“groovy mother...”

There is nothing I do not love about this photo — not least the look on Youk’s face!

Barack Obama recorded an audiobook of Dreams of My Father, which means he says the words of the people in his life. Including Ray, who swore. Which means we have an MP3 of our president saying “You ain’t my bitch, nigga.”

This? Is awesome.

A scorecard for tracking President Obama’s campaign promises. A great idea.

“Yes”

Some really outstanding photos of Barack Obama and the hubbub surrounding him in the lead-up to him winning the party nomination.

All manner of interesting statistics and visualizations drawn out of the presidential debate transcripts.

“30 graphic designers create 30 posters and give you their 30 reasons to vote for Barack Obama on November 4th.”

Another focused attack site funded by the Obama campaign. I wonder how the return-on-investment compares between these and running 30 second commercials.

Another “attack” site from the Obama campaign. Wish there was a bit more hyperlinkage for sources.

The Obama campaign aren’t resting on their current lead in the polls. This shows promise that they intend to keep fighting all the way to election day.

Origin unknown.

“Years from now presidential historians will look back on Sept. 9 as the day the 2008 campaign got completely and utterly stupid.” I felt massively depressed on Wednesday, as the pig/lipstick and kiddie-sex-ed trains swiftboated on.

Some fascinating details on Rupert Murdoch swinging towards supporting Barack Obama. Murdoch has long been my favourite evil media tycoon — I may hate his right-wing propoganda arms, but I admire the smarts with which he’s conducted his businesses.

“Barack Obama will cut taxes for over 95% of American families.”

“Barack Obama travels a lot, but many babies live in places he hasn’t been. Send him your baby, and he’ll kiss it and send it back to you.”

Makes me smile every time I look at it.

Most gloriously offensive Onion headline in a while? Perhaps.

“The path to a more perfect union […] requires all Americans to realize that your dreams do not have to come at the expense of my dreams; that investing in the health, welfare, and education of black and brown and white children will ultimately help all of America prosper.”

The Obama campaign responds to a Clinton press release in a format which highly resembles a snarky follow-up on USENET.
