Yeah, oops. Wrong Larry. A button maker, trying to get ahead made up some buttons for the Dem running for senate, Larry LaRocco. He got the name right but pasted the GOP (for Gay Ole Party in this case) Larry Craig. Lucky, nobody ordered them. Dems are laughing it off and Craig is still maintaining looking for gay sex is not the same as being gay.
Can we say collectors item.
Obama Backs Larry Craig? Change We Can’t Believe In! – The Sleuth

My liberal love for Olberman is unceasing and enjoy his random rants. In this one he sums up the primary season in a few short minutes:
And this one is an interesting mashup [via boing-boing]. Obama and Lincoln.

Forgo the obvious problems: a war president with an anti-war president, one filled with rhetoric and the other man of action, and the republican vs. democrat (not really relevant as the parties flip flopped and shallow nonetheless). It is interesting for it is pivotal relationship in race, moral quandaries embroiled in the population and the high minded ideals that have propelled a young, locally popular politician into the national spot-light and hpeflly in a position to realign the countries priorities to things that have made America a better place.
My caveat is that Obama is sounding less the skilled idealist and more the anti-Bush that Democrats want him to be. We still have a few months. We’ll see if he can live up to the comparison.

After Malkin blew her thin topped skull over the scarf of Rachel Ray, what are the right wingers gonna do about this [from rhode's commentary on his post]:
Somehow I think this is just coincidence rather than a strategy by the McCain campaign to reach out to people watching english Al Jazeera (perhaps a more general news buy).
Interesting they use a photo of a younger McCain (I guess to appeal to youth like me watching YouTube)
When you click on the ad, it goes to

so it might be part of a larger ad buy on google
Too bad the left doesn’t have an organized army of screamers commentators like the GOP does, there is enough tit for tat between Obama and McCain to make for a great fireworks show.
I am joining the propaganda machine. Bought stickers. Gonna do it lame and stick it on the car. Give them away. I have several, if you won’t one, drop a comment and I will contact.

Obama/Edwards ’08, originally uploaded by citizensharp.
I would love to see this ticket.
Edwards was the best thing about Kerry’s campaign. If they had let him talk instead, might have one.
And for I get the redistributionist argument, liberal bias junk, I don’t care. They can’t screw it up any more than GW did for the last eight. Carters train wreck didn’t leave much a lasting impression on anything, maybe even paved the way for what was to work under Reagan. I want change, now.
Besides, I have already gone on record as saying I would jump ship and hit the McCain action in lieu of 4 more years of Clinton crappery.
Once again, I would love to see this ticket.
NY Times has a cool endorsement graphic [via informedvoter2008] that interactively shows off who has endorsed who for prez. It covers celeb, politician and newspaper endorsements. There were a few surprises for me and in light of recent events some that might change. I pulled out a couple worth a look see.
[By the way, the niftiness of some of the cool flash stuff showing up on newspapers is really cool and has me reading more stuff. Check out Couch's stuff for the bombing range and such (too bad he ditched the Slantinel Sentinel, hopefully they will continue) for local coolness]
Despite the push from Robin he stills loves his “new York” girl
This one is defintely not one to brag about now.
Lieberman is full of crap. Can’t believe the Elephants still claim his defection as a victory. He stays in office because he brings home the right pork for his neighborhood. But wait, would a jewish politician bring home pork?
This one is a WTF moment. I didn’t know Arlo was still alive. I know 60′s radicals were preaching for government to stayed out of our business but has he really listened to everything Paul wants. He does look a lot like many of the Paulites.
