If you're concerned about choice, don't jump the Democratic ship

Obama supporters have been developing strategies for appealing to ardent Clinton supporters to not jump the Democratic ship after the strident primary season that led to Obama's nomination. Most, and I would be pressed to say all, Clinton supporters are pro-choice and therein, perhaps, lies our best argument. In John McCain, they will find no safe harbor. For the best discussion I've seen to date on this issue, head over to The Carpetbagger Report and check out Why pro-choice Dems have nothing to like about John McCain. And if reproductive choice is of any import to you, use your vote in November wisely.

Bigotry On John McCain's Website: Hillary Clinton A "Bitch; Obama A "Muslim Fag"

AMERICAblog's John Aravosis uncovers major bigotry over at John McCain's website, including references to Senator Hillary Clinton as a "bitch", Senator Barack Obama as a "Muslim Fag" and America bringing 9/11 on itself.

Plus, the JedReport shows that other John McCain forums have Obama referred to using the "N" word.

This is not who we want representing America as President. Because John McCain and his staff allow this on their websites, you have to believe they agree with it.

Apple WWDC 08: iPhone SDK, OS X iPhone 2.0, iPhone 3G y MobileMe

Well, less than one year -- well, ok, a few months -- after I paid $400 cash for my iPhone, Apple and Steve Jobs announce the release of a new iPhone 3G that's faster and at half the price!

So what do I do with my current iPhone? Can I do a trade? And Mobile Me sounds promising as a way to make things easier in the mobile space.

Bill O'Reilly Producer Porter Barry Ambushes PBS Bill Moyers Then Gets Ambushed



During the 2008 National Conference for Media Reform, Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly producer, Porter Barry ambushes PBS Bill Moyers to pepper him with questions regarding his political affiliations and his "refusal" to appear on O'Reily's show. Moyers disputes Fox's "facts."

In the process of the discussion, journalists surround Barry, then give him the same ambush treatment he gave to Bill Moyers.

As the video made by "The UpTake" will show, Barry can't take it when it's aimed at him. Also, I personally don't like Bill's "Jump The Shark" methods of late. It's obvious they need the ratings help. This stunt will not improve things.
