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.

Tom Feeney tops himself in sending out campaign materials on the government dime this year at $188,744. And considering we are only five months into the year he is looking to top almost $377,000. [I only counted 10 months as the election in November will probably mean that he doesn't really need to notify his constituents about "important issues" such as campaign slogans"]. Last year he cut it short at $164,000.
But he also has the nerve to claim that he is saving us from pork. I also love the irony that it is an anti-earmark earmark. Just pony up and actual propose a real bill, campaign on that. Not more earmarks. Besides, what has been his track record in working/voting/speaking against the GOP earmarks for the years prior to being in a tough campaign. It seems they have been the big spenders that has gotten us into the mess.
Scott Maxwell [OG article here] makes the point that this should a an interesting campaign. Especially if Tommy-Boy keeps mailing out the material to his opponent [Suzanne Kosmas]
After a long weekend and deep thought I have decided I have been wrong and am now voting Republican regardless. I think this video, while not mine, best conveys my feelings:
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.
