‘Starred Politics Posts’ Post

By , October 3, 2008 9:53 pm

Wanted to share some posts I’ve found interesting among (or, perhaps, amongst) the blogs I read regularly.

First, some politics. (Sorry, gotta get ‘em out of the way.)

  • Over at Feministe, the had a post about a nifty site that has presidential campaign commercials dating back to 1952. Some very interesting commercials, many of which are horribly creepy…
  • The Bilerico Project compares Palin to Pygmalion, noting “The talent of a George Bernard Shaw or the magic of Hollywood can turn a Cockney flower girl into a lady, depending upon the talent of the actress in the role, but there isn’t time enough to turn Sarah Palin into a serious candidate for the highest office in the country. Not believably, anyway.”
  • Graphjam has a helpful chart on who benefits from the $700 billion bailout. (Hint: It’s not you!)
  • A number of blogs noted Sarah Silverman’s new movement, The Great Schelp, encouraging Jews to get their lazy Florida grandparents to vote for Obama. Hilarious!

Enjoy!
