Teach Your Children Well

Ung Pirat, or ‘Young Pirate’, is the youth organization associated with the Swedish pirate party. Yesterday it was a big day for the group, getting 1,325,744 Swedish Krona (Approx €121,900, or $161,700 US) from the national board for youth affairs. The amount is based on a membership count of around 1280 members, but with current membership of around 4,872, next years amount should be even greater.

Giving money to terrorists! Well I never!

Who Pays the Paymasters?

Picture Disc?

Although I am made uneasy by the sight of Watchmen Hoodies, this piece of swag gets credit for being era-appropriate.

May Glycon forgive me...

Getting Behind Your Product

Because you openly advertize that it blows chunks.

"'4d' if you're wasted," indeed.

Not as wasted as the exec who thought that tagline was "edgy" and "hip," though.

Better Late Than?

Hey I just got my free Obama shirt for the donation I made in September! It looks swell, and at 2x large, I can get even fatter!

Virginia is the new Ohio.
Which was the new Florida.
And Florida is the same old Florida.

I smell litigation afoot...

Seriously?!?

Evidently a vote for Obama is a vote for holocaust.

Call me soft-headed, but it seems to me it is actually "strong and decisive" leaders that are behind genocides.

I also remind the "Republican Jewish Coalition" that FDR was neither weak nor naive, and the Holocaust still occurred.

So nauseating even Fox News goes after him.

Getting Better All The Time

McCain Campaign Pushed Hoax:

John McCain's Pennsylvania communications director told reporters in the state an incendiary version of the hoax story about the attack on a McCain volunteer well before the facts of the case were known or established -- and even told reporters outright that the "B" carved into the victim's cheek stood for "Barack," according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions.

John Verrilli, the news director for KDKA in Pittsburgh, told TPM Election Central that McCain's Pennsylvania campaign communications director gave one of his reporters a detailed version of the attack that included a claim that the alleged attacker said, "You're with the McCain campaign? I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Verrilli also told TPM that the McCain spokesperson had claimed that the "B" stood for Barack. According to Verrilli, the spokesperson also told KDKA that Sarah Palin had called the victim of the alleged attack, who has since admitted the story was a hoax.

The KDKA reporter had called McCain's campaign office for details after seeing the story -- sans details -- teased on Drudge.

Oh, That's Better

Palin, who is John McCain's vice presidential running mate, said the clothes were not worth $150,000 and were bought for the Republican National Convention.

Most of the clothes have never left the campaign plane, she told the newspaper.

Yeah, just what Joe the Campaign Donor wants to hear...

Paging Lt. Columbo

Ok, so we see how the nets - broadcast and broadband - are going to wallow tomorrow:



as they will go hogwild over this crime story as McCain Campaign talking point:

Woman Attacked At ATM, Assailant Scratches Letter Into Her Face
Woman Robbed, Attacked With Knife At Bloomfield ATM
...
Police spokeswoman Diane Richard said the robber took $60 from Todd, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.
...
Todd declined to comment to the Tribune. Friends said she is in Pittsburgh volunteering for the McCain-Palin campaign.

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras.

-- WTAE TV

Now color me cynical, but doesn't anyone wonder why the robber scratched the "B" backwards?

Like it was done in, say, a mirror?

Or does the Pittsburgh press routinely print all their photos in reverse?

Update:

Police: Campaign Worker Admits Making Up Story
Source: KDKA Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

Well, that was fast...
