@SarahPalinUSA sends her sympathy
Connecticut First Lady Cathy Malloy broke the law, made the news, complains.
“When people need to make the choice if they want to get into public office or not, they say, wow, do we really want to subject our children to this? Or our wives to this? Or our husbands? It’s a big decision because the media just won’t let up.”

Japan, after a decade of Keynes, decides that the results of the experiment are conclusive.

I saw this from CAPP last night. It impressed. More, please.
Excuse me, Mr. Poilievre
….would you like a really good talking point to further conservative politics? – PSAC.
Today’s Sun News Network Poll:
Following PSAC’s public announcement of support for the PQ, Ottawa MP Pierre Poilievre says he will push for legislation to allow workers to opt out of paying union dues. Would you support such legislation?
Who would have thought the Public Service Alliance of Canada was a part of the vast right-wing conspiracy.

Daily Show Mocks Obama’s ‘Messiah Complex’ at the DNC
Hope! Change! Incompetence!
Fury, hubris, and finally muted; Bob Woodward’s new book isn’t exactly the glowing tribute to Obama that Woodward’s younger peers would write.
I mean, when you get taken to task by a staffer from Harry Reid you just know you’ve hit Richter scale levels of incompetence.

So what the -blank- could possibly go wrong?
From EBD in the comments a hilarious take on Obama care.

Ho-hum
Satire isn’t supposed to be taken seriously.

Now:
“The Democratic National Convention takes its mission to be green so seriously that reporters, delegates and others are being scolded for dumping their garbage in the wrong recycle bins.”

Putting the fun back in politics.
The Republican Party has never done anything like this before, and is showing an ability to adapt both to the new media era and to the Alinskyite “community organizing” tactics of Obama himself. Amidst the fun and fanfare, the counter-conventioneers will push a pointed message, asking Democrats and Americans in general whether they feel they are better off than they were four years ago–a key question in re-election campaigns.

Updated: #Emptychairday is trending in the US. Apparently people are clinging to their guns, Bibles and their digital cameras.

That would be Senator Jon Tester, (D). Have fun Ctrl-F’ing for “Democrat” on his website. Related: “The Obama(-only) campaign”

Circumstantially damning.
Three days? How about four years?
“Yes or no? Are Americans better off today then they were four years ago?”
Shorter Plouffe: “Hemmm, Haw, Urggle.”
Asked about actor/director Clint Eastwood’s attention-grabbing Republican convention speech, Plouffe praised the actor/director’s career work and added, ”the Romney campaign would probably not, three days after their convention, [prefer] still having questions being raised about Clint Eastwood.”
I’m thinking that the Republicans are dealing with the Eastwood’s performance quite well and don’t mind at all the empty chair becoming a meme. In fact, I think they enjoy those questions quite a bit more than the Democrats do about questions regarding the prosperity of Americans.
