This morning, at the University of Kentucky not far away from the library and the VA hospital, students and faculty found an effigy of Barack Obama hanging from a tree. And I mean literally, rope-noose kind of ‘hanging’.

No videos of the news-stories yet, but I expect I’ll find some by tomorrow.

More below the fold.

Saw this in Ohio while I’m staying with my grandmother.

Get it while you can!

This is a short post, mainly because I don’t have a lot of time today, unfortunately.

Today, I received a printed e-mail from my grandmother, who lives in Ohio and is closely monitoring this presidential race. She’s well into her golden-years, but she has a sharp mind and an even sharper tongue. Fortunately, even though she was raised a Democrat (but NOT a liberal), she considers herself ‘Unaffiliated’ and is enthusiastically voting for McCain/Palin.

But I digress.

This e-mail is sent from ObamaCrimes, which appears to be a press-release from Philip J. Berg concerning his case. This announcement was sent out on Tuesday, 21 October 2008 at 11:05 (and I’m assuming that’s AM), and it claims that Obama and the DNC admit (due to “Failure to timely respond to Requests for Admissions) to all allegations in his federal lawsuit: Berg v. Obama. Apparently this means that all questions have been “Admitted” as true–such as “I was born in Kenya” and other such things.

However, my problem is that I’ve seen claims that the case has been dismissed outright, or is still sitting on the judge’s desk. Or the various other possibilities running around the Internet, for that matter. I’m afraid I’m just a veteran, not a lawyer.

Can someone clarify for me just what’s going on here, please?

I admit, this is my first post here and I’m quite nervous. I’ve lurked around here ever since Palin was nominated as McCain’s VP, and I guess you could say I finally worked up the nerve to actually sign up.

I am proud to say that I am a Republican Kentuckian who has kept a close watch on the races and polls–but especially for our Senator race. So far, I’ve heard that Bruce Lunsford and Mitch McConnell are in a statistical dead-heat, the votes pretty evenly split. However, though this is quite possibly the greatest challenge McConnell has faced in a long while in his political career… does this necessarily mean that McConnell is in real trouble?

I’m honestly not so sure.
