Carney: Obama planned his Louisiana visit before Romney announced his. For those not old enough to know this, a habit the old Soviet-era apparatchiks had was that no matter what one brought up – electric lights, television, cars – they would counter with “We invented it first!” We note that without comment, readers can draw their own conclusions.

The condensed liberal handbook of Racial Code Words. The sign’s not actually it but it will serve if you don’t have time to read the article. Michelle’s version includes words like “Chicago” and “golf.” So what does one say if President Failure Teleprompter is playing golf in Chicago? We’d suggest “attending a fundraiser in Joliet” but those will certainly soon be racial code words as well, eh?

Al Gore calls for an end to the Electoral College. When the Democraps think they’re losing, they call for rule changes that favor them. We’d like to suggest an end to dead people voting. Shove that up your carbon emitter, Al.

“Of course we all know Biden is the intellect of the Democratic party. Kind of a grin with a body behind it.” Clint Eastwood put on a skit using a prop of an empty chair and teleprompter to ask an invisible President Obama “a couple of questions.” If Clint had brought along an empty suit, it woulda been just like Obama was there in person.

Matthews to Rice: You meant to go after birthers with your speech, huh? Priceless. Chris Tingles asks Rice a stupid question about “birthers” – she totally ignores it and responds to an intelligent question he didn’t ask. [Video at the link.]

Fired Yahoo bureau chief: Sorry for my inappropriate “joke.” Yep, the fellow who said Romney “would be happy to party with black people drowning” is now apologizing for making a “joke”… or was he apologizing for being a joke? Whatever.

Democracy Corps – James Carville & Stan Greenberg’s polling outfit – has Romney up 16 points with independents. “If Carville and Greenberg have it right (and many other polls show Romney way up with Indies), it can mean only one thing: Democrats are being oversampled [in most MSM polls], and grossly.” As another bunch of political street circus performers once said, “Hide the decline.”

Hillary Clinton plans to be out of the country during DNC. Attending talks in the Cook Islands, China, and the Russian city of Vladivostok. When you know a stinkbomb is about to go off, it’s best to get as far away as possible. Too bad the Space Shuttle has been retired, eh?

MSNBC “proves” GOP is raaaaacist by cutting every minority speaker from RNC speech coverage. Bunch of white MSDNC guys cut away when black people speak… isn’t that racist?

Artur Davis speaks for the disillusioned. ““Maybe we should have known that night in Denver that things that begin with plywood Greek columns and artificial smoke typically don’t end well.” Yeah, but welcome back to reality.

School: Teacher helped students cheat because they’re “dumb as hell.” “…math teacher Shayla Smith was accused of offering students the answers to a test they were taking at the time. She had reportedly been responsible for supervising them while the tests were being completed.” BTW, she was caught because she was overheard telling another teacher about giving kids the answers.

Jerry Brown, Democrats reach deal on public pension overhaul. By “overhaul” they mean “kick the can down the road a little further” – the Moonbeamers have taken the courageous route of cutting benefits and raising costs to future retirees. Yeah, that’ll work… until a future legislature and governor start feeling the pressure to alter the deal. That light at the end of the tunnel is a bullet train to nowhere.

Unilever sees “return to poverty” in Europe. Unilever is a global consumer products company which owns brands like Skippy and Hellmans. Due to the perpetual fiscal soap opera in the Eurozone, the company has had to adopt product strategies it uses in the third world in order to do business there. Hey, this same smart Euro-thinking is what Barack the First wishes to bestow on his subjects here. All eleventy hundred million of them.

Obama: I don’t think anyone would suggest I’ve tried to divide the country. He’s wright, no one’s suggesting that, they’re saying it flat out.

Joe Biden’s greatest(?) hits! Selecting personnel does not appear to be Obama’s strong suit. Then again, it isn’t immediately obvious Obama even has a strong suit.

DHS sex scandal widens; ICE chief goes on leave. “DHS has gone from angrily denying that it has a sex scandal, to putting government workers on ‘voluntary’ leave.” What is the DHS been up to? Allegedly, this: “’She then looked at his crotch and asked, ‘How long is it anyway?’ according to the affidavit.” Good thing a GOP president isn’t in office or our esteemed MSM journ0lists would have permanently stained every pair of underwear they own over this by now.

Did the Southern Poverty Law Center incite today’s shooting at the Family Research Council? “A security guard at the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C., was shot in the arm by a gunman who sources said expressed disagreement with the conservative group’s policy positions.” “In November 2010, it [the FRC] was designated a ‘hate group’ by the Southern Poverty Law Center.” Well, it’s not “hate” if you hate someone that the self-styled hate police designate as a “hate group”, right?

Ryan Speaks in Colorado. “…he spoke about Natural Law and the origin of rights to a campaign crowd, and they got it. In fact, along with his discussion of energy independence, it was one of the two high points of the event. I can’t remember when I’ve seen a candidate address a mass audience at such a high level and pull it off. But he did.” He musta promised them free cheese, too, right?

Cal State U: Hey, we can’t afford to accept grad students from California! “Budget cuts made the system… unable to afford residents’ heavily discounted education… But nonresident students, who pay considerably higher fees, remain welcome, at least at some campuses…” Socialism: everything’s free but the shelves are always empty. Eleventy!

Owner complains Obama’s beer tent stop cost him $25,000. We’re at the point where if we could only limit the havoc wrought by the Light-drinker on each of us to $25K per head, that would be an improvement.

Biden tells Virginians “With you, we can win North Carolina.” The video caption says he was speaking at “The Institute for Advanced Learning and Research.” We surmise devising ways for Virginians to help Obama win North Carolina is one of the advanced research topics they’re working on.

Detroit store offers students new pair of NIKEs for showing up at school. The store will “…give away a free pair of black leather Nikes to every student who comes to class on Oct. 3, the day when students are counted and their numbers used as the basis for per-pupil funding from the state and federal government.” But the culture is not dysfunctional or anything.

Obama: “Chicago is an example of what makes this country great.” Mmmm, like high taxes, looming bankruptcy and crappy machine politics that spawn empty-suit pseudo-god politicians? Great.

Axelrod: Priorities ad doesn’t blame Romney for woman’s death. “’I don’t think anybody, anybody believes.. that Gov. Romney can be blamed for the death of Mr. Soptic’s wife,’ Axelrod said Sunday. ‘And, frankly, I don’t think the ad says that either,’ he added.” Hey, Obama killed the Delphi workers’ pensions and some of them probably died afterwards… but we’re not blaming him for those deaths, either.

First lady: Obama’s “not Spider-Man.” “Barack can’t do it alone,” she said, according to a White House transcript. “He’s not Spider-Man. He’s not a superhero; he’s a human.” Well, he is venomous so we could see how folks might be mislead into thinking he’s spider-like.
