The Superior Poverty

We have found The One.  And it is not Neo, Thomas Anderson, Seraph, the Merovingian, or Barack Obama; this is one not even the Oracle could have forseen.  The One is....Jim Oberstar's lone in-district contributor:

With a potentially competitive race developing back home in Minnesota’s 8th District, Transportation Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar collected a contribution from just one resident of the district between June 22 and September 30, according to a federal election report filed Wednesday.

Jane Robbins of Pine City gave Oberstar $500 on August 22.

Other than that, all of his contributions came from political action committees, Native American tribes or individual donors in other districts and states.

In all, the veteran Iron Range Democrat, first elected in 1974, collected just $233,102 in receipts over the time period. By comparison, fellow Minnesotan Michele Bachmann, a Republican firebrand, pulled in $5.4 million between July 1 and September 30.

This bit would be a lot funnier if Oberstar still represented Minnesota-8, instead of Obamatopia-pick a number.  On the other hand, since Minnesota=8 has been effectively abandoned, Chip Cravaack should be awarded the seat via forfeit, don't you think?

Speaking of forfeiture, is it still possible to even be offended by Sorry Charlie Crist's sociopathy anymore?:

 

 

So now Sweet Potato Man is The True Hispanic in the Florida Senatorial race?  Or was for three minutes and thirty-five seconds?

Judging by how Kendrick Meek piled on after Senator Rubio was through dismantling Malcolm McDowell With Jaundice, I'd guess Crist folded like a K-Mart deck chair because he was afraid Meek might beat his ass more than verbally.

Did I once say that his thumbnail pics made Meek look like Gary Coleman?  Not after this vid.

The drawback of cynical perspicacity is that when you're hugely vindicated on something, you don't get to experience the sheer "SEE, I TOLD YOU SO!" joy you otherwise would. So...pardon me whilst I yawn - although Sick Willie's involvement as... Read More
