First things first - This is something that I wasn't sure I would post, but ultimately decided to let my (millions of) readers decide for themselves. This is the "How Obama Got Elected" video by John Ziegler. On the surface, it's sour grapes, pure and simple. But I think it's interesting and worth a watch for entertainment value (for conservatives) and also as a commentary on just how much impact the media has on everyday people. Of course, not everyone is this uninformed, and this video implies that all Obama voters were - which is not at all the case. But read this to see the numbers from the Zogby poll which was conducted in conjunction with this video, and also read this to see how he refuted the criticism he has received. Their commentary on this video is far better than anything I can muster - just keep in mind, I've not posted this to mock Obama voters. Again, I see it as proof of the media's bias.
Now, I'm not the hugest Romney fan (I'm down to about 185 now), but I have to say that I agree with him on the auto bailout. Here he is on MSNBC talking about it.
Now, I'm certainly no expert on this, but it seems pretty obvious to me that just about everyone who is for this new bailout is talking about it as what it is - another short-term band-aid. With a government-aided bankruptcy, the auto industry could restructure the way it has needed to for years, and find a way to be profitable and competitive again. Plus, allowing them to go through this (admittedly very painful) restructuring keeps free market, capitalistic ideals in place and refrains from truly opening the bail-out floodgates.
And finally, some lighter fare - do yourself a favor and check out these headshots (plus descriptions). Really funny stuff. I found this over on Filmdrunk.com. If you've never been, go there. Here's a taste.
