A totally biased and unreasonable list of blogs that I think you might enjoy reading.
Unlike many conservative pundits and commentators, I seem to have been absent the day they passed out Obama’s magic mind-meld helmet, so I don’t really know for certain what actions he’s going to take and what the focus of the new administration will be. What I do know is that on the campaign trail a [...]

From the one “newspaper” i actually get in print, The Onion (oh the irony).
Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are
After all, if you can’t laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at?
Barack Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has passed away. My deepest condolences to Senator Obama and his family. I can only imagine the horrible storm of emotions he must be going through, losing the grandmother who helped raise him the day …
GOP endorsements for the Obama-Biden ticket keep coming in, and I expect will continue to do so down to the wire. Earlier this week we had former Senator Larry Pressler (R-SD) who was “the first Vietnam veteran to serve in the United States Senat…
Your neighbors are voting. You’re not. That could be a problem.

Looks like Obama’s primetime network roadblock tomorrow night won’t be complete (ABC will still air its normal programming), but that still leaves NBC, CBS, and Fox airing his 30 minute ad/speech at 8 PM.
ABC Jumps Too Late On Obama’s…
For those not keeping up on their viral video, a couple of new ones have been making the rounds in the last couple days. But hey, it’s just more liberal, communist, hollywood types endorsing Obama, right?
Just to correct the record:
Police: Campaign Volunteer Lied, Injured Self
Politico has an interesting article up in which it notes the findings of recent Pew study showing the media coverage of McCain over the last six weeks or so was mostly negative. Obama’s coverage on the other hand was slightly positive in total. They also analyze the coverage of the VP candidates, noting Biden’s coverage [...]

Well, many folks predicted it, but now it’s official. Not too surprising, since Powell’s foreign policy recommendations and stances are pretty much in sync with Obama’s.

WSJ has some details.

In case you somehow missed it, here’s Rep Bachmann (R-MN) in her oscar-worthy performance as Sen Joe McCarthy:
We start with the now well-worn Anti-American by association card, then move to expanding the associations. Matthews decides to call her bluff, figuring she’ll back down and look like the shill she’s playing the role of. But no, [...]
It looks like there may be a new argument being weather ballooned by the McCain campaign, namely that having the same party in control of both the Legislative and Executive branches of government may not be the best thing for the country. Johnathan Mar…

A wide ranging collection of individuals has put together a petition to Senators McCain and Obama requesting a change to the format of the final debate. The group is calling itself the Open Debate Coalition. Their requests including allowing for more m…
As most of you know, the report of the Alaskan special investigator on TrooperGate was released yesterday. And although it concluded that Palin acted within her “constitutional and statutory authority” in firing her safety commissioner Walt…
McCain and his campaign have gone on overdrive in the last couple days, pulling out all the stops on a scorched earth campaign, and doing their best to convince the public that Obama is some sort of terrorist by association. Fortunately the public does…
Though many of you may have seen this elsewhere, i’ll bring it up here for those who don’t venture far off the VA conservative blogosphere (other than coming here of course).
At a rally in Leesburg yesterday, Joe McCain referred to Arlingto…
At the barber shop I frequent, there is an elderly gentleman there named Ray. Ray is probably in his mid 80’s and has been deaf for quite some time. As a result of this and maybe other factors, Ray’s speech is difficult to understand. When …
As expected, the Senate passed the bailout bill. Final tally - 74 to 25. The 74 were 40 Dems, 33 Reps, and Lieberman.
On an amusing note, one of those voting against what has been called the Socialist Bailout was the one bona fide Socialist in the Sen…
Most of the news we are getting about the negotiations in DC is from the press statements made by the major players. What happens behind closed doors has been pretty invisible, especially once McCain and Obama arrived. That’s what makes this repo…
