actually, they might and they might be pissed that the Chosen One is bumping their big game. I hope so.

It would be kind of funny if Sarah or John attended that game. It wouldnt cost anything. After Comrade Obama’s speech on Fox they could show John macking out with the regular Joes and getting all kind of free press during the game.

 

So, is anybody watching the infomercial?

Nope.

Waiting for Game 5 to resume.

CBS, NBC, and Fox carried the infomercial, right?

What happened to ABC? You would think ABC would get better treatment than Fox, right?

but that would’ve been priceless.

I was surprised to hear earlier that Selig was claiming the broadcast was NOT delaying the start of the (resumptive, yes I know not a word by play on words) game. He means to tell me that any game started today was always going to be after 20:30EST? Tomorrow nights is 20:00EST!

Guess we know what side Selig comes down on this Election.

Someone trying to sell a cooking set? The new pots and pans will cause the food to stink and the complimentary knife set will be too dull to carve the fat off the pork. It will just leave a big mess in the kitchen. No Thanks. The other problem with this bill of goods there is no money back guarantee. Or any money back at all for that matter!

 

I watched it.

FrequencyModulation Wednesday, October 29th at 7:55PM EDT (link)

Honestly, I’m not sure they got their money’s worth. They stayed boringly, predictably “on-message,” hitting themes they’ve already hit a jillion times over the course of the convention and subsequent campaigning… and I’m dubious that anyone not already voting for O’Biden would be swayed by overly emotional acoustic guitar music.

Please tell me someone got a screen shot at the end of Obama onstage and Biden bowing towards him with his hands clasped like he is praying to Obama. It would make a great picture to send around since it looks like Biden was praying to Obama. It was only on for a split second.

Chromodynamic Wednesday, October 29th at 8:32PM EDT (link)

Instead, I decided to review the equations for the transition amplitude of an initial electron state with four-momentum p and spin projection s and formal characterizations of its momentum p’ and spin s’ according to first-order perturbation theory, which you can review on page 24, here.

It seemed uniquely apropos. Spin, momentum and perturbation theory are all essential qualities of Barack Obama’s candidacy, albeit transliterated into political terms, which means virtually nothing. So why would I choose to spend my time watching rehashes of his campaign on TV when I can just ponder the math?

ABC had a change of heart, but by the time it decided to make the 8 p.m. EDT Wednesday slot available for the Democratic presidential candidate’s spot, his campaign had already finalized the ad buy, the people said.

First he rips off Karl Marx, then FDR’s call for a 2nd Bill of Rights and now McCain’s RNC speech, which isn’t even 2 months old. I guess if Dear Leader is ripping off McCain’s speech, that must mean it was purty effective.

Hammer2008 Wednesday, October 29th at 9:42PM EDT (link)

I got home from Wednesday night faith formation with my daughter a little after 8 p.m. and purposely waited to click on the TV for the World Series.

To my pleasant surprise John McCain’s latest anti-Obama truthfilled ad was right there up front airing. Nice.


My PA mother-in-law is visiting us. Yesterday I had worked her over back to the “undecided” camp. She and my beloved wife came home at 9 p.m. and she was quick to ask, “Did you watch Barack Obama?”

I said, “No, I was trying to save electricity.” ;o)

Sadly, she has spoken to her husband back in PA today, and she’s back to leaning Obama because they both feel it’s time that they pay more taxes (they’re in that 5%) so that they don’t leave more debt to their children and grandchildren.

I had to contain myself, but simply left her with a “Well, if that’s your choice. It’s just one of alleged lower taxes, $1.3 trillion more in spending and a 25% cut on our nation’s defense.”

I am baffled by this all of the sudden “guilt” to pay more. I should tell her as she leaves back for PA that if she really wanted to help pay down the national debt, why not start sending extra thousands NOW to the IRS..?

Stand Up or Sit Down

Apocalyptic Wednesday, October 29th at 9:42PM EDT (link)

I’m trying to get this out to everyone I can (my apologies if it has been posted here before). This commentary by Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr. (four degrees from Harvard, including a J.D.) is the most logical, comprehensive, and chilling I’ve read on the decision of Judge Surrick regarding the certificate of live birth issue. He outlines eight constitutional consequences of what would happen if Obama does not produce the requested evidence of his natural-born status, and it is not a pretty picture at all. For instance, if it is true that he is not a natural-born citizen, does not produce the evidence, and is elected on Nov. 4, Congress could pass no laws. Furthermore, Obama could not be impeached, since he was not legally the president. Armed forces would potentially have to arrest him, which could lead to civil war.

