“I refuse to be lectured on national security by people who are responsible for the most disastrous set of foreign policy decisions in the recent history of the United States. The other side likes to use 9/11 as a political bludgeon. Well, let’s talk about 9/11.

If someone, anyone, had spoken like this when Congress bent over and gave the administration everything they wanted, maybe we’d actually be fixing some crap around here and getting the hell out of Iraq. And bravo to Senator Obama for not taking that BS 9/11 crap from some pandering Bushie.

I just HAVE to make this.

Grab your copy today, but not yet (8am EDT) and get a great browser and be part of the world record attempt by clicking on the logo below.

Update: The official launch is 10am Pacific (1pm Eastern).

I won’t even try to summarize this, just go read the BoingBoing post or the Talking Points Memo post.

The Old World Bakery in AA has Ann Arbor-style cheesecakes. What, pray tell, are these things? As always, we check the font of all knowledge, Wikipedia:

Ann Arbor-style cheesecake Old World Bakery in Ann Arbor, Michigan, features a graham cracker crust which covers both the bottom and the 8 cm (3 inch) high side of the cheesecake. The lighter and creamier texture, which comes from a cream cheese and sour cream base, exhibits Ann Arbor’s famous air of superiority. [cite]

One rally and 5% of a state’s registered votes turned out for it. 75,000 people came out to see Barak Obama at one event.

According to CNN, WV cast 337,045 votes in the Democratic primary spread between the two candidate. The rally attendees in Oregon represent 22.3% of cast votes in the WV primary. And Oregon has 52 delegates at stake, almost twice as many as West Virgina.

There’s still a glimmer of hope that the ignorant won’t decide this next election. Fingers crossed.
