Fox News.com reports that McCain spokesman, Tucker Bounds responded to an Obama ad.
“We’re going to talk in truthful terms, which they are not in that advertisement,” Bounds said. “We also want to talk in truthful terms about who Barack Obama is. These are important things for voters to know.”
Just curious, is “truthful terms” anything like talking truthfully? Or perhaps even telling the truth? Or does it just means that the terms (i.e. sound bites) will be truthful, but strung together in such a way as to be effective … which is to say, deceptive.
Now this may sound like what Stephen Colbert referred to as truthiness . But it’s not, because truthiness implies that the speaker believes, even if wrongly, that what he or she is saying is true, according to Colbert.
That’s not what the McCain...

In a new series, which I just decided to start today called “Idiocracy Watch,” I plan to chronicle stories that expose the fact that the U.S. of A. is still a nation of stupid people who blend anti-intellectualism with racism to create ignorance and intolerance.
Today’s entry comes via Editor & Publisher , which has, since the election, been tracking stories of hate and bigotry related to our country having somehow elected a black man to the presidency. Here are some l... more

Did you get that? Only 2 percent of all muslims in America voted for John McCain - guess my vote for McCain was just justified once more! This poll is published over at C.A.I.R.’s website, which I refuse to link to here at Holger Awakens, so I will post the entire article at the bottom of this thread. But here’s a bit of the data:

I received this email from the Hillary Clinton campaign on Wednesday:
Dear Amy,
We are living in a very special time in American history, with an election that has redefined the boundaries of possibility and set our nation on a positive path with new leadership.
Things are changing in Washington and we have reason to hope that the next four years will look much different and better than the last eight.
As we look forward to a new era in Washington, there is still one piece of unfinished... more

As a side note, the howobamagotelected.com site I sent you earlier made it to O’Reilly tonight, and apparently, left wing web sites are furious. Â What, that people now know how stupid they are? Â
The Zogby poll actually backs up the results of these interviews as true, that the poll subjects knew more about the negative of the GOP than anything at all about the Dumbocraps. Â Did you hear when... more

In order to develop A Site With No Name (yet) I needed a web hosting service that was more, er, reliable than my former unreliable hosting service.
They were ok at the start. But several times I tried to log in and found a problem, submitted a support ticket and they got back to me saying something like “yes, this is a known problem that we’re working on”, after which the problem was resolved. But then I began to realize, as I looked at log and traffic data tha... more
A few weeks ago I threatened to release my new site. Its first incarnation is now up at doingSomethingGREEN.info . What can you do? You can sign up, and once you have you can take a survey. Woo hoo!
The site really doesn’t have a name yet. All I know is that it will not be “doingSomethingGREEN”. I have a couple of other domain names and maybe next week I’ll ask for feedback on names. For now, it’s a site with no name.
I am building some cool stuff in th... more
