“… in the early days like with the clinging-to-guns stuff,” said O’Keefe, referring to an incident at a San Francisco fundraiser in which candidate Obama said small-town Americans “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.”
O’Keefe said he also expected the ruse would be unmasked when Obama said that “under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket,” and again when Obama claimed, “I’ve now been in 57 (U.S.) states,” with “one left to go.”
“We modeled the 57-states gaffe on Dan Quayle’s ‘potatoe’ mistake,” said O’Keefe, referring to a 1992 incident at a Trenton, N.J., elementary school in which then-Vice President Dan Quayle added an “e” to “potato.” “We figured Obama would become a national laughingstock like Quayle, (but we) underestimated the tendency of the press and the public to forgive mistakes by people they like.”

Just a reminder for all the nerds, misfits, losers, math students and fans of Big Bang Theory – you’ll want to have the right atire and at 1:59 tomorrow be ready to mark the occasion of Pi Day.
I’m not sure what one does on such an occasion, but apparently it is not to be missed.

one hasn’t seen the Mickster actually make a clever point since his effort at risorgimento. The sad thing is that before his return he did seem to have “principles” of an intellectual sort. Now he has none. He’s degraded himself in a most pitiful fashion. Earlier at Daimnation! (link city alert!):

Move over, global warming….

The continents rest on massive tectonic plates. Until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the mid 18th century, these plates were fixed in place and immobile. However, drilling for oil and mining for minerals has cut these plates loose from their primordial moorings and left them to drift aimlessly. “The potential for damage is truly catastrophic,” said Hans Brinker, a spokesman for the International Panel on Continental Drift (IPCD). “The continents are adrift due to the ruthless capitalist exploitation of the environment for profit. Unless immediate steps are taken to halt all oil and mineral extraction, we can expect a massive surge in earthquakes and volcanos by next Tuesday.” The representative seemed close to tears during his announcement, a clear indicator of the severity of the threat.

This widening of the Atlantic is taking place at an astounding rate, according to indisputable IPCD scientific data. Today it costs almost a third again as much to fly an Air France jet from New York to Paris than it did in 1997, a clear indicator that the ocean has indeed increased in size in the past decade. Surface shipping rates have likewise increased dramatically.
