Why does Sen. Obama need a vacation?

The [S]enator suggested this week that most of his focus would be on his wife, children and grandmother, who he has not seen in 19 months.

“Those little girls need love, as does Michelle I think,” Obama told reporters. “So we are going to take the time.”

Kawaii!

Call me crazy

But is this article pimping John Kerry for Vice President? I could think of worse choices.

Hey, everyone! It's homophobic platypus!

Via The Field:

Is this true?

I've never heard this before:

Obama didn’t even tell Harvard Law School that he was black on his application.

Maybe it was in his book? It seems very Obama-esque.

Deep Thought

I distrust anyone who quotes Shelby Steele.

I bet Hilzoy

She at least has a 5% chance of being female, sadly I'm only at 2%. Here are my results from this cool site that uses your browsing history to determine your gender:

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 2%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 98%

More good news for John McCain!

Obama maintains a five-point lead he had in June (right after he clenched the nomination). People like him better! People trust him more!
