She'll be playing with the Anger Management puppets, likely attempting to stir some sort of puppet race war.

Thanks to Maetenloch.

You may have noticed I sucked this week. I've hit a wall. (At just the right time.)

Worth the click, even if you're not a space geek.

Helen Jones-Kelley just began a search into whether Encedalus is current on alimony payments. It's a "well-meaning" search.

Thanks to Dave @ Garfield Ridge.

The "shocker" in the headline is literal. The guy got sick of miscreants stealing his sign so he juiced it up with electricity.

The kids' father says the little scamp just grabbed it to "see how it was put together."

It's a sign. It's a stick with a fucking piece of cardboard stapled to it.

But this curious little Future Engineers of America Chapter President wanted to see how this gizmo called a "sign" worked.

That's the Obama Effect -- children taking great interest in educating themselves. Look at this budding young Nicolai Tesla, so curious about the complex aeronautics of a yard-sign.

Now that's he's figured out the inner workings of the staple, he's moving on fulfill Barack Obama's campaign pledge of building a car that runs on love.

Thanks to jenjis.

Vid: Here. You get to see the kid get shocked.

Yup, he does seem interested in seeing how the sign is put together -- he's already disassembled it. I'm sure he was going to tinker with it, to make it more aerodynamic. And maybe add a hemi, and perhaps a flash drive.

The kid conducted himself admirably, I think.

No big deal, really. Democratic lawyers, and the Democratic prosecutors in Ohio, advise us that Ohio law is "confusing" on the point that one can only vote in a state if one actually lives in that state.

Democratic lawyers tell us so. Ohio prosecutors refuse to file charges. Because the law, you see, is so hopelessly arcane on the point of "only residents can vote."

It's just a cock-up, honestly.

Congressman John Hall (D-Dover Plains) fired one of his long-time campaign advisers Tuesday, after learning that sheÂ’s embroiled in voter fraud investigations in Ohio. Amy Little, 49, has been a registered Democrat in New York since 1991, and Ulster County election officials said she voted in the party primary here in February.

But in October, Little registered to vote in Ohio.

I blame The System.

What other conclusion can one draw when Obama's lawyers and Democratic advisers cannot understand a law that says only residents are permitted to vote?

It's sad that our laws are so baffling that even Obama's lawyers can't comprehend them, and send out their GOTV workers to sign up illegally to vote.

Credit: Those troublemakers at Palestra broke the story.

As they stepped into the public spotlight, they can expect Helen Jones-Kelley to conduct "well-meaning" investigations on them.

I like how these pointy-headed snot-nosed college kids think it's so damn easy to figure out where one lives.

Fox: McCain gains five.

Generic Democratic preference halved from 8 to 4.

It's winnable. Sign up for GOTV and phone banking.

By the way, does anyone know how to download YouTube videos? My Big Idea for GOTV canvassers to tote around laptops with key videos downloaded -- Barney Frank and the Democrats "rolling the dice" on subsidized housing, "What Happened," Let Freedom Ring's supbrime ad, and of course Obama's redistributive justice interview.

My idea is that you can tell people this all you want -- but video is proof.

If someone can download these for me, I can then upload them to my servers, so canvassers can then download them on to their laptops and bring the information out to the low-information voters you'll be talking to.

I'm trying to get the McCain camp officially onboard with this so that most of their canvassers do this, but they don't really listen to me much. Fingers crossed on this one.

Okay... F. is going to rip and upload these.

Apart from the ones I've mentioned, what else do you think should be on someone's laptop? Bear in mind people will only have about ten or fifteen minutes to make the sale, so these have to be very-high impact vids -- and short.

Zamzar.com seems to convert files. I'll see about doing some tonight.

Thanks.

The Chicago Way.

Link Problems: I've checked the link, and it seems to be the right one, but it doesn't seem to work. Go to Hillbuzz and scan down for "Here's the Third Punch."

And yet when mousepad mujahadin pondered endorsing McCain, it was huge news.

When an actual leader declares Al Qaeda's official endorsement? Not so much, not so much.

Just as an aside, this coverage was even worse than just that. When Al Qaeda effectively endorsed Kerry in 2004, the media went into spin mode claiming they were really endorsing Bush -- they were trying to trick us, you see, by endorsing Kerry, thus causing a flood of voters to Bush, who was really the president they wanted.

But when one JPEG Jihadi said he might want McCain as president? Did we hear anything about this double-secret probation trick-the-voters reverse-endorsement theory?

Of course not.

The second ship in the Navy's new class of destroyers will carry the name of Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient Michael Monsoor.

“Michael Monsoor’s name will now be linked with one of our nation’s most visible examples of military power — a U.S. Navy warship,” (Secretary of the Navy Donald) Winter said in the address prepared for a Navy SEAL Warrior Fund dinner.

The Michael Monsoor will be the second DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class advanced destroyer. Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding is expected to begin construction of the ship next year at its Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss., with delivery projected to take place in 2014.

Master-at-Arms 2nd Class (SEAL) Michael Monsoor is one of two sailors awarded the Medal of Honor since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began. The first, Lt. Michael Murphy, is the namesake of DDG 112, now under construction at General Dynamics Bath Iron Works of Bath, Maine, and is expected to be delivered in 2011.

It's another small payment against a debt we can never fully repay.

Here's my original post on the day Monsor's family accepted the Medal of Honor on his behalf. Take a moment and see how this extraordinary man gave his life to save his fellow SEALS.
