Joe Biden on Fire: "The Silence Was Deafening"

OUR NEXT Vice President slams the Republican convention.

The Lies of Sarah Palin (and John McCain)

THE LIES just kept coming during the Republican Convention….

Below are some of the lies told by Sarah Palin

Sidenote: Palin didn’t write the speech….it was prepared for her by Republican handlers.

Lie/Distortion #1: She claimed to be an advocate for Special needs children and presented the McCain/Palin Ticket as shepards for the Health of children.

Fact: Palin eliminated funds for teenaged mothers in her State. And as for McCain… he voted against expanding Schip to millions of American children. Remember the 12 year old boy who Republicans attacked last year? Here’s a link to refresh your memory.

A great compilation of her lies CAN BE FOUND HERE.

Just spread the truth. One voter at a time.

Community Organizing

Roland Martin, a CNN political analyst who also writes a blog for Essence, was livid after Palin's attack against community organizers last night. Watch:



He followed this up with a post that pays tribute to the important work of community organizers, which includes links to many other articles about community organizers.

And a DailyKos diarist has a beautiful photo tribute to community organizers past and present.

And A Child Shall Lead Them...

RISE UP and vote.

Slideshow: Celebrities

I SAW many more celebrities and TV personalities throughout the week, but these were the few kind enough to stop for photos.

I Have A Question

OKAY. So. Here goes. Sarah Palin is the second candidate this season, both of whom happen to be women, whose resume was padded with lies about her foreign policy experience in an attempt to make her more appealing to the electorate.

So exactly who are the affirmative action candidates in this race?

Obama on Gustav: "Quiet Storms"

Enough Said

HER BODY LANGUAGE at the end is priceless. And most revealing.

These two are cut from the same cloth: two lying frauds totally in it for themselves with no regard for their families or the American people.

To vote for them is to commit suicide.

Slideshow: Our Leaders

ONE OF THE great things about attending national convention is that you get to see all sorts of government officials and leaders that you normally only see on television. These are the ones I got to take pictures of.

(You can click on the slideshow at anytime to go to the photo album that includes the pictures and download them for yourself if you wish.)

Gustav

THE HURRICANE has been downgraded to a Category 2. That's good news and in any potential disaster, we'll take whatever good news we can get. It also appears that New Orleans will be spared this time around. No matter where Gustav hits the Gulf Coast,here's praying that no more human lives are lost in this storm.
