Call It A Comeback
“All for One”
words & music: Kevin Chalfant & Chuck Giacinto
So tell me who will be the next to carry the torch
To ride in on a pure white horse
To wave the flag, to lead the way
To keep the promise of a bright new day
Chorus:
The dream is still alive inside our souls
Protecting the Freedom, we answer the call
Standing strong together, ‘though alone we may fall
Sacrificing All for One…and One for All

O’DONNELL: They’re getting away with nudity! They’re getting away with lasciviousness! They’re getting away with perversion!
Calling Dana Carvey.
Mark Kirk keeps on ranting about the budget deficit, but wants to make sure he’s in the Senate early to stop tax cuts for the wealthy from expiring as he voted for them to years ago:
In a fundraising email today, Kirk reminded supporters about the possibility of a lame duck session with a poll asking, “Which of the following potential lame duck issues do you think would hurt the economy the most?” The poll included four options, but one of them was particularly noteworthy: “A 900 billion tax increase by allowing current federal tax relief to expire.”
Kirk is talking about the Bush tax cuts, which are scheduled to expire at the end of the year, and his premise underscores the GOP’s scornfully dishonest framing of this debate.
To repeat, the Bush tax cuts are scheduled to expire; Republicans passed them into law with an end date in order to hide their true, massive cost. Contrary to the GOP talking points, Democrats aren’t scheming to raise taxes. If Congress simply does nothing, taxes will go up on their own, thanks to Republican policies.
Not allowing the portion of the tax cuts targeted to the wealthy to expire will create a $700 Billion in additional federal debt. So put him in early to get ahead of the game busting the budget!
Giving full credit to Brad Reed for coming up with her motto, but Christine O’Donnell is not only an uptight evangelical, but one who lectures and scolds everyone else for their behavior no matter how private. No one likes those kind of scolds. No one.
And since Brad came up with such a great motto, go join the Cheddarbomb for Feingold. He’s a a Cheesehead, but a decent one.
Matthews further maintained that it might be dangerous for Democrats to treat O’Donnell with the scorn and derision her campaign so richly deserves because he remembered that they did that to Ronald Reagan, too, and look how that turned out.
Well, that’s bullshit, and Chris Matthews knows it. By the time Reagan won in 1980, he was a giant figure in the Republican Party, and an even bigger one in the conservative movement that had risen to energize it after the Goldwater debacle in 1964. He had delivered thousands of speeches, all over the country, to anyone who’d stand in one place for five minutes and listen, the kind of party-building woodshedding that hardly any candidate does any more. In 1976, he’d run a close campaign against Gerald Ford, an unelected incumbent president, but an incumbent nonetheless. For all his carefully stage-managed anti-politics, Reagan paid more real political dues than any candidate of in the past 60 years — including, God knows, both John and Robert Kennedy.
And Christine O’Donnell is a sideshow freak.
Seriously now, she was a crackpot when she rose on primary morning, and she’s a crackpot now, and she will be a crackpot whether she wins or loses in November. She no more belongs in the Senate of the United States today than she did the day she was born. That 30,000-odd primates in Delaware thinks she belongs there is their problem. If enough people in Delaware come to think so, then she becomes our problem.

Talking Points Memo decides to have fun with headlines:
Dorm life has evolved into a blending of the sexes, from coed buildings to coed floors, coed bathrooms and now even coed rooms.
“What’s next? Orgy rooms? Menage a trois rooms?” asked Christine O’Donnell, spokeswoman for the Intercollegiate Studies Institute in Wilmington, Del., which publishes a college guide.
All this coedness is outside normal life, said Miss O’Donnell. “Most average American adults don’t use coed bathrooms – if they had the option of a coed bathroom at a public restaurant, they wouldn’t choose it.” Coedness “is like a radical agenda forced on college students,” she said.
Coedness is a radical agenda forced on college students. Seriously. Her and Petey have to be friends.
I’m sure he’ll babble on about deficits and how awful they are though.
Christine O’Donnell is a literal six day creationist:
Whoops. Technically, evolution is a theory in the scientific-nomenclature sense, but it’s so widely accepted by every legitimate scientist in the world that it is considered fact. Not enough evidence? Tests with inconsistent results? It sounds like she’s talking about rumors that Lady Gaga has a penis, not a basic foundation of biology. What’s with all the dubiousness?
CHRISTINE O’DONNELL: Now, he said that it’s based on fact. I just want to point out a couple things. First of all, they use carbon dating, as an example, to prove that something was millions of years old. Well, we have the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens and the carbon dating test that they used then would have to then prove that these were hundreds of millions of years younger, when what happened was they had the exact same results on the fossils and canyons that they did the tests on that were supposedly 100 millions of years old. And it’s the kind of inconsistent tests like this that they’re basing their ‘facts’ on.
We Googled this and apparently it refers to some tests run by a guy at the Institute for Creation Research. Definitely the kind of stuff on which you want to pin your refutation of evolution. Well, at least O’Donnell didn’t claim that there is just as much or more evidence for creationism as there is for evolution, right?
CHRISTINE O’DONNELL: Well, creationism, in essence, is believing that the world began as the Bible in Genesis says, that God created the Earth in six days, six 24-hour periods. And there is just as much, if not more, evidence supporting that.
Spit take! Ladies and gentlemen of Delaware, your Republican Senate nominee.
Except carbon dating is limited to about 50,000 years at the upper limit though I understand there are some new ways to use it longer. The dating she is referring to isn’t done by carbon dating, but other radiometric dating. ICR above, uses bad samples to try and disprove radiometric dating, but they violate geological standards in doing so. For those really geeky, read the ASA’s paper on radiometric dating.
You should get out the saddles for the dinosaurs men used to ride and read Charlie Pierce’s book that describes people lik e O’Donnell perfectly:
