Does the Person Wear Glasses?

Politics 31 October 2008 | 2 Comments

McCain campaign spokesperson Michael Goldfarb was interviewed by CNN’s Rick Sanchez yesterday with hilarious results. Sanchez was trying to push an “Obama hangs with anti-Semites” narrative by bringing up Obama’s purported relationship with Rashid Khalidi. Khalidi is a Palestinian scholar (and- oddly enough for a man accused of being anti-Semitic- a Semite) and the subject of a [...]

I Heart Eagleburger

Politics 31 October 2008 | 0 Comments

Former Republican Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger has a last name that sounds like a dish served at a sketchy truck stop in the Appalachians- which is enough on its own to earn a small bit of affection from me. But his new found habit of bluntly stating what the American people have known for [...]

Happy Halloween!

Fluff Stuff, Random 31 October 2008 | 0 Comments

I wanted to give a Happy Halloween shout out to our readers from the staff here at Moue. We went all Google and did a holiday themed header. Enjoy your night dressing up like the Joker, a slutty (insert noun) or- as was the case with my 7 year old brother- Bumblebee from the Transformers.

Getting Crowded Under That Bus…

Politics 30 October 2008 | 0 Comments

The McCain/Palin ticket could use some couples therapy:
John McCain’s campaign is looking for a scapegoat. It is looking for someone to blame if McCain loses on Tuesday.
And it has decided on Sarah Palin.
In recent days, a McCain “adviser” told Dana Bash of CNN: “She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone.”
[...]
Also, a “top [...]

Sinking Ship Deserts Rats

Politics 30 October 2008 | 1 Comment

So it’s not exactly news anymore, but I think it bears examination nonetheless: the NRCC performed a little triage last week and pulled their financial backing from the Congressional reelection races of among others, noted nutjobs Michelle Bachmann (MN-06), Tom Feeney (FL-24), Joe Knollenberg (MI-09) and Marilyn Musgrave (CO-04).
It’s not as if all of these [...]

Dole Out the Crazy

Politics 30 October 2008 | 0 Comments

Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.) is running in a tight race against Democrat Kay Hagan. Attack ads aren’t surprising finds in any political battle, let alone one that is contentious. But Sen. Dole took a giant leap into Crazy Town by creating an ad alleging that Hagan is an atheist that ends with a Hagan impersonator saying [...]

Indie Retailer of the Day: The Frantic Meercat

Art, Indie Retailers, Paper Goods 30 October 2008 | 1 Comment

I’m a little nervous writing about this paperie, because I can’t remember where I heard of them.  If I stole the original idea from one of Brandy’s Indie Retailer posts, please forgive me.  The Frantic Meercat makes absolutely charming pastiches of vintage text, images and sentiments.  Some remind me of the Anne Taintor line, but [...]

I haven’t had a chance to watch this yet. I was visiting a relative in the hospital when it originally aired and have been really busy since. But I hear it’s good!

McPalin Mob Tenses in Miami

Politics 30 October 2008 | 0 Comments

The guys from Five Thirty Eight have been on a road trip for these last few weeks of the election season, bringing readers the story from the ground. They attended John McCain’s rally in Miami (held at Everglades Lumber) and witnessed the kind of hate-filled aggression that has become typical of the McPalin Mob: 
After the [...]

’08’s Katherine Harris? The Homeless

Politics 29 October 2008 | 0 Comments

Barack Obama’s chances of winning the election are strong enough that Republicans have been scurrying about for the past week preparing their resumes, pointing fingers and making up excuses that can be used after McCain’s loss to explain why it wasn’t really his (or the party’s) fault. 
The most recent excuse- formulated by NRO’s Lisa Schiffren- could [...]
