The complaint before the British Columbia Human Rights Commission against Mark Steyn and Macleans has been dismissed.

Presidential heights and weights. Presidents tend to be tall.

About the panhandling (i.e. begging) problem in US cities.

Hitch on the US as banana republic.

The ACORN voting registration push is running into some problems-such as 7 year old’s being registered to vote.

Poll finds that 59% of Americans would vote out all members of Congress if they could. At least one Republican rally showed much expressed anger.

There may be a bit of subtext to be read here. Having more fun with Joe Biden’s rather erratic grasp on the truth: Mrs. Palin may not know as much about the world as Mr. Biden does, but at least most of what she knows is true. (Some of us philosophical pedants feel that all of what she knows is true, since if it is not true, no one can know it.) That prominent journalists can sneer at Gov. Palin for being an ignoramus over a correct statement both shows their own ignorance and indicates that things are going a little far.

This Presidential race feels like it was scripted by Aaron Sorkin: in which case, (for those who watched the last season of West Wing) the nuclear power plant well and truly has blown up. Suggesting the Presidential debates have done for Obama what they did for Reagan in 1980.
