12 point lead. 15 point lead for Obama. I’m not buying it. I think the media thinks we’re morons. We’ve stiffed Hollywood. We can stiff the media.

In the 80′s, our gentile friends condescended assurance when we said that people want to kill Jews. Moslems are at it in Paris again. I’ve been told that more and more French is heard spoken in Jerusalem. It used to be just Russian, English, and Hebrew.

Should a Jew assassinate Obama, God forbid, that would be terrible. If Israel attacked Iran and oil prices shot up and plunged the global market into chaos or free fall, God forbid, that would be terrible also.

I feel like a powder keg is just below us…again.

The only good news is that McCain has a sense of humor. That’s a quality that the world really needs now. We need a kidder. He should get Jacky Mason to write for him. He should go on Saturday Night Live as much as he can.

He should appoint Rudy Guliani, Fred Thompson, or even Mich Romney for vice-President and let them get out there.

Somebody is going to be in the oval office in February. It’s crunch time.

But for others, it is not.

And to these good folks, if they are reading, and in light of the Kelo (land grab from private citizen to private company for tax community tax benefits) decision; the Boumediene (Constitutional habeus corpus for aliens) decision; the Kennedy (child rape) decision; and the close Heller (individual right to keep and bear arms) decision . . . I beseech you: please reconsider.

The last thing we need is Barak Obama appointing judges, supreme or other. I beg you — hold your nose and vote for McCain.

Shakespere said something about the lawyers and it wasn’t pretty.

I like Karl Rove, Dennis Miller, Charles Kruthammer, Thomas Sowell, Mark Steyn, Charles Johnson, the guys on NRO, Powerline,and The American Thinker. But VDH is the best.

Do you think the heat was bad in CA? Here on the Mississippi it rains a lot. I mean a lot.

I think today of the Spanish so self-congratulating in defending the natural rights of apes while unable & unwilling to defend themselves from murderous aggression.

Anyway, your allusion brought a rueful smile.

As a life-long resident near Modesto, I share your far happier smile over your daughter’s wedding and wish you all joy.

I too have noticed Obama’s relentless negativism about, basically, the sum total of American history up until the day he is sworn in as president. His persistent implication is that nothing can be laudable or even just good when Obama has not yet presided over the Oval Office.

Plus, he comes off, for me, as a guy who imagines himself to be performing a reality-TV “intervention” on American voting constituencies. Everything about him seems to echo the artificial hype of popular culture.

Gonna be a very long campaign. Still so many miles to go.

II. The Obama agenda: What we know for sure.

1. Raise your taxes.

2. Do nothing to increase the domestic supply of oil.

3. Surrender in Iraq.

4. Help his pals shakedown the telecoms for millions.

VDH’s line is a classic, “No serious country would elect him President.”

I think McCain can easily win PA(my home state) and the Midwest with a little effort if he gets his campaign together – Obama has few fans besides the blacks and academia. Most of the blue collar legacy Democrats I talk to will end up going for the Republican rather than the out-of-touch amateur in this election.
