Over at Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft reports a story that I am quite sure will not be picked up by the New York Times or MSNBC: http://“Obama honored fallen SEALs by sending their parents a form letter signed by electric pen.” Jim writes:

 

(Snip)UPDATE: Perhaps I should point out that the link above on “the contrast” is to the Washington Times story “Bush, Cheney comforted troops privately.” In the Washington Times story John Solomon reports: “Mr. Bush…has sent personal letters to the families of every one of the more than 4,000 troops who have died in the two wars, an enormous personal effort that consumed hours of his time and escaped public notice.”

 

 

 

AH! Barack Obama...always a class act!

I have been trolling through the liberals comments on my FB page. First of all, I notice a LOT of happy conservatives, but they are quite quiet about politics.

 

However, my liberal friends are following exactly the party line: That Ryan's speech was dazzling, deceitful and distracting. And they are seething. Like cornered dogs, honestly.

 

So. We can't just disagree anymore, we must be branded liars if we have different perspectives on life. Frustrating.

 

For some (on both sides See TOS) apparently we can't just disagree. The main difference I see is you don't see hateful articles on say NRO Human Events...etc like of say Mother Jones, Media Matters MSNBC...etc. A question I've been posing on CGP is When did disagreeing or criticizing someone or some position become hating? Examples: Not supporting Same Sex Marriage = hating gays, not supporting Affirmative Action = hating minorities.

Saw this on American Thinker:

 

 

If "golf" and "Chicago" now are code words for black people, what does the media make of this? Very little it seems, since the offender is a Democrat.

An Assembly candidate whose campaign sent mailers using the word "negrohood" to residents in his Sheepshead Bay district apologized Wednesday - calling the racially tinged language a "typo."

"As the candidate, I take full responsibility for this inadvertent error and I am sorry to anyone who was offended by it," Ben Akselrod, who's running in the Sept. 13 Democratic primary against Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz, said in a statement.

The Friends of Ben Akselrod sent the mailers last week, claiming that his opponent "has allowed crime to go up over 50% in our negrohood so far this year."

Townhall.com has this AP story:

 

Ann Romney: tasteful, conservative, appropriate

 

Ann Romney's tasteful, conservative and appropriate wardrobe largely reflects the image that she has carved for herself this week at the Republican National Convention. She wore dresses in bright red, pretty pink and, on Thursday, light blue — a gesture at reaching across the political aisle?

But she might have to go deeper into the White House — all the way into Michelle Obama's closet — to find the outfits that will likely become the benchmark for a modern, stylish political wife.

"Ann Romney might have consciously or unconsciously taken a cue from Michelle. Maybe Ann, if she becomes first lady, can take more chances thanks to Michelle," said Sharon Graubard, senior vice president and fashion director of Stylesight, a New York-based trend forecasting and analysis firm.

Chic sheaths and shirtdresses instead of sometimes matronly pantsuits or mid-calf skirtsuits? Obama largely made them acceptable and respectable, Graubard said. Same goes for bold printed fabrics and trend-right accessories, including the jeweled belt that Romney wore around her waist for with her Oscar de la Renta red, shiny shantung-silk dress for her big speech to the convention delegates Tuesday night in Tampa, Fla. As her husband accepted the GOP nomination, she looked on in a fitted dress with a banded waist, complemented by several bracelets and a big brooch.

"If you look at Ann Romney and Janna Ryan, it's hard to look at any potential first lady and not think of the impact that Michelle Obama has had," said Kate Betts, fashion editor and author of "Everyday Icon: Michelle Obama and the Power of Style."

Not that Obama always gets it right. On Wednesday, while Condoleezza Rice took the stage in Tampa in a blush-colored satin suit, Obama appeared on "Late Night with David Letterman" in a black ensemble with a tank-style top and high-waist belt that the style blog on The Huffington Post called "peculiar."

But, Betts said, "The only reason we're talking about their fashion at the RNC at all is because of Michelle Obama. Otherwise, we hadn't talked about 'fashion' in the White House since Nancy Reagan."

Working women, in particular, can take the cue that it's OK to have flair and still be taken seriously, experts agree.

