Happy Birthday Sarah Palin

The Last Time McCain Held a Lead In a National Poll the Dow Closed at 11,022

I thought of yesterday's post as Karl Rove on FOX tonight mentioned that the last time John McCain lead in a national poll was September 25, when I looked it up the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 11,022. There certainly has been a lot going on in the financial markets beyond the American elections but the buy side certainly is looking at the policies of a potential Obama administration and backing off their bids beyond what they otherwise would have been.

Polls Tighten - McCain & Palin Interviewed on CNBC - Stock Market Explodes!

Some of my liberal friends have told me how goofy I am for noticing that the stock market has lost value when Barack Obama's Presidential campaign rises in the polls and that stock prices have risen when Barack Obama falls in the polls. The correlation is noticeable enough for me, a grain trader to notice it. Well McCain's poll numbers tightened again today plus John McCain and Sarah Palin were interviewed together by Maria Bartiromo on CNBC today. CNBC is watched in nearly every trading office in America, it's even on the screens of televisions on exchange trading floors without the sound. The Dow Jones 30 rose 889 points today.

Maria Bartiromo also played the notorious Obama judicial redistribution tape on air yesterday. Chalk two up for Maria, she's bigger than most of the "big boys."

No video yet but it was a good day for America. Don't listen to those who state that stock traders and investors pay no heed to such ignorant Obama promises as: raising corporate taxes, raising dividend taxes, raising capital gains taxes, rewriting trade treaties to the detriment of all involved, raising overall taxes, increasing regulation, funding "community organizers" like ACORN that use their bullhorn to steal (see: ACORN's involvement in the collapse of Fannie Mae), lower defense funding in a dangerous world, a disturbing, nearly dictatorial view of opponent's free speech rights that will likely be used in the regulatory realm and I am sure that I have missed some things that the buy side of the market looks askance at.

During the rare economic discussion with my liberal friends they really can't make cogent arguments on how those policies are beneficial to the average business, I ask a very simple question: how will raising the taxes of a business give that business incentive to: hire more employees, raise the salary of their employees, increase their bonuses, give them more time off and increased family leave, give them or increase their health insurance, give them or improve their retirement plans?

"I'm Sarah Palin and Have a Pleasant Tomorrow"

Well, at least she got in the last word.

Democratic Drunks and the Sarah Palin Nude

There is a dump on North Ave. named the Old Town Ale House, it is right around the corner from Second City Chicago. Having spent some time at Second City the bar's proximity to the home of improv comedy is no real shock, improv actors are actors after all. As a hint to any Second City students, stupid jokes about Palin, McCain or Republicans in general will get you big time laughs from your instructor(s). Especially if that instructor was left in Chicago when Tina Fey took half of her Main Stage cast to New York with her. Those people can be very bitter and they cling to their bad humor as if it were a Bible. As you can see from the above link the walls are covered with bad art so the Palin painting fits right in, an uncensored version is on their web site. We really should be listening to those actors and artists. Sheesh.

Hat Tip: Chicago HuffPo

Thanks to the Backyard Conservative who helpfully pointed out that this is from the Chicago Tribune. I think that we can assume that if the Trib has sent their reporters the one mile (Google Maps say that it takes 5 minutes) to North and Wells that they have not found anymore bogus stories from their crack team of reporters in Alaska.

Tennessee Democratic Rep's Son In Check Over Palin E-Mail Hack

It is now being reported that the attack on Sarah Palin's Yahoo account was conducted by David Kernell, the son of Tennessee Democratic state Representative Mike Kernell. David is a chess fan who just got himself put in check.

AP Aids pro-Obama Hackers!

"The Secret Service contacted The Associated Press on Wednesday and asked for copies of the leaked e-mails, which circulated widely on the Internet. The AP did not comply." Pay no attention to bias behind the media.

Dept of Justice Needs to Prosecute Gawker and Hackers

As mentioned here yesterday and discussed on the O'Rielly Factor last night, a group of hackers who back Barack Obama broke into Sarah Palin's e-mail account and spread her private information around the Internet. Those people should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and Gawker should be held financialy resposible. The Gateway Pundit has more on the story.

Nigerian Obama Supporters Have Stolen Palin's E-Mail?

This sounds like the type of criminality that originates in Nigeria. If you are on Sarah Palin's e-mail list expect a note asking you to wire thousands of dollars to Lagos, Nigeria because Sarah has lost her passport and her money while enjoying the wonders of Lagos. Yes some supporters of Barack Obama have hacked into Sarah Palin's Yahoo account and spread her private photos, e-mails and contact list around the Internet. Gawker is now displaying the e-mails. If I may steal a recurring reminder from Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit, Keep it Classy Democrats.

Michelle Malkin has the story and helpfully reminds us that it is a federal crime to hack into an e-mail account. I wonder if it is also a crime to pass on known stolen material while stating that it is stolen?

The Democratic Party Web Site Displays Palin Pig Photo

This website, titled "The Democratic Party" (democrats.org) has a page entitled McCain's Selection of Palin is Lipstick on a Pig from August 30. And Barack Obama wants us to think that his latest insult to a woman was just a slip of the tongue. The Obama people aren't simply sexist they are disgraceful and Barack is just another cog in their wheel.

Hat Tip: Dr. Sanity

So Now Obama Has Called Sarah Palin a Pig?

The guy is losing it, we are seeing the bullying side of Barack Obama. 56 days to go Senator, can you hold it together? As Karl Rove pointed out tonight, the last person and only person in this campaign who has talked about pigs and pigs with lipstick was Sarah Palin when she made her off the cuff joke about Hockey Moms during her acceptance speech. She has them worried, very worried.

