Glad to Work in a Female-Dominated Field

Adam Graham — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 01:31:47 +0000

Never been so fortunate as to work in a female-dominated work group. We’ve got a Man-cession and 80% of the jobs eliminated have been men’s jobs.

So-Called Grassroots Campaign

Adam Graham — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 05:21:31 +0000

Rusty Shackelford exposes a phony grassroots campaign of lies against Sarah Palin organized by a PR firm, and suggests possible ties to the Obama campaign. Personally, I think the conjecture about a tie isn’t backed up by a whole lot at this point. Still, it’s a worthwhile read as a study of liberal psy ops.

V-ND Day

Barack Obama is pulling his staffers out of North Dakota. (Hat Tip: Don Surber.)

Just One More Thing…

Adam Graham — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 15:59:14 +0000

Net Flix suggested a very good Intelligent Design DVD, Privileged Planet based on the fact that I liked a Christian movie and also Columbo, Season 1. Now, I can understand the Christian film, but what about liking Columbo would make you want watch an Intelligent Design Documentary?

Treaty Matter

Adam Graham — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 02:50:20 +0000

Well, it appears that the New York Post got it wrong about Obama interferring in negotiations over troop withdrawal, it was a longer-term matter Obama interferred in regarding strategic relations between the U.S. and Iraq.

Obama Ad Controversy

Adam Graham — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:50:28 +0000

Fact checking, re-fact checking, and re-re-fact checking the Washington Post who goes after the McCain campaign for relying on such an unreliable source as the Washington Post in making its campaign ads.

Todd Rodham-Palin

Adam Graham — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:45:16 +0000

Todd Palin as Alaska’s shadown governor? Give me a break. I’ll worry if Sarah becomes President and puts Todd in charge of fixing health care. (Hat Tip: The Corner.)

Newspaper Demographics

Adam Graham — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:01:18 +0000

A nice little web meme on who reads newspapers, and I’d say option 12 applies to the Idaho Statesman as well as the other papers listed.

Feminism as We Know It, Dying

Adam Graham — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:14:13 +0000

The American Thinker says that Palin is “ringing the death knell of feminism as we know it.” and “Long live the new feminism.”

Given that stereotypical liberal gender feminism has become little more than forcing women into groupthink and man-hating, I’d say it’s a positive development.

Willie Brown is No Fool

Adam Graham — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:47:29 +0000

Former San Francisco Mayor and California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown on Sarah Palin: “Sarah Palin has totally changed the dynamics of this campaign. ” (Hat Tip: Clayton Cramer.)

Endorsement Interviews Online

Adam Graham — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:35:10 +0000

This will be fun: Richert and the Statesman are opening the door, so that we can hear editorial board interviews. This is particularly important in State Legislative races with limited coverage and few debates and represents the only real opportunity to compare some of these candidates.

The Chapter the Media Never Read

Adam Graham — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:32:02 +0000

Huckabee suggests the media never read Genesis 50 in regards to their attack on Sarah Palin, particularly this part of Verse 20, “you, ye thought evil against me, but God meant it unto good to bring to pass as it is this day.”

Generally, I think most of the media has never read anything from Genesis 1-Revelations 22 and understands little to nothing of the Christian faith in general. That would explain the shocks at conservative Christian reaction to Bristol Palin.

Home Run: M.O.

Adam Graham — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 04:04:52 +0000

Michelle Obama’s speech tonight at the Democratic Convention was a home run. Some prtisans will deny it and cite things that activists know that your average American doesn’t (like how much Michelle is paid for her “public service work.”)

The speech ws step one in image rehab to move the Obamas out of the radical box and into the mainstream. McCain’s celebrity and messiah inferences have had an effect as Obama tries for a somewhat more “regular guy” image. Bottom line: McCain and Republicans need to counter with a strong vision for America, or we may look back at this convention and note that it was the time Obama took the lead and never looked back.

Clayton Cramer

Adam Graham — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:17:52 +0000

Prayers up for Clayton Cramer, who may be facing a layoff.

KLo Thinks It’s Huckabee

Adam Graham — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:14:58 +0000

Kathryn Jean Lopez writes ”The real veep pick is Huckabee, who frequently sounds good and looks like a middle-class guy.” I can’t disagree with her reasoning, but given that Huckabee has said he’s not being vetted, I somehow doubt this. I lean towards KLo being a little paranoid.

Poll Update

Adam Graham — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:05:56 +0000

The latest Ohio Rasmussen Poll shows McCain up 5, which may be played as a good news in the conservative blogosphere except the last Rasmussen poll in Ohio had McCain up 10. Other polls are mixed. PPP had it a tie, while Quinnipiac had Obama up 2. Anyway you cut it, Ohio is still toss-up.
