch, looking down saying, you know what: this fight goes on. It’s good for the Democratic Party. Millions of people coming out to vote, it’s exciting.” Not missing a beat, Russert quickly corrected his always genial guest. “Big Russ is in the Barcalounger still watching this,” he said. “God bless him.” Watch the video.

Obama’s new “Vote for Change” initiative “should scare the beejeesus out of the McCain campaign and the RNC”

By: Cary Briel, Skaneateles Design

Vote for change initiative - ObamaThe Atlantic.com website reports that although the Obama campaign calls its “Vote for Change” voter registration drive a mere voter registration drive (i.e., Nothing to see here, folks, except for ordinary people helping ordinary people gain the franchise), it’s much more than that. Obama’s Vote for Change program will lay the foundation for his general election get-out-the-vote efforts, according to the Atlantic. Obama aides won’t say more, but I gather the campaign is constructing an incredibly elaborate online interface to allow its more than a million donors and volunteers to directly persuade their neighbors through a variety of media. On election day, the Obama camp might have more than a million individuals volunteering on his behalf. That should scare the beejeesus out of the McCain campaign and the RNC. Read the full story, including the latest Obama campaign release, here at the Atlantic.com website.

Hagee, John McCain’s pastor, calls Catholic Church “the great whore of Revelation”

By Cary Briel, Skaneateles Design

John McCain’s pastor Rev. John Hagee states that the Roman Catholic Church is the whore of Revelation, also making connection w/ HitlerWhich of these two scenarios is more likely? A.) The US, and it’s past foreign policy toward Arabs in this world is at least partly responsible for what happened on Sept 11, 2001, or B.) the Catholic Church is who is characterized by the “great whore” of the Book of Revelation?

If you believe that option A is possible, then you agree with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. If you can stomach option B, then you agree with Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s pastor, the Rev. John Hagee. (more…)

And the pulitzer goes to… Jerry Springer?

By: Cary Briel, Skaneateles Design

Charlie RoseI watched the Arianna Huffington interview on Charlie Rose a few days ago. You really have to love Charlie Rose and the intellectual integrity he represents amidst a sea of Jerry Springer-like, sensational and biased news media here in the US. Here’s a question for you: click here and then here and let know how long it takes you to tell the difference? Compare to this, and you’re task becomes more difficult yet. I frequent HuffingtonPost.com as well as BBCnews.com, to escape the 24-7 Rev Wright, kindergarten siege of mainstream US news coverage.
