Yes, it is real. :( And the sad fact is that they honestly believe (and may well be right) that it will be effective at convincing people to vote against Obama. I'm hoping that smart independent voters like yov will see stuff like this (and the deceptive McCain ads and campaign statements) and rejec...

The latest legal battle is over how Attorney General Jerry Brown (the former Gov. Moonbeam is trying to position himself for a return to the statehouse) has decided to word the proposition on the ballot. As it now stands, California's November ballot will introduce Proposition 8 with these words: &q...

It's no secret that I'm pretty disappointed with how negative the McCain campaign is getting, particularly with their recent ad claiming that Obama cancelled his visit to the military hospital in Germany because he was told that he couldn't bring photographers with him (which is just plain false). B...

Padme, I agree. For some reason there something that is just a little bit off about it to me. Let me clarify that when I said I like Tolkien's version best, I don't mean that I would like it best as part of an adaptation of LOTR. It clearly is not meant to be a rendition of the Lay by Sam in the con...

Just posting to add the observation that once Tolkien decided to add the character of Sam Gamgee, the scene in which he is caught eavedropping and Gandalf decided that he should go with Bingo/Frodo was incorporated into the text almost word for word with the final version. I think that is very inter...

Teremia, I absolutely love your observation about Sam's comment about climbing to the moon! Its difficult to tell at what point that comment was added (Sam, of course, wasn't even present in the first version), but I very much doubt that the reference is accidental. But I've never noticed it in that...
