They NGE'ed Sitemeter!

Rollback please!

For fans of SWG, it's deja vu all over again.

*Update: Sitemeter has been rolled back to its earlier incarnation. Oh, if only SOE had done this with the NGE.

RIP David Foster Wallace

Ugh. Another smart person has killed himself. My prayers go out to his family, friends, students, and fans.

Writer David Foster Wallace found dead

Please, if you are a smart person, a talented writer, or anyone else who contributes to this world, please, Heaven already HAS plenty of talent. They don't need you. WE do. LIVE.

These Crappy Ads Should Stop

Now, I LOVE a good negative ad. I still remember Reagan's "Bear in the Woods" ad, that's how effective it was. It was not only well, done but most importantly, it made a reasonable point.


This one starts out very well, but that crack about sex education is ridiculous:


Fail.



And this one is just garbage. Granted, Obama was an idiot to use the "lipstick" metaphor in context of Sarah Palin's ad-lib joke at the convention, but it is unfair and inaccurate to say he INTENTIONALLY meant HER. No, he was, all by himself, showing he is too dumb to lead this nation. McCain should have let the victory go at that but no, sensing the blood in the water, went too far:


Fail.


Now, Obama is not innocent in this either, in fact, one can say he has done one even more despicable than the other two.


Epic Fail.

Not only does John McCain know how to use a computer and send out an e-mail; he has a difficult time because his war injuries make using a keyboard tough.

Instead of THIS, far more effective ad that plays on the same theme:

Dudes, to quote the great political pundit whose "government name" is Sean Combs, you are buggin' the f**k out. A rich bimbo is making better attack ads than you. Cut the crap and let's see some quality attack ads, like this one:



Or this gem:

Smart attack ads FTW.

A Perfect Example

This is exactly what I was talking about in part of my earlier post, Interesting Press Release from Bob Barr, here we have a clear example of the misunderstanding from the left side of the spectrum.

First, note carefully, in his hatred of Republicans, how he fails to make the connection between the faction within the Jihad that took over Iran and declared war against us in 1979, and the faction of that same Jihad known as Al Qaeda that declared war on us and then attacked us on 9/11.

Also note how he blames REPUBLICANS for taking over 9/11 and using it for their own political ends, when he forgets HOW that happened. That happened primarily due to Democrat hatred of George Bush outweighing their love of freedom.

George Bush didn't do anything against Democrats after 9/11; Democrats, instead of helping to unite the country against the Jihad, immediately began to undermine our war against it.

Note the hatred in his missive, note the venom. THIS is what has divided this country, NOT George Bush. To be fair, George Bush has been weak on this as well; he has failed to truly educate the American people and has failed to effectively communicate what and why we fight.

That's HIS fault. The Democrats, however, have continued to obfuscate the situation in a clear attempt to hurt him. As we saw in 2006, they clearly chose that winning elections was more important than winning the war against the Jihad. In Olbermann's screed, we can see just how much hating his political enemies among his fellow Americans is more important to him than actually understanding the issues at hand and what we are up against.

It is time for everyone to stop this crap and recognize that our enemy, the Jihad, sees this and is emboldened by it.
