Absolutely obnoxious; he really is a vile piece of work, and a perfect example of the toxicity that’s been endemic in the Bush administration. Speaking of which, this Matt Yglesias post about Bush is about as good a reflection as you’ll find in the next two months.

These people don’t deserve Barack…

This is just sad. What astounding ignorance. There are still some decent McCain supporters, but more and more his campaign is coming to resemble an angry mob straight out of Hicksville, USA. These people are a disgrace to themselves and their country.

Oliver Stone’s biopic of the US president isn’t being released here until the 7th of November. That’s really annoying, and very bad business too, since Irish interest in US politics will have sagged considerably by that date. Still, I can’t wait for it.

… I really miss Tim Russert right now, don’t you? She’d almost certainly never appear on it, but seeing Palin flail about on Russert’s MTP would have been pretty damn amusing.

The Economist’s Global Electoral College
Posted on September 25, 2008 - Filed Under American Politics, New Media, Obama | 2 Comments
Here’s another great new media project from The Economist. As the name suggests, it’s a global poll of support for candidates in the US presidential election, but based on the rather archaic electoral college system that still structures US elections. Thus, every country’s vote is weighted according to population, giving a total of 9,875 electoral [...]

Dear Ireland, We’re sorry, but full episodes of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report are not available. In the words of a good friend of mine, what a load of cock.

(For those not following the presidential race too closely, the McCain camp has spent the last week throwing tons of muck and telling outright lies about Obama, with the result that many on the left are getting quite wound up and demanding that Barack counter-punch in a big way. However, other, generally more considered voices [...]

Sarah Palin doesn’t have a clue what’s she talking about in this interview with Charlie Gibson. The Daily Show on small town values at the Republican National Convention. Finally, and I never thought I’d say this, but right on, Matt Damon!

Oh, and it was quite a surprise to get back home, turn on the television and discover we’ve apparently won the war in Iraq! Yeah, some woman from Alaska said so – apparently that troop surge was all we needed! That’s good news, because I was starting to think all the shame and embarrassment I’ve [...]
