    What in the hell is going on over at Fauxnews? Are they being infiltrated by the liberal media? First, Juan Williams saying Ann Romney is a "Corporate Wife" who doesn't understand the problems of real people and now this?

    When you click on the link the title is "Ryan's speech in 3 words" and the picture at the very top of the article is the first thi g you see after reading the title and it's a picture of a banner at the convention that reads "we can change it"!

    Sweet Jesus I was hoping that it was some dolt writing a pro Ryan article based on that banner.

    Damnit.

    By hey, at less they stole Obamas clever messaging technique ala "change".

    Just like white people. Stealing good cultural ideas since, well, forever I guess!

    Here is the unconventional peak oil theorist and shaman/wizard guy's take on the election and what it means about the legitimacy of our political apparatus.

    From the FOX op-ed:

    At the end of his speech, Ryan quoted his dad, who used to say to him, “"Son. You have a choice: You can be part of the problem, or you can be part of the solution."

    I did not know that his father was Eldridge Cleaver. Interesting.

    TAMPA, Fla. — In a speech heavy on anecdotal history but short on policy details, Mitt Romney avoided major falsehoods in making his case to the American public while accepting the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention.

    Even a key Democratic strategist, Bill Burton, a former press secretary for President Obama, tweeted shortly after the speech ended: “Romney actually avoided almost all of the lies from Ryan’s speech.” That was a reference to Rep. Paul Ryan’s address the night before, which we found to contain a number of false and misleading claims.

    In Romney’s case, we found a few bits of exaggeration and puffery. He exaggerated the loss in family income that has occurred under Obama, for example, including 13 months of losses that actually occurred before the president took office. And he made a back-handed accusation that Obama has raised taxes on middle-class taxpayers, when in fact the president has lobbied for and signed several temporary reductions.

    The Assassination of Clint Eastwood by the Coward Mitt Romney
    Is there anyone this campaign won’t sell out?

    The Mitt Romney campaign had two things to convey about the candidate at the Republican convention: his steadfast likability as a human being, and his hyper-competence as an executive. Whatever progress they made on either front was gone by Friday afternoon, as aides tried to spin away the halting, awkward endorsement-cum-comedy sketch Clint Eastwood had delivered on Romney's behalf.

    The campaign had expected "a more standard endorsement," the New York Times reported, citing two anonymous aides. “Aides said Mr. Eastwood does not like teleprompters and was trusted to deliver an on-message endorsement,” the story continued. This was not the campaign’s fault, no sir.

    “Not me,” said an exasperated-looking senior adviser, when asked who was responsible for Mr. Eastwood’s speech.
