Yes! More Joe the Plumber news!
-----
So Joe's out promoting himself and the unfinished book already on Glenn Beck's radio show (Audio tape below). Don't tell Joe but, frankly, he's museum-grade history as far as 2008 politics are concerned.
But he's still out there talking. Joe admits he's a little more educated than other people about politics. So his insights are worth more. He finds Palin to be "the real deal."

The latest news about The One via that paragon of even handed news treatment, the NY Times: Obama Pledges Public Works on a Vast Scale

Is this about to become a common image on the streets of America?
The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.

Barack Obama swept to victory as the nation's first black president Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. "Change has come," he told a huge throng of cheering supporters.
The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his historic triumph by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states — Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa and more.

Bloggers from around the State are teaming up with the Voter Integrity Project to collect information on Vote Fraud in Ohio. The Voter Integrity Project is supported by the Sam Adams Alliance and while it is a very conservative organization, you would be surprised to find out who they have gone after. Todd Warner Houston is organizing the Ohio effort. It can be read at here:

Interesting story all around:

Perhaps someone from the McCain camp should be assigned to protect Sam from himself when he talks--similar to what they did for Sarah for so long.

Looks like we have some Republican in-fighting with polls not so terrific, and Sarah's venturing off-script. Could be a stellar week for bloopers and fresh SNL material:

Obama's Abortion Extremism
by Robert George
Oct 14, 2008
Sen. Barack Obama's views on life issues ranging from abortion to embryonic stem cell research mark him as not merely a pro-choice politician, but rather as the most extreme pro-abortion candidate to have ever run on a major party ticket.

The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.
Now they’re training for the same mission — with a twist — at home.
But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.

OK, couldn't resist this one. Extremely funny Sarah Palin slideshow that skewers many others besides her:

Governor Sarah Palin, Vice Presidential Candidate, has refused to meet with investigators concerning the TrooperGate issue. Is this a sign of things to come and didn't Kwame do something similar? Do we not learn by other's mistakes?

Is this McCain's viral bait? Should we bite? It is an ad that is running on YouTube right now. If you look at the picture you would think it would be McCain & Lieberman as Pres/VP respectively. Would this be possible?

Obama choose Biden on Saturday morning. What do you think about Joe Biden for VP?

A fundamentalist Christian group that claims to help young people overcome drug and alcohol addiction through Bible study and prayer has given up a federal grant after Americans United for Separation of Church and State protested the funding.

How can our nation expect behavior any better than what we see in daily news stories?  As a nation…we have erased the line that divided right and wrong.  We have decided there is no such thing as absolute truth.  We have abandoned our children for two jobs, big pay checks and big houses…and left them to fend for themselves.  Here are some more examples of the result of our immoral culture:

Here is a list of stories…just from today…that are horrifying.  Our country continually turns away from God…and look at the carnage which has become the norm in American society.  When you remove the Ten Commandments and God as your guide for living…this is what you get.  Thanks for nothing liberals:

I agree that listening to Barak Obama speak is intriguing and exciting to watch.  However, when it comes to the nuts and bolts of the issues…I have to cast my vote for John McCain.  Why?
