all-encompassingly

National Journal checked the names of 267 individuals appointed or nominated to various senior positions in the Obama administration against the Senate Office of Public Records database of registered lobbyists. The database has records dating back to 1999.
…..
30 individuals, or about 11 percent of the total….were registered to lobby at some point within the past [...]

[This is an unpublished post from the campaign. It really shows how far Obama has tumbled from his invincible status since he was elected. It really brings you down to earth when you see how hard it is to actually run something. It brings you even further down to earth when you are inept at [...]

[Another old post, I could just delete this, but its got a great line describing fans of Keith Olbermann, so its worth publishing.]
In the interview that aired on ABC Thursday night, Charlie Gibson asked Sarah Palin the needlessly imprecise question, “Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?” He might have just as easily asked, “Do [...]

A couple of articles, one in the Washington Post, the other in The Economist, are somewhat bittersweet for me. They show that people are beginning to realize how unprepared and perhaps unqualified Barack Obama is to be president at this critical time. They show that people are wondering why no one is leading in this [...]

May he govern for the next four years as Barack Obama the speech-giver, not as Barack Obama the man (his record, past votes, associations, etc).
In other words, may unicorns begin to poop Skittles on January 20, 2009.
My previous thoughts still apply, of course.

If politely asking for a photo ID suppresses votes, what effect does placing angry dudes holding billy clubs at the entrace to the polling station have on voter turnout?
My tentative hypothesis: It can’t help.

MSNBC is calling Pennsylvania for Obama. This is just on exit polls basically. Not a good sign.
Ditto for Dole’s early called loss in NC.

How do I know?
MSNBC’s “all-star” team of political analysts and Obama blowhards (but I repeat myself) just came on at 5pm…and they haven’t called the election for Obama yet.

fuel and housing will be free. also, there will be peace on earth and all the sick will be healed.
vote obama!

Despite what the Right and Left are saying about the consequences of their guy not winning, I’m optimistic about the future of our country and the world as a whole.
Yes, President Obama would be a serious setback for free markets, would revert to a law enforcement approach in fighting terrorism (that worked well in the [...]

Tito Muñoz vs. Alan Colmes, Barack Obama, liberalism, clientelism, et al.
Hilarious, since he just bulldozes Colmes.
Sad, because what he says is true.

First, the boy who only wanted to study sign mechanics. Ouch [video].
Shawn Turschak of Chapel Hill was tired of someone stealing McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard. Turschak, with a degree in electrical engineering, hooked up a third sign to a power source for an electric pet fence Monday and also put up a [...]

Redistributive Change We Can Believe In™
Bill Dyer over at Hugh Hewitt’s blog on the “recently discovered” audio of Obama talking about redistributive change:
Even back in 2001, Barack Obama was already focused on building a “coalition of power” in the executive and legislative branches that could indeed bring about a national redistribution of wealth which even [...]

This was the narrative that McCain should have been pushing ever since…I dunno…June?
Barack Obama wants to redistribute wealth. This goes wayyyyy beyond “tax cuts for 95% of American workers.”
Duh.