The easiest link to the article entitled “Obama Must Stand Up Now or Sit Down” by Dr. Vieira is at the following site:

Obama had a laser focus on working class Americans who have traditionally been suspicious of him.

He hit on jobs, education and healthcare.

And made the case that he comes from a similar background.

He struck many “conservative” “values” chords.

It will work well for him - I expect he will get a few day bounce off of it.

I was at class. We were discussing computational approaches to dealing with NP-Complete problems. The concrete example we focused on was calculating maximal independent set in a given graph. We worked through the straight forward naive algorithm which unfortunately is very inefficient, O(n2*2^n), as well as slightly better recursive algorithm which was a bit more efficient at O(1.62^n). The discussion might have been a bit dry and esoteric to outsiders, but to me it was far more interesting than hearing The One. Strangely enough, the discussion of exponential runtimes and their impact on the size of the problems that can be practically solved with computers reminded me of how exponentially rising taxes and government spending will the affect overall prosperity in our republic.

Smearing the Wealth Out

kowalski Wednesday, October 29th at 9:55PM EDT (link)

Now, when Barack’s up there on the stump talking about Hope and Change, he doesn’t engage too much in what Cass Sunstein calls “law professor speak” and well, that’s just because if he actually did talk honestly about law professor speak it would make people’s heads spin.

When he goes on WBEZ in Chicago and talks to Gretchen Helfritch, though, he does talk “law professor speak” and that’s because he’s talking to law professors who know exactly what he means about wealth redistribution.

He doesn’t have all the equations down yet for how he’s going to smear out wealth in this country — heck, even his running mate can’t keep the figures straight, so many are bouncing around — but don’t worry:

Barack has a lot of friends who can do the math the way he wants it to turn out, and those are the people who talk all day long in “law professor speak” and try to figure out who is wealthy and who isn’t.

There will be a whole BOOK about it published by the end of his first term, if he’s elected, and it will be annotated with footnotes and endnotes and everything. Paul Krugman, who is now a Nobel laureate in economics, might be one of the co-authors. Lord knows Krugman knows how to do the kind of math Barack’s talking about.

Thanks for your concern, Moby. nt

Sarah drew a huge crowd tonight in Southern Indiana…I can’t add much to what we already know about Sarah Palin, but after seeing the disdain on the faces of all the local media figures in attendance, it is clear that she brings an incredible amount of energy to the conservative base that the left can only dream of.

I love how he can make promises about

Michael Dugas Wednesday, October 29th at 10:13PM EDT (link)

things that aren’t really under his purview. That’s not to say that it won’t be tremendously easier with a liberal congress but in these propaganda pieces of his he gives himself powers that aren’t the Presidents.
I hope that on November 4th, my birthday and wedding anniversary, that I am pleasantly surprised by my country’s voting populace. That’s the HOPE I have, that and that my country doesn’t fall for that socialist CHANGE.

Intro to Federalist Papers; section 5;
paragraph 4.
“…dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the zeal for a firm and efficient government.”

I’m an embarrassment to Barack!

I only scored 17 on the Obama Test

And then when an Obama commercial came on I had to listen to my three year old son say (with great pride, thanks to my father-in-law) “Nobama! John McCain!”

Did he really say that?

walter_hanson Wednesday, October 29th at 10:47PM EDT (link)

I didn’t watch it because I was on the internet checking out my favorite websites like Red State.

But I’m sitting down listening to the radio and at a half hour break they played a clip from Obama’s commercial.

Did he really say after he won’t be a perfect President that “Americans will know where he stands!”

Excuse me, but he has spent like the last five months trying to hide what he thinks to try to win this election.

Or was I dreaming?

I really can’t help but feel sorry for you people. Your bitterness and resentment towards someone who truly wants to help you and me get this country back on it’s feet again is overwhelming.

Rush???

Why listen to this blowhard? Can’t you think for yourself?

They just want to help you too.

I’ve got some Enron stock around here somewhere that I’d like to unload bless you with.

You send me what I tell you to and then I’ll send you the stock. It’ll help you get back on your feet.

Trust me. I only want to help you.

100th comment... do I win anything?

