Oh noes! Conservative Super PACs are going to spend $500 million on attack ads, which may turn the race upside down in the stretch. Or so we've heard.

But if all you have is crap to sell, it doesn't matter how high your pile of it is. It's still just crap. Here's a new ad from the "Campaign for American Values PAC", a pro-Romney Super PAC running ads (this one apparently costing over $28,000 to "create" and produce) in swing states.

Remember, this is an effort to help Mr. Romney win:

Rut roh. Trouble in the Deep South, coming out of the world yet again of some of the most anti-gay Republicans in the country. Florida Lieutenant Governor Jennifer Carroll has been accused by a former employee of having had sexual contact, had lived with, and had a traveling affair with a woman who worked in her office (Jennifer Carroll is married). The Miami Herald:

Cole’s motion, filed in response to the state’s efforts to keep some records sealed, portrays a dysfunctional office where Carroll’s aides frequently recorded conversations and the lieutenant governor pushed for a website where fans could follow her. It also says Steve MacNamara, former chief of staff for Gov. Rick Scott, viewed Carroll as a “loose cannon,” in the words of the filing.
But its most sensational anecdote concerns Cole inadvertently walking in on what she believed to be a sexual encounter between Carroll and a female employee.

The New York Times:

After recalculating data, climatologists have declared that Oklahoma last year suffered through the hottest summer ever recorded in the United States.

and from MSNBC:

"I'm from Oklahoma, and when you talk about the summer of 1934, there are a lot of connotations that go with that," said Deke Arndt, chief of the NCDC's climate monitoring branch in Asheville, N.C. "That whole climate episode - the Dust Bowl - that is a point in our state's history that we still look back to as transformative."
Yet the summer of 2011, "was warmer than all those summers that they experienced during the Dust Bowl," Arndt said.

This is a republication of a diary I did a while back. It's not about JFK's death but his life.

Born just after his passing, I have always struggled with trying to understand the man as a regular human being; his iconic status is so overwhelming that his image automatically produces emotions that come in the way of objectivity. While we have all repeatedly seen several more famous snippets of his life (particularly his inaugural address, his speech in Berlin, and the Zapruder tape), I think it is helpful to watch and listen to him in some of the less famous recordings of him, of which I present a small selection below. Hope you enjoy.

I am Mitt Romney's biggest fan because Mitt Romney says what he thinks whether it pleases his audience or not.

I am Mitt Romney's biggest fan because when Mitt Romney stakes out a position, he sticks with it.

I am Mitt Romney's biggest fan because he has an instinctual understanding of what it's like to be a hard-working American trying to support a family.

I am Mitt Romney's biggest fan because the words he uses and the way he speaks from the heart moves me.

Enough already. Recently we witnessed the right wing pivoting in their attacks, after they shut down ACORN, onto their newest target, Planned Parenthood; we watched as the right wing executives of the Komen Foundation attempted to cut off their funding. From the attack on Sandra Fluke to the latest statement by Mitt Romney that he is going to "shut down" Planned Parenthood, to the various state laws now being passed that require women desiring abortions to go through all sorts of humiliating trials and tribulations, the right wing in this country is getting progressively less progressive (to say the least).

Mitt Romney is a douche. He is the most dishonest and least consistent man to ever run for president. He believes in nothing but his own ambition, and has zero passion or commitment to any particular issue. He has a great deal of chutzpah to claim that he has a history of creating jobs. Instead, he has enjoyed a lifetime of sticking it to the worker while signing up for huge bonuses, only to later take his constituents for a ride.

I decided to send those words to the Romney campaign, to tell them how I feel about their asshole candidate.

Don't know if you followed the Santorum shenanigans today. You can read all about it here,but briefly, Alan Colmes went on Fox News and said this:

Colmes claimed Santorum took the baby home, after living for only two hours, and "played with it for a couple of hours so his other children would know that the child was real."

He also intimated that there was something weird about the whole thing (which there was, but then again in the Santorum house perhaps even weirder things happened all the time). Read More

In tonight's debate, Mitt Romney seized on the opportunity to go for the vote of "people who hate drugs". He stated that he never has smoked pot. And he wasn't even asked. He just blurted our "I never inhaled". It was completely out of context. Strange.

I'm getting very tired of hearing how Obama gives in too easily, and needs to be a lot tougher with the GOP. The problem with that is that today's GOP is willing to use tools that only a mad man would use in order to force their policies down our throats. So many decry that the GOP is able to get what they want when it matters; if only Obama were as tough as they are. But have you even considered what kind of threats Obama have would to use in order to match the House GOP? I have.

This is not the usual kind of surprise party. This surprise party is the Republican Party. Surprise!

Surprise! We've decided to completely gut workers' rights.

Surprise! We've have hereby decided to destroy Medicare.

Surprise! This week we're going after Planned Parenthood.

And of course, who could ever forget this one? - Surprise! I'd like to introduce my running mate, Sarah Palin.

This is a follow-on to my diary of yesterday exhorting the community to come up with some good nicknames for the Huckster. The top vote-getters in that poll are presented below, along with the best submitted names.

This is NO JOKE folks (not entirely, at least). George W Bush made it through 8 years of criminality without being impeached. Why? Because half of us called him Chimp and the other half Shrub, and thus divided, he beat us. Are we going to allow that to happen again? Are we? Well?
