A plea...

...from The General...
Please write Lowes, today, and ask them to stop exposing our children to Arabic Islamonumbers.

Here's a sample letter:
Dear Lowes,

We're not fooled by your paternalistic attempt to silence our righteous whining by pulling ads from the teevee show, "All-American Muslim." You are still exposing our children to the Islamuninistoprog agenda through your use of Arabic numbers in your pricing and measurement systems.

We demand that you cease using these Islamonumbers immediately and replace them with good, old fashioned, American Roman numerals.

The change should not be difficult to make. For example, you'd simply change something currently priced at $1,783.84 to $MDCCLXXXIII.LXXXIV. Nothing to it.

Please make the change immediately. We're watching you.

Heterosexually yours,

[Your Name]
Here's Lowe's email address, customercare@lowes.com, and phone number, 1-800-445-6937. Get 'er done.
Saddle up, troopers!

It seems to me...

...that the cheap mortage and quick re-fi ads on sports talk radio have been crowded out by the bankruptcy and divorce lawyers lately.

Just my impression, but I imagine that it means something.

From the "Me neither" file.

Joan Walsh...
Christine O'Donnell is not me!
Me neither.

Time to lay off O'Donnell for awhile, I guess, but the woman is a treasure in her own way.

From the "Me too" file.

The DNC sez…
"Dick Cheney, wrong then, wrong now."
Me too, but they bought airtime.

Good question…

…from Lee.
How long will it be before people start treating Black Friday like an American version of Pamplona, where people dash into a Wal-Mart at 5am not to buy stuff, but solely for the thrill of surviving the stampede?
My sole errand today was an emissions test for my pick'em up truck (passed on the first try this year), and the journey involved the briefest brush with mall traffic. Personally, I can't imagine what possesses people, but they seem to find the efforts of advertisers (and willing accomplices in news departments everywhere) to gin up a retail frenzy with planned shortages on the most attractive bargains compelling.

I'm sure there'll be more deals next week. Maybe better ones that don't involve 4:00 am alarms.

Or, hopefully, fatal injuries.

Through the looking glass...

Rove: McCain went 'too far' in ads
Curiouser and curiouser.

"Whoa."

Tough truth from the Obama camp…


ANNCR: Politicians lying about their records? You don’t call that maverick…you call it more of the same.


The L word is out of the holster. Fire at will - there's a worthwhile target in every direction it seems.

Imbedded video at AMERICAblog Like Sudbay says, more of this.

Aw shucks.

A good idea gone awry
Team Obama Wednesday announced to great fanfare it would stream ads ripping John McCain on screens at dozens of filling stations around the Sunshine State - only to have Gas Station TV pull the plug at the last minute. "We avoid politics in general," Gas Station TV CEO David Leider said.
There's still good news going forward, though. First, it was a good idea, novel and relevant. The team that came up with it is likely to come up with more novel and relevant good ideas. Second, the campaign hierarchy was willing to commit some resources to the idea, and they were able to. People throughout the campaign should be encouraged to know that good creative ideas will be heard and may well be supported.

And that "ripping John McCain" thing? I like that, too.

That's it, huh?

McSame...
"All I can say is that we are proud of that commercial."
Actually, I guess it does say it all.

Worst candidate and campaign.

Ever.
