I was driving home from work when I saw something that made me smile; a Prius in front of me had a "Drill here, Drill now" sticker.

Kharn, did you look to see if it was just some Obaminist slut's way of being oh-so-clever?

What an awesome ad.
I don't know why the GOP and otehr orgs are restraining themselves... perhaps they are waiting until late October.
Go in for the kill. Obama has so many questionable associations, it isn't even funny.

McCain was a prisoner and he has a siege mentality. He doesn’t see a balanced portrait of cause and effect – there’s something missing in the man, mentally."

It's kind of sad seeing someone I knew and whose intellect I respected become an Obama zombie.

"Anonymous at October 3, 2008 2:42 PM"
You bring up several points that I have to answer:
1} I didn't see who was driving, because...
2} ...as I said, the car was in front of me.
3} There were no political stickers (Except the one I mentioned) to indicate a political affiliation.
AND
4} Does that "slut" remark mean you are trying to be a "clever" troll?

Some women hate Palin because she's pretty
Some polls are suggesting that after gaining an initial bump, McCain's campaign is being hobbled by Sarah Palin's vice-presidential candidacy. The voters who are deserting her fastest, some of whom are even calling on her to withdraw, are mostly women.
Ah, women, the consistently, tragically underestimated constituency. What the Democrats learned during the primaries and the Republicans might now be finding out the hard way, I learned at my very academic, well-regarded all-girls high school: that is never to discount the ability of women to open a robust, committed, well-thought-out vat of hatred for another girl.
Here's why Palin doesn't make the grade:
1. She's too pretty. This is very bad news. At school, pretty girls tend to be liked only by other pretty girls. The rest of us, whose looks hover somewhere around underwhelming, resent them and whisper archly of their "unearned attention." So, if everyone calls your candidate "hot," you're in a whole mess of trouble. If the Pakistani head-of-state more or less hits on her, well, yes, she'll get a sympathy vote, but we're in Dukakis-in-the-tank territory. It's an admiration vaporizer. (Of course a candidate can't be too ugly, or it will scare the men, who are clearly shallow as a gender.)

Gloves are off: Palin calls out Obama's relationship to Ayers
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Saturday accused Democrat Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists" because of his association with a former 1960s radical, stepping up the campaign's effort to portray Obama as unacceptable to American voters.
Palin's reference was to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. Its members took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol, during the tumultuous Vietnam War era four decades ago. Obama, who was a child when the group was active, served on a charity board with Ayers several years ago and has denounced his radical views and activities.
The Republican campaign, falling behind Obama in polls, plans to make attacks on Obama's character a centerpiece of presidential candidate John McCain's message with a month remaining before Election Day.
Palin told a group of donors at a private airport, "Our opponent ... is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." She also said, "This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America."
Palin, Alaska's governor, said that donors on a greeting line had encouraged her and McCain to get tougher on Obama. She said an aide then advised her, "Sarah, the gloves are off, the heels are on, go get to them."
The escalated effort to attack Obama's character dovetails with TV ads by outside groups questioning Obama's ties to Ayers, convicted former Obama fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko and Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Palin cited a New York Times story published Saturday that detailed Obama's relationship with Ayers. In an interview with CBS News earlier in the week, Palin didn't name any newspapers or magazines that had shaped her view of the world.
Summing up its findings, the Times wrote: "A review of records of the schools project and interviews with a dozen people who know both men, suggest that Mr. Obama, 47, has played down his contacts with Mr. Ayers, 63. But the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called 'somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.'"

Media, old meme: Palin is so friekin' stupid she can't even speak
Media, new meme: Now that she's speaking, every word she says is racially-tinged Black-hating filth unworthy of McCain, which he will eventually apologize for

AP says Palin's linking Obama to Ayers is racist
The Associated Press has now officially jumped aboard the Obama bus. In a seemingly ridiculous proposition, they claim that Sarah Palin talking about Obama ?palling around? with his terrorist buddy Bill Ayers is the equivalent to making a racist comment about Obama. Really.
Analysis: Palin?s words carry racial tinge
And though she may have scored a political hit each time, her attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret.
Racially tinged? Perhaps no one bothered to tell this misguided writer, Douglass K. Daniel, that Ayers is white. And what?s with the author?s first name? Does he really want all the world to know he is an ass?
Here is how this nutcase makes his convoluted charge.
Palin?s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee ?palling around? with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn?t see their America?

ATLAS BROKE THE STORY ON ILLEGAL OBAMA CONTRIBUTIONS. All of our hard work pays off. Finally, the RNC has stepped out of its self induced coma and is taking some action.
Newsweak has it here - cites all my work, doesn't cite Atlas Exclusive (typical big media pigs). And the got it wrong. Isikoff is taking plagiarizing lessons from Biden. The Newsweek article includes statement by the Obama campaign that they returned all the money from Palestinian brothers. The records show they did not. Also, they do not point out that they sent the tee shirts to GAZA. The brothers had them and sold them.

I have been out of the market and am recently unemployed--the job I just got laid off I took before there even was online job sites. People have recommended the following sites to me: http://www.CareerBuilder, http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com, Dice and http://www.Hound.com. So far I definetely like http://www.EmploymentCrossing the best because it has the most jobs by far but it also costs $30.00 a month. Also, I am a little concerned about privacy: Is it ok to post your resume online? I have done this with CareerBuilder and I trust this company because I have seen a ton of their ads. Any other suggestions for good sources to post your resume on and job boards to use?
