— Gabriel Malor Happy Tuesday. It's a bit of a slow news morning. Mostly poll stuff that Ace and CAC already covered.
Romney's VMI speech last night was something to see. I thought it was better than his convention speech.
North Korea says it has missiles that can reach the U.S. mainland. Sorry 'bout that Washington, Oregon.
Hackers killed thousands in World of Warcraft, making for some rather amusing mass die-off videos.
A good method of preventing your political yard signs from being stolen. But see the "plot twist" in the comments.

I did not know we had a gun problem in the US.
I always assumed it was people using gun in an unlawful manner.
Liberal answer to EVERYTHING: Restrict rights of lawful citizens and pass more laws the criminals will ignore.

Massholes have always been intolerant totalitarians. Who knew?
OTOH, the colony established by William Penn allowed more religious freedom, and Georgia was founded as a secular government under the Oglethorpe Plan, so it wasn't all colonies.

By "it" do you mean the pervasive narrative that R Money is somehow "miraculously" pulling away in this election?
They have to start at some point, now seems like as good a time as any.

I'm surprised we haven't seen this already among *cough* the US demographic group who uses food stamps but still has money for weekly nail airbrushing *cough* Or maybe it's already out there but they're just not tweeting it.

Rockmom's assessment of Patriot Act infractions is dead on. Anyone who reports the, ahem, banks receiving said donations to the Fed will be in line for a significant payout. Just spread the accusation wide enough, including press, and the results should proceed nicely. I bet Judicial Watch would looooove to play with this one. If one could get just one piece of mail from this effort, then it's "Katie, Bar The Doors!".

They just didn't want the uber state dictating an official religion. The religious freedom part was that they wanted to practice in the good old way locally and felt that since it was relatively easy to go down the road apiece and set up your own town, it shouldn't be too hard to establish a place to practice your own religion.
Nowadays, if you don't live in the shadow of a mosque, you must be a religious bigot, because the Federal Government tells you so!

Florida Republicans are outraged after a school district allowed a pro-Obama organization to conduct student voter registration drives and deliver speeches to classes – but denied the Romney campaign similar opportunities.
Pasco County Schools confirmed to Fox News that volunteers from Organizing For America were given access to as many as a half dozen high school and middle school campuses.
By any means necessary -- that's their motto.

Liberals are worried that a "normal" law-abiding might succumb to the temptations of the dark side and thus they need to restrict almost every activity that a citizen might engage in, just to be sure. They know that the criminals are already criminals, already have most of them registered to vote D, and believe that the existence of a substantial criminal class empowers the police state.
It is really a consistent world view, if you like that sort of thing!

I hope Romney will not take the traditional path after the election which involves a huge portion of "forgive and forget," leaving gubmint workers at all levels in their jobs to continue shilling for lefty causes. But I'm afraid he'll wimp out as so many Republicans have done before.
Mass investigations and mass firings will be essential if we are ever to purge the horde of destructive, America-hating layabout who make a career out of sucking on the public teat while encouraging new generations to do likewise.

A court ruled on Monday that the payments must be made within a month by nine friends and backers who in 2010 pledged £140,000 to guarantee Assange would abide by bail conditions during a failed legal challenge to extradition proceedings brought by authorities in Sweden, where he faces allegations of rape and sexual assault.
Vaughan Smith, the former British army captain who hosted Assange at his Norfolk home while he was on bail throughout 2011, and had promised to pay £20,000 if Assange skipped bail, was ordered to pay £12,000, while Philip Knightly, a veteran Australian investigative journalist who exposed the British traitor Kim Philby as a Russian spy, was ordered to pay £15,000, £5,000 less than he originally pledged.

PA went R all through the 80s, and if this election resembles the '88 contest between Bush Sr. and the Duke (which I think it will), no reason to expect PA to stay in the D column.

Does anyone think that Obama looking like the fool for the next 28 days is the plan and then he'll steal the election just so he can prove that he is capable of doing anything he wants and get elected even though he's a fuck up, thereby bringing down the moral and welcoming in the socialist utopia they so long for?

I'd go with the former, as neither Stormwind nor Orgrimmar are server names. It would be like listing "the cities of New York and Los Angeles as well as Des Moines, Mike Ditka and others".

"Romney also saw significant gains among women. Last month, women preferred Obama by an astounding 18 points. Now, they are equally split between both candidates at 47 percent apiece. The poll sampled 36 percent Republicans, 31 percent Democrats and 30 percent Independents."
...
/so much for the so-called war on women/
Krauthammer: All Romney had to do was show up without horns on his head to dispel the anti-R myth.
Obama: That wasn't the real Romney at the debate, I'm tellin' ya! Only a figment of the imagination.
Barry's been overdosing on virtual reality all his life. He hasn't a clue. Neither has TOTUS. A brain fried on drugs, illustrated far too painfully for all interests concerned, namely US citizen tax payers.
/Taking the gavel from Pelosi's bitter clinging cold hands didn't reach the mark. Not only does Reid remain leading the Senate majority, but Boehner doesn't represent the interests of the voters who provided Republicans the majority so much as Boehner represents the DNC parallel contingency within the GOP that Pelosi referenced as "shared values". Progressive authoritarian socialism. Good manners don't excuse bad policy, Mr. Boehner. /

"CSI Benghazi"
By Jed Babbin on 10.8.12 @ 6:11AM, The American Spectator
Futile and pointless best describe the FBI investigation of the consulate attack.
We can't know how the war will intrude on the remaining thirty days of the campaign, or even if it will. The third presidential debate, to be held on October 22, will focus on foreign policy. It will take Romney far beyond the issues he has spent his life thinking about. Will he -- can he -- be as prepared on those topics as he was in the first debate? Romney's positions on Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel, Libya and much more will have to be developed and focused between now and that debate. After omitting mention of Afghanistan in his convention speech, Romney said, "Our goal should be to complete a successful transition to Afghan security forces by the end of 2014. We should evaluate conditions on the ground and solicit the best advice of our military commanders." That's internally inconsistent. If we can't complete a "successful transition" in 2014 -- and we can't -- does he believe we need to stay until we can? Is that all he has to say about a war in which 2,000 Americans have died to no apparent purpose?

When signs used wood stakes, I secured mine (after numerous thefts) by screwing an eye hook into the bottom of the stake and looping a piece of heavy wire (think gate hook-gauge) through the eye. Two is better. Then hammered it in so the wires paralleled the stake.
When the thief tried to pull the sign, the wire spread out into the earth, stopping all movement like a fishhook barb, and I like to think he got a dozen or so splinters.
At least my signs stayed put after that.

Yesterday, Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez "won" reelection. Today, the White House is congratulating Venezuela on that outcome.
From the pool report, which details a gaggle held by White House spokesman Jay Carney:
-Carney said US congratulates Venezuelan people on its election, while noting the US has its differences with Chavez.
Really? What differences might Barry have from Hugo?

"A good method of preventing your political yard signs from being stolen."
I could easily see kleptomaniacal Obama supporters (BIRM) stealing such a sign and feeling good about it - the other sign having equated the act with donating to (in their view) a worthy cause. Theft = donation. Sounds liberal to me.
So it looks more like a fund-raising gimmick to me.