Newspapers Taking Reporters Off Terrorism Beat to Investigate Sarah Palin

This is getting ridiculous. This Counter Terrorism Blog report has some newspapers taking their reporters off of the terrorism beat. That has been going on for a year as the paper's financial situations continued to deteriorate and since the United States turned the corner against terrorists in Iraq. But now the newspapers terrorism investigation teams may be re-energized with the investigation of what the Instapundit has described as "the real enemy." The debasement of a normal American family continues apace.

Joe Biden Displays Distress

Joe Biden displays nautical distress signal. The flag on the floor is a sign of disrespect but he can spin the incident by pointing out that he didn't burn the flag.

This photo of Joe Biden sitting next to an (his?) American flag that is upside down and on the floor. Really Joe was not knowingly displaying distress rather he was just showing his usual lack of class.

Update:
The Gateway Pundit has more.

Obama Saw Alaska On A Map!

This is big news, less than four months ago Barack Obama did not realize that Kentucky borders on Illinois, the state that Obama represents in the Senate. Further the Obama campaign has not released any information that explains another Obama statement from four months ago, that he had campaigned in "57 states." On This Week With George Stephanopoulos Obama stated “(w)ell, look. You know, I actually knew that Russia was next to Alaska, as well. I saw it on a map.” Wow, the Next Rand McNally can read a map. While attempting to belittle Sarah Palin Obama not only acts like a jerk but he reminds us that some very basic knowledge had not made it into Obama's own bank of basic knowledge as recently as last spring.

Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit - What? Obama Blasts Alaska Governor on Her Experience

Obama Running as Community Organizer Would Be Like Palin Running as a PTA Member

Except that the PTA member has some actual responsibilities. Face it, Barack Obama organized those people into the Tony Rezko slums that "community organizer" Barack Obama's employer worked to get subsidized so that they could have their heat turned off in the middle of Chicago's winters. I bet that Sarah Palin wasn't cashing campaign donation checks from slumlords while those slum lords froze her constituents up in Alaska. Barack Obama was not the kind of "organizer" that people need, and hasn't he admitted to being notoriously unorganized? That's why he can't come up with so many records from his past.

Oprah's Latest Diet: Ratings

Chicago's own Oprah Winfrey has become just another televised shill. This time it's for Barack Obama. Oprah will not host Sarah Palin despite the fact that her viewers want to see Gov. Palin on Oprah's show. Hey Oprah, the KGB used to use the term "nyet", try it.

HuffPo Posters: "Track Palin is Gay"

Now where do they find these people? The HuffPo has been forced to turn off the comment section on a Track Palin page due to the fact that so many Democratic readers have, um "issues." Here is one comment that was copied before they closed the door on the HuffPo reader's insanity: "My gaydar went off too…seriously…if Track is gay…does that mean that the entire Republican party will have to rally around his right to be a sinner like they have done with Bristol." For those who are less familiar with urban culture, "gaydar" is shorthand for "gay radar". And what is with the "sinner" thing? The people who complain the loudest that gays are sinners are the members of the Westboro Baptist Church and it has been conservatives who have taken on those losers. Sheesh. Now just because Ariana Huffington's ex-husband is a gay Republican does not mean that every decent looking conservative is gay.

Moonbattery has the story.
Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin

Todd Palin...

...Has done a good job, sure he hasn't really said anything but he hasn't been asked nor has he needed to. Last Wednesday morning his wife was flying to Arizona to confer with John McCain and news reports had other politicians also confering with the Arizona Senator concerning the Vice Presidency, tonight he is standing on a stage in front of thousands of people and millions more on television. Heady stuff and he is doing fine. Good job Todd.

Joe Biden - Too Dumb to Understand

I just saw a clip of Joe Biden on the Today Show stating that he did not hear Sarah Palin talk about the middle class. What a fool, a large portion of the speech was about the middle class. She talked about taxes, jobs and the middle class. Hey Joe, take your meds and watch the speech, you might learn something. Doubtful on Biden learning anything, at all.

Obama People Attempted to Attack Palin During Speech

Copyright: AP
Code Pinko member Jodie Evans attempts to storm the dias and attack Sarah Palin during her speech at the Republican National Convention. Evans was arrested like her inspiration, William Ligue, below.

Code Pinko inspiration William Ligue, a South Side of Chicago idiot who was arrested with his 14 year old son after they attacked Kansas City Royals coach Tom Gamboa at Sox Park in 2002.

Code Pinko inspiration Ligue being hauled off at Sox Park. Barack Obama stated that  "White Sox, that's baseball. South Side." Ligue is a Democratic South Side baseball fan.

What the hell is wrong with these people? A major Obama fund raiser (a star "bundler") got to the edge of the stage while Sarah Palin was giving her speech last night and attempted to storm the stage. Yes, the idiotic Jodie Evans is a member of code pinko, no shock there. Also no shock is that she was joined by the disgusting Medea Benjamin, a woman who changed her first name to that of a fictional character who murdered her sons. Medea is so ignorant that after moving to Cuba she complained that she had no free speech rights. Horrible humans like Evans, Benjamin and the bimbos of code pinko give humans a bad name. Apparently those two shrews got into the convention with the help of a "disgruntled Republican." Well they should disgruntle that person's loser ass right out of town.

These Obama people have become so unhinged that they are now willing to attack opposing candidates on stage during speeches. These insane people think that they should lead a nation? No nation deserves to be lead by these juvenile imbeciles. The spoiled children at code pinko have even put out a press release bragging about their fascist tactics.

Hat Tip to the Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft who has been repeatedly reminding the Democrats to "keep it classy." Like their exalted leader Obama those people are unable to take any advice that wasn't written by Saul Alinsky.
