Joe Hairplugs misplaced him, somehow, choosing to disremember that FDR was already giving radio chats in 1929, just in time for the stock market crash. If Mac had said it, there’s be a snowstorm of "senile old man" columns and editorials. But something tells me Uncle Joe’s gaffes will be quietly overlooked.

Barry’s sole executive experience, funneling $100 million in foundation charity, cobbled together by former terrorist Bill Ayers, to radical education groups, rarely gets mentioned by his presidential campaign or the Big Media. Oddly enough. It’s finally being explored in the WSJ. Now, maybe, the WaPo and NYT will get around to it–but I won’t hold my breath. They’re only interested in Cindy McCain’s onetime drug problems.

NASA says observers are seeing the birth of a true sunspot on the sun’s face, the first of its kind since the solar minimum began in January. That should alleviate any concerns about a new Ice Age coming in the years ahead. But some worriers say it’s really too soon to tell if this spot will grow and last or merely fade like others of its class have done.
UPDATE: The Seablogger prefers to call it a "sun-sputter," and, indeed, the day after the announcement, it’s almost gone. Meanwhile, NASA held a presser to announce the sun’s output of solar wind is at a fifty-year low. What that means for us, they didn’t say, except that more cosmic rays will get into the inner solar system. There is a theory about the rays, however, which calls global warming into question.

Really now, does anyone doubt that the smears on Sarah originate with Barry’s astroturfing campaign? Doesn’t seem to be working, though, as her crowds get bigger.

Ralph Peters outdoes his usual fine work, in this timely and wise appreciation of Gov. Palin:
"For the first time since Ronald Reagan, our last great president, we, the people, see a chance that one of us might have a voice in governing our country."
Out with the Harvards and Yales. In with the land-grant state colleges like Idaho.
First it was Barry talking about lipstick on a pig, which his audience picked up on immediately as being about Sarah. Then, he begged off on that. Then, later, he partially admitted it to Letterman. Now his wife is saying not to vote for someone because "She’s cute." Then, Michelle smiles and says she’s really talking about herself. Except she’s not running for anything. Nobody gets to vote for her. What a comical couple. Imagine four years of their snark and innuendo.