JLenardDetroit Thursday, October 30th at 12:09AM EDT (link)

Obama was just “spreading the wealth” of his contributors donations to the Networks that have been covering his (and foot-in-mouth Biden’s) hind-side in news-coverage and doing more to get him elected than he could ever do on his own.

Also, I keep hearing the Obambam apologists trying to downplay the World Series time, as the game on that date was always going to start at 20:30… Yes, because the time from 20:00-20:30EST was bought and paid for long ago and going to be carried by FOX (regular Network affiliates) at that time. So, baseball ACCOMODATED for the Network coverage (YOU THINK THEY’D SAY NO AND PASS ON THE NETWORK REVENUE?!?!?), oh please. So, the Game, whatever Game, whether it be resuming Game 5 as it was or whether it had been Game 6 from Tampa Bay, it was going to start at 20:30 - BUT ONLY BECAUSE THE TIME WAS DICTATED BY NETWORK CHANGES, the other Games were at 20:00 EST. Subsequent Game times were all 20:00, look in your TV guide!!! For a group that says it wants to talk about the “ISSUES” they continue with the DISTRACTION POLITICS. Regardless of the WS time, it is a good fun line that is not substantive, yet they (Dem spokespeople) harp on it - Distort, distract, and cover for the Socialist in Centrist clothing.

Since they’ve been downplaying the Economy since long before it became the self-fulfilling prophecy into collapse, they should be SHARING MORE OF THAT CA$H!!

  1. What a crippled economy is going to do to you, her daughter, and step grandchildren. 2. Explain that there is no point in paying more in taxes when it all goes to welfare pay outs- none of it goes to paying down the nation al debt. 3. What America needs now is a government that will try to reduce spending, and the best hope for that at the moment is a divided government.

Post tv Obamathon: McCain's humor showing through, good job John

JLenardDetroit Thursday, October 30th at 1:05AM EDT (link)

AC360 has put on a few McCain comments at rally in FL following the Obamathon… one was that if you bought the Obama you get a FREE Wealth Spreader that fits conveniently under any Bed…

Wonderful job John… Making the points/jabs in jest like this is the best way to get through. Negative (in a sense) but delivered in a fun/positive way. I heard a few more lines (he had several) but I don’t recall them. Hope a Video becomes avail… HINT, HINT, FL FRIENDS!!!!

you do know you can send an extra check with your Tax Return, right?? Make payable to Bureau Of The Public Debt and send in with your Tax Return to reduce the Federal Debt.

Oh wait.. you’re no doubt expecting the other way around… Some of the increased Federal Debt he’ll run up to be a Welfare check.

I don't think McCain was mentioned ..

Prodigals Thursday, October 30th at 2:45AM EDT (link)

.. by name. It wasn’t really appropriate for the tone of the ad, though.

It showed a white family being squeezed
by faultering economics, a black couple squeezed in their retirement by medical
expenses, a hispanic mother and her family working hard to make ends meet, and another
white couple that were third generation Ford plant workers being squeezed by layoffs
and work slowdowns.

Each of vignettes was intercut with a shot of BO talking about what he was
going to do that would help. You can see it on the small screen here. Don’t crash the site by rushing there all at once :-)

You could see where was going with it.
I think it was meant to counter the often heard argument that “Obama doesn’t know who I
am”.

Ah, as Ross Perot said, there's that giant sucking sound!

Keep thinking, Joe ...

StudentOfLincoln Thursday, October 30th at 8:28AM EDT (link)

Joe24pack, you are on the right track in thinking about complexity. Now you ought to ask yourself, in an unregulated free market, what is the complexity class of finding a market-efficient investment strategy?

In our modern era of financial derivatives, it is NP-hard for an ordinary person to understand the complexity of (unregulated) free markets.

The result has been the market meltdown that is dominating this election.

When free markets become NP-hard to understand, the conservative moral foundation for believing in free markets is lost.

That is why conservative economists must “learn and adapt” (in Gen. Petraeus’ famous phrase) to modern economic realities.

Because a market that is technically free, but is too complicated for ordinary citizens to understand, has lost its foundation in conservative moral principles.

And the Republican Party must address these fundamental moral issues, or else, lose the support of all thoughtful conservatives.

We had our United Way appeal at work today

dwarfmama Thursday, October 30th at 11:30AM EDT (link)

I was struck by the similarities between the United Way video and the Obamamercial.

“This is Gertie. She’s really struggling. We need to help her!”

I think the man missed his calling.
