Since You Won't See It On CNN or MSNBC

Apparently John Galt has donated to the Obama campaign. Why is this newsworthy, you ask?

John Galt is a character in an Ayn Rand novel.

The Obama campaign has been taking donations from people who don't exist, with fake addresses, but from the same credit card, in its online fundraising. Apparently they have disabled any and all security for this kind of thing on their website (this was the case earlier in the day).

How much of last months $150 million that he raked in will have to be sent back? How many people donated multiple times? Why is there no media investigation?

I can't answer the first two but the third is pretty obvious.

National Review has been all over this today. Check this out on NRO.

Biden Speaks Again...

"The fact of the matter is, the only thing succeeding in Iraq right now is the plan that Barack and I talked about that Petraeus is implementing -- giving local control in the very areas with a limited central government."

So when was the complete pullout started? Did I miss this? When did Iraq get divided into three ethnic states?

Lies, damned lies, but no statistics. Woe be unto the press member who reports this Plugs whopper.

You Know, I Did It As A Joke

Barry Obama, Peace Be Upon Him, recently said he'd been the author of the Stimulus Package that went into effect over the summer. He was so instrumental, in fact, that he didn't even show up to vote on the measure, as he's been campaigning for President for about 2/3 of his Senate career (which is almost as much as Joe Biden has-badum-ching! Hey, remember Joe Biden?). If I was still doing the "Claim of the Day," this would be a good one to chalk up.

But why is it like this with Dems? Can't they just talk without the grandiose posturing and fact-stretching? Whether it was Misadventures on a Helicopter (Hil-Rod and Biden), Inventing the Internet, Christmas in Cambodia, or the numerous whoppers that the Golden Boy has served up, they all seem to want to be such a part of history that they write themselves in when there's no need to.

Obama is no different. He said his parents were brought together by the March on Selma-except he was 4 when it happened. Then there was the bill his Banking Committee authored...except he's not on the Senate Banking Committee. Kennedy and Kruschev had tea and crumpets and prevented WWIII...except the meeting actually made the Cuban Missile Crisis worse. The Berlin Wall was brought down by people working together (I suppose as long as he's talking about Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II, he's right).

It's a pathological need of Dems, one that I can't understand. Of course, most of them don't really understand history, so what can you expect when they invent their own?
