Raving anti-Semitic loon Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the UN General Assembly today.  In addition to his rambling, paranoid conspiracy theories, he declared that the end of the “American empire” was near:

 
My, that sounds familiar.

Whacked out extremists really do come in threes, don’t they?

There’s still plenty of time and four debates between now and election day, but it can’t be a bad sign that Barack Obama is ahead in 2004 red states Colorado, Iowa, and New Mexico.  Electoral-vote.com shows an Obama lead in Virginia, but it looks more realistically like a tie.  That state is right on the line.  [...]

I was just about to point out that Republicans are quite anxious to see whoever hacked Sarah Palin’s Yahoo email account indicted.  I was ready to agree that since accessing someone else’s electronic information is illegal, perhaps an arrest should be made.

It didn’t happen that way, of course.  Bush’s argument was empty rhetoric, meant to make people fear a [...]

John McCain has said “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” at least sixteen times this year.  He said it again on the very day Wall Street was on the verge of collapse.  He later clarified by claiming that he was talking about American workers (why does Barack Obama think American workers are weak?).
