The New McCarthyism by ~ davidbdr on deviant ART Since a histrionic article about Barack Obama's childhood friendship with the African-American, Communist? poet and journalist, Frank Marshall Davis [link] appeared on the vile AIM (Accuracy In Media) website, [link] the guilt by association charge of being either a Marxist or socialist has been repeated ad nauseum by the Right-Wing hacks of the blogosphere about Obama. Apparently, Obama is a secret Commie mole working for the Communist Party USA to destroy this shining gem of Democracy into a Red gulag. The whole idea would be laughable if it were not for the fact that a large percentage of the US voting public are simpletons with no grasp of history or the reality of their own country. This BS is only going to become more ridiculous as the Right attempt to scuttle Obama's presidential chances. They really fear his intelligence and masterful oratory skills. I can't wait to see the "debates between Obama and McCain....

I see that whatever problem I was having with images here at Blogger has been corrected. After having spent the time setting up my blog over at my hosted site, I think I will continue using it. I hate the thought of using up my storage allotment for more images but I have come to enjoy using Blogdesk to post with. Microsoft has a new blog writer called " Live Writer " that is very nice, surprisingly but I like the drop shadow Blogdesk creates on images a little better. Live Writer works with Blogger but Blogger doesn't allow for uploading images through a system like this. If you just post text, it is a good idea. I've been noticing that I still have a lot of traffic to this blog but almost nothing at my new one.

Jeb Bush to flee into a subway closet the day before. Bush had ventured into this steel town to try to boost the campaign of Republican Sen. Rick Santorum, whose voting record is 90 percent anti-labor. “Steelworkers aren’t kidding when they say ‘Pittsburgh is a Santorum-free zone,’” said Shea. More than 150 local union volunteers savored the story as they finished their coffee, reviewed their suburban maps and assembled their two-person teams to hit the streets, ready to deliver literature and talk to union voters. The big turnout on a picture-perfect fall day usually filled with football, soc...
