Is it True About Obama?

In a word, no.

Good rundown of the current smear campaigns against Barack Obama.

Review: The Black Castle

My review of the Black Castle for Netflix

Not really horror so much as a gothic adventure, this is a beautifully filmed but pedestrian tale of intrigue, with the hero going undercover to investigate a remote castle from which some people never seem to return. It's "classy," but too stiff and restrained for me, lacking the oomph that make the older Universal horror flicks so much fun. Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney, Jr. are brought in as supporting characters to give it street cred. Karloff, as he often does, plays for sympathy, though you're never really sure quite what he's up to. Chaney, in decline, plays a mute servant, but I can't get his image out of my head. The rich, black & white photography of his weathered features is the most memorable part of the movie for me.

Once Again, no comment is necessary.

What Obama Said Then...

...Is one reason I support him now.

Lieberman has McCain's Bearings

"I just want to report that this morning I personally checked John McCain’s bearings."

-Joe Lieberman

Wow, Lieberman has McCain's bearings and his balls!

Republicans are MEAN SOBs

By now, you've probably heard of the href="http://themoderatevoice.com/politics/primaries/indiana/19436/and-you-thought-sister-mary-ignatius-was-strict-not-allowed-to-vote-in-indiana-the-nuns-story/">elderly
nuns who were not allowed to vote.

Most people think this says something bad about the system.

Not so over at Newsbusters.

Ken
Shepherd href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-shepherd/2008/05/06/media-misreport-nun-voter-id-story">took
it apart well:

1) The sisters were not denied the vote because they were offered provisional ballots, which they declined.

2) It's unlikely their votes would have effected the outcome, so they really didn't need their voting rights anyway.

3)
And even if they made out provisional ballots, "Simply put, provisional
voters in most cases have little incentive and are under no obligation
to show up to verify their ID after the election.

Conclusion: The system works!

BTW, as even Kevin
noted, dutifully quoted in his article, "They weren't given provisional
ballots because it would be impossible to get them to a motor vehicle
branch and back in the 10-day time frame allotted by the law, Sister
McGuire said. "You have to remember that some of these ladies don't
walk well. They're in wheelchairs or on walkers or electric carts."

The nuns are in their 80s and 90s. The oldest is 98.
