Obama in Berlin Overall, though, the mood was warm, even joyful, a sign perhaps of just how deep the yearning outside the US is to end the current era — and to have an America non-Americans can believe in again.

Now Is The Time!

nobody@vox.com(Daniel Garnett) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:28:07 +0000

Let me begin by saying that I am not here to endorse any one candidate that is running for office this year. I am still not certain who I am going to vote for. Whoever James Dopson decides to vote for I will vote for (if you have been listening...

Excerpt Taken From: "Political Slogans"

nobody@vox.com(Talent Zoo) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:05:26 +0000

In case you’ve been in a deep coma or someplace in the third world where newspapers and the internet are as hard to come by as lunar eclipses, the 2008 Presidential election will be remembered for a lot of obvious reason and one them for me is Ba...

Excerpt Taken From: "A Day in the Second Life"

nobody@vox.com(Talent Zoo) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:51:56 +0000

I cannot escape from social media and I must admit, I am not running very fast either. This Presidential campaign season has shown that the internet is now more important than ever when it comes to elections. Barack Obama, part of the first gener...

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it Seems there is a problem. ...

Presidential Race?

nobody@vox.com(Kev) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:10:30 +0000

It seems to me that the media has selected our next president for us all ready. Every time a race for office occurs in this great country, the media spins the data to favor the candidate of their liking. This race for the presidency is no excep...

Women Issues/Election Topic

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:24:03 +0000

I have serious concerns that someone that's OPPOSED TO BIRTH CONTROL could be the next President of the United States. Great article by Katha Pollitt on the topic in The Nation.

Obama is the one who will bring Order to the Force

nobody@vox.com(cmatera) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:40:45 +0000

I believe that I've arrived late to the party on this one. I just came across this cover and boy am I shocked. Does the left really picture Obama as some Christ-like figure who will lead the people out of Iraq and into the green future? Can yo...

Jessie Jackson using the “N” Word?

nobody@vox.com(Alethinos Paradoxos) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:58:32 +0000

What is wrong with everybody? Fox is reporting that Jessie Jackson used the “N” word in that conversation he had on the air thinking he was of the air. The point of his off the air conversation was to say that Senator Obama is talking down to ...

You've got to be kidding! (rant entry # 32)

nobody@vox.com(Crush) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:38:36 +0000

Please tell me this election will not be decided by race. What year is this anyway? When you see Obama, do you see a color? Say what you will about him personally, his politics, his intentions or his career. You can even bad mouth his family if y...

Hipster Racism?

nobody@vox.com(Barry) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:11:45 +0000

I've read several commentaries and a couple FriendFeed threads on the "controversial" New Yorker cover featuring Michelle "Angela Davis" and Barack "Osama Bin Laden" Obama (I won't bore you with a pic, it's everywhere). Try as I might, I can't get...

WHAT IS CHOOSING OBAMA SAYING ABOUT AMERICA?

nobody@vox.com(universalove) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 02:02:25 +0000

As we near election, we are listening to two primary candidates, John McCain and Barrack Obama. I am sure I am not the only one shocked that Obama has made it this far. For me this is a miracle. When think how far the African American man has ...

Voter Secrets Part 2

nobody@vox.com(kathy@brazoscowgirl) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:12:00 +0000

With Kay Bailey Hutchinson for instance, she never came out and said she was pro life. Nope she is a smart politician. She said sentences that made you think she was, but she never actually said she was. Guess what she is not pro-life? Not that th...

Voter Secrets Part 1

nobody@vox.com(kathy@brazoscowgirl) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 11:48:00 +0000

This is a two part post. When I finally wrote what I had to say it was by far too long. I will post part 2 tomorrow. This article when read in it's entirety makes more sense I promise. Consider this a voter education primer. What I am about to te...

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past several months, yinz know it's an election year. I decided a while back I was going to cast my vote for the candidate least likely to continue the disastrous foreign and domestic policies of the...

Obama: The New New Politician

nobody@vox.com(dox^2) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 14:38:57 +0000

So much for Obama being that new hope and a different kind of politician, ehh? Wiretapping orders approved by secret orders under the previous version of the surveillance law were set to begin expiring in August unless Congress acted. Heading in...

Rev. Jesse Jackson apologizes for crude comments about Obama

nobody@vox.com(Alex) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:56:53 +0000

What is wrong in our society today. Why are we so quick to apologize after the media has accidentally caught our heart felt comments. Rev. Jackson is acting like jealous adolescent towards the Obama camp. Even Jackson Jr., his son has confessed to...

Go ahead, guys and gals. Push back from the computer and road trip to tip toe through cow pie and talk FISA with farmers. Pack a lunch because you're going to be doing a whole lot of back plotting there on the back forty. Spend some four buck plus...