Generally, however, Betts said, the fashion industry doesn't pay much mind to political figures because they don't take risks because they want to be approachable to the greatest possible number of people. Obama, however, embraced early on the idea of personal style — and it has rubbed off on Republicans and Democrats, she said.

"Ann Romney was dressing for herself and wearing what she felt comfortable in, and you can see that," Betts said.

Romney's four-digit de la Renta dress generated some chatter that she's not living the life — or living within the budget — of an everywoman. She's donned other expensive designer duds throughout the campaign. Obama has many top-tier, pricey clothes, too, but she makes a point, and so do the labels she's wearing, to note that she embraces the idea of "high-low" dressing, taking a designer piece and mixing it with another from a mass retailer.

Janna Ryan, however, watched her husband speak at the convention in a $169 emerald-green sheath from Talbots, and the floral dress she wore the day Paul Ryan was introduced as Mitt Romney's No. 2 came from Kohl's Dana Buchman collection.

"I think the women at the Republican convention were being appropriate, and they looked exactly as one would expect them to look," observed Fern Mallis, host of the SiriusXM satellite radio show "Fashion Insiders with Fern Mallis."

Clothing, Mallis says, is an important choice in campaigns. Appearance certainly is a factor in forming first impressions and longer lasting opinions, she says.

So what does that leave style-watchers saying about Romney?

"Ann is doing it right," said Stylesight's Graubard, who calls it "an expensive suburban look."She added: "She's humanizing her husband, and she looks clean and friendly. Someone in our office said she looks like the Million-Dollar Mom."

Maybe we'll get some dresses back with sleeves now that well toned arms in vintage retro $$$$$ garments are going to be voted out.

Someone is IMO reading to much into Ann Romney's speech. I mean the color of her dress is a signal of some kind!

Someone is trying to show how deeply insightful they are...and someone should hire them for large amounts of money.

Sometimes a Blue dress is just a blue dress.

 

 

I think what this really was, was a slam against Bill Clinton, and everyone who supported him him during his impeachment troubles! Blue Dress....Monica Lewinsky...think about it.

Don't stop me I am On A Roll! Blue Dress....Monica Lewinsky....Jews...Book of Mormon!

I tell ya I am DEEP and Insightful! Someone should give me a large Bag-O-Money for my analysis. Quick some get ahold of MSNBC!

A gun was left unattended on Mitt Romney’s charter plane by a member of the U.S. Secret Service on Wednesday as the GOPpresidential nominee flew to Indiana for a campaign rally.

 

During a flight from Tampa to Indianapolis, the weapon was discovered in the lavatory by a CBS News reporter, who alerted agents on the flight, according to an account posted on the television network’s website.

 

An agent immediately retrieved the gun. It’s unclear how long the firearm was left unattended. The agent, who travels with Romney for weeks at a time as a member of his protective detail, was not on the return flight to Tampa in the evening.

 

Romney has travelled with armed Secret Service agents since February. His wife, Ann, just received a detail on Friday. Such protection is typical for presidential candidates and their spouses.

HBO's '41' airs on CNN Saturday, Sept. 1 at 8:00pm ET&PT

 

Produced for HBO and written and directed by Jeffrey Roth and executive produced by Jerry Weintraub, '41' was filmed over a 17-month period and tells George Herbert Walker Bush’s story in his own words – providing an intimate glimpse of the life of the 41st president of the United States.

 

Beginning with his childhood memories from time spent at his grandfather’s home at Walker’s Point in Maine, to his experiences as an 18-year-old Naval aviator during World War II, to being a Texas oil man, his time in the U.S. Congress, serving as President Nixon’s Ambassador to China, and ultimately, to his service as vice president and president of the United States, this film spans the very full life of the now 88-year-old former President Bush. Now the Bush family patriarch, the 41st President of the United States, reflects on the highs and lows of his life, from his summer compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, and his presidential library in Texas, with contributions and moving recollections shared with his beloved wife of 67 years, Barbara Bush, and including the presidency of his son, George W. Bush, and his own last election against President Bill Clinton, whom he now counts as a friend.
