Gerard Butler-After Dark: The TRUTH about ACORN

Why Does Islam Gets Special Treatment

I just heard from G4 that the video game "Little Big Planet" because there are two quotes from the Koran in the game. Little Big Planet is a platform game that allows you make your own characters, backgrounds, music and offers almost unprecidented customization for a console video game. The quotes apparently offended someone in Europe so now Sony is going to delay the game's launch and is removing the quotes in a song:

"kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: 'Every soul shall have the taste of death'.

"kollo man alaiha fan", literally: 'All that is on earth will perish'.

I admit that I have no idea why anyone is offended. You can read the articles here and here.

UPDATE
I just heard what the offense is: In Islam it is offensive to combine the words of the Koran with music! What?!!!! I admit I don't get it.

Al Smith 2008 Dinner

Every President since 1960 has spoken at the dinner ceremony commemorating the life of Al Smith, former governor of New York and former candidate for President of the United States. The idea is to take a humorous look at politics in America. This year both John McCain and Barak Obama jointly gave keynote addresses on October 16, 2008. To be honest, I laughed at both of their jokes. I have heard comments that Obama was stiff and McCain was comfortable and extremely funny. As I watched them at the dinner, I contrasted them with how they performed on Wednesday's debate. They switched places. During the debates, Obama was confident, strong, and debates very well. McCain looked uncomfortable and out of place. He lost composure at times. But during the dinner Obama did not look comfortable and McCain was very comfortable poking fun at himself, Obama, and our society. He was great. Obama was also funny but it did not come off as well. The question is do you think being entertaining is part of the job description for President? I'm trying to elect the best President not Jester. It seems to me that this underscores the difference between the 2 men even more. Here is a transcript.

Mythological Barack Obama

I am amazed about same myths about Obama keep circulating. If people are going to hate him and trying to find reasons not to like him, then please find somethings that hold up better than the stuff being spewed out now. Here is a video that does a good job in summarizing those myths. This video is old but the arguments are still being used.

Obama and Taxes

In case you have not been on Obama's campaign web site. You are missing out. I'm really impressed with it. His campaign war chest is being well spent. For people with questions about how his tax plan would affect them the website gives us a video and a tax calculator to see what you would pay if Obama ever gets to enact his tax proposals. I have put the tax calculator in the right-hand margin of my blog.
