An image of time to think about at I turn a quarter of a century old

I turn 25 tomorrow.
A quarter of a century! Dostoevsky was a celebrated novelist by 24. Alexander the Great "liberated" Egypt by age 24. Einstein was working on gravitational theory while being a full professor.
Well, hopefully that's the end of my "quarter life crisis," rant. Really not much of a crisis, just a wistful contemplation.
Peace,
Chris

Obama's economic plan

I know some people like to claim all Obama does is "talk about change" and that he doesn't have any plans or ideas how to enact change, but that simply isn't true. First off actually read his plans (not just the economic ones I've linked to above) and also if you have time read his book, "The Audacity of Hope." I did this summer and have to say it was really good, especially his chapter on the Constitution, which makes sense as he did the whole teaching constitutional law thing before he became a Senator. In his book he outlines not so much specific policies, though he does get into that some, but the background and philosophy by which he comes to policy positions. His methods are thoughtful and fairly moderate, the thrust of the book is finding common ground amongst all Americans and expanding those places of commonality in such a way that policies can be achieved.

Obama vs. Palin and McCain in cartoon form

Obama vs. McCain
Obama vs. Palin Yeah, more than a little crass... And childish.
I wonder what instrument Biden would be playing? Somehow a jug makes sense to me.

Obama news: The money is coming from new people

Attacks on McCain/Palin

Palin lied about visiting Iraq.
Their ads lied about sex ed. Obama's bill was about "good touch bad touch" not how to touch one another.
He's got more lobbyists in his campaign than my mom has shoes.
Either Palin and McCain disagree or they are flip flopping on stem cell research.

Obama news: 66 million in a month

Attacks on McCain/Palin

One serious:

And one funny:

Obama news: He's going to win says Bill Clinton

"I predict that Sen. Obama will win and win handily,"

Attacks on McCain/Palin

And he lies about Factcheck.org too.

Interesting politics the other side of the pond

Long short Brown isn't doing so well, might have to call an election.
