Anyone who has seen the photos of Obama's speech is left wondering - how in the world do CNN and MSNBC keep guestimating the numbers at 'around 100,000'?

It looks like a heck of a lot more than that to me.

So I did a quick Google search for articles about Obama's speech in German newspapers... and guess what?

In 2003 WWII Veteran Terrell Dotson owed CA $546 in taxes and lost his condo.

That was four tax years ago. They auctioned it off without notifying him.

John and Cindy McCain didn't pay their taxes in California about that same time.
... and again the following year.
... and again the following year.
... and again the following year.

Then they get to send a check and be done with it? I think we need to contact Terrell and have him tell his story, don't you?

"I am a Democrat"

Hilary Rosen graciously voices her disapproval of Hillary Clinton claiming sole dominion over the votes of 18 million people.

In her blog over at the Huffington Post she voices her pride in Clinton's run, and her disappointment in her speech last night.

I am proud of her, and I can't help but feel that there are likely many other Democrats who feel this way. Her blog is so important right now. It is healing, and very much needed today so we can all move on.

My cash is low, The math is bad
I've lost the best donors I had.

Debates give me free airtime now
with great aplomb, I make this vow

I will debate you in a car
I will debate you at a bar

I will debate you in the fall
I will debate you at the mall

I will debate you on the stump
I will debate you at the pump

Lincon-style if you admire
Even under sniper fire,

Bowling, flag pin, Hands on heart,
Reverand Wright, its ala carte!

I will debate you by a brook,
I will debate you while we cook

I will debate you here or there,
I will debate you anywhere

I will debate you, please say yes,
I'm desperate, I must confess.

Barack, oh please debate with me,
So I can get my free TV...

The story below is not mine. I read it here.

But it has remained on my mind as I think about this election today. It is the story of a volunteer, doing what she could to make sure everyone who wanted to vote for Barack was able to. I can't help but compare this tale, one that has probably been repeated dozens of times this primary cycle, with the stories I remember of the forgotten in the poorer neighborhoods in New Orleans after Katrina.

Barack Obama and Yael flooded that Section 8 housing area with Hope. The tone of daily life, people's mistrust of each other was altered, at least for a day. But that one day - that bit of dropped veil - can show people how much they have in common, how good it feels to work with people unlike you towards a common goal. That day can bring another, and another.

It brings tears to my eyes every time I re-read it, even a day later.

I just thought it was so beautiful I had to share.

I remember clearly, the day after Senator Clinton spoke of how "proud" she was to share the dais with Senator Obama, how things changed.

She was "angry" and "upset" at an Obama mailer and her wrath was mighty, "Shame on you, Barack Obama" she cried. (at least she didn't add Hussein to his name.)

Well today, the tables were turned, and for the first time, Senator Obama directly attacked Senator Clinton (not her campaign), comparing her to Annie Oakley and tossing her own words back to her.

As much as I used to love, and happily spin for the Big Dog, and as much as I want Obama to put this thing away as quickly as possible, I can't help but wonder about Bill's blunders lately.

"Next, We'll See Him Run an Ad Saying: Vote For Me, I Don't Steal Cars."
Bill in Indiana yesterday

Wha??? Really, Bill - you are not helping your wife, we all know that by now, but the question is Why don't you stop?

Its getting really odd out there...

Twice today, I have clicked through a blurb to the "rest of the story" and been all WTF?

Yes, its Friday, but happy hour didn't begin at 10:00am did it? Tell me if you think these fall into the "I'll distort, you comply" mindset for you.

Senator Clinton suggested yesterday, that she would have left the Church of Rev. Wright the minute she heard anything controversial. Because apparently, she is so high-minded that her righteous indignation would have lifted her out of the pew on its own, and carried her out the doors of the church.

"You can't choose your family, but you can choose your Pastor." She said.

Which would fairly call into questions choices that she has made and how she has reacted to controversial speakers.

One example of each after the jump:

Remember the Republican Party? Those elephants in the room?

Well, it seems like they've got some interesting stuff in the news, too. A few things y'all might find interesting. They could just be sitting back, watching us rip our party apart, but instead choose to join the party!

Some fun reading after the jump.

Kiss Me, I'm Irish! Or better yet, kiss that nice Irish boy, O'bama!

Donate any amount with and extra .17 attached to show your love for Barach O'bama. After the week our great candidate has had, your love will feel all the sweeter. Another top fundraising month will turn his opponents green with envy.

So please, give if you can.

If you can't, its doesn't cost a thing to write the NYTimes to force a retraction of Bill Kristol's shoddy "journalism."

Tired of being dogged by the media on this issue, Senator Clinton's campaign has released the following timeline on TaxReturnGate.

In a statement that preceded the release, the Presidential hopeful requested that the inquisitive media finally stop pestering her and her supporters with questions regarding what she might be trying to hide in these documents.
