3 a.m. Response

Larry David has a suggestion for the Obama campaign on how to respond to what seems to be becoming the defining ad of this Presidential race - Hillary's 3 a.m. call. Though Clinton's commercial may have been effective in last week's primaries, given the large number of spoofs I doubt if it will be a positive in the long run. And as Larry David's column suggests, it could come back to bite her if she makes it to the general election.

Patawad Po Talaga

Brooke White is your next American Idol. Of course she's gorgeous, but until the last two weeks she seemed like just another fluffy pop singer. If she is really involved with the selection and arrangements of her songs then she deserves to win. But could it all be a manufactured conspiracy crafting the anointed one's image, making the ordinary sound original to stand out from the rest of the field? Ramiele was certainly not up to snuff last week, it jerked her out of the sure thing cafe like Obama losing Texas and Ohio. This week was so much better, yet she keeps appearing in less than flattering outfits. The AI wardrobe department must be in on the conspiracy.

The Lemmings Turn

The new narrative being picked up by pundits, columnists, and satirists is that a substantial number of voters could be turned off by the creepy cult of personality growing around Obama. This is where a weblog^* is suppose to provide links to corroborating examples, but the chorus is loud and repetitive enough without my contribution. Besides, I cannot imagine a future without Barack Obama as President. I've got my cyanide kool-aid ready just in case.

Twisted Obama

My parents are even older than me and live in a world of Foxified information. Before Barack Obama entered the presidential race, they were very impressed with him as a person. I haven't heard them speak about Obama for over a year - their political discussions tend to escalate into hysterical rants against Hillary - so I wonder how that impression has since been twisted by Murdoch's minions.
