Politics and Culture

Here's a nice ad. I don't know what constituency they hope to sway. They do realize that older Americans vote more, right? And, where's the connection? The ideas?

This isn't part of some grand strategy. I just think a couple of wins would ease her descent into insanity.

Personally, I'm not inspired by people who talk to me about inspiration just like I don't respect people because they discuss respect. On the other hand, one knows that Obama would move the country leftward and if you like that, he's your guy. That's how most people think. Only a small percentage of the population will look at a person with whom they agree and decide for somebody they don't based on "experience."

I saw it first here.

A radio talk show host uncovered the story and I heard it on Michael Medved today. Apparently, Barack Obama during many of his rallies, in a variation of Groundhog Day (or James Brown), has a woman faint, asks for help, and then offers her a water bottle. Kind of amazing, isn't it? I'm sure if somebody asked him and Barack Obama were honest, he'd say: "Yeah, chicks dig it."

The problem for Hillary Clinton is that she did the same thing.

(Fairness doctrine: Giuliani staged phony phone calls from his wife. [I'm glad I don't have to vote for him.])

One can see why he's so charismatic in the video below. "Can we fake it? Yes, we...:"

Can you imagine McCain doing that?

Godfather did it much better (Himself instead of a damsel and a cape instead of a bottle of water). Only the first part is relevant, but the rest is fascinating in and of itself. I love his "be a gentleman" exhortation and Bill Cosby-like corrections:
