Palin Assails Obama at Tea Party Meeting – Readers’ Comments – NYTimes.com.
Over 1100 comments to this story in the NYT since this morning and overwhelmingly they are all in agreement that Ms. Palin is an opportunistic, narcissistic, self promoting moron who panders to the lowest common denominator and preys upon the fears and prejudices of the electorate. I would imagine that John McCain has nightmares about unleashing this shrill harpie on the world.

Do we really want people who dress up in costume running the government. Check out the expression on the reporter’s face. He looks on the verge of bursting into laughter.
Oregon Voters Approve Tax Increase – NYTimes.com.
Congratulations to the good citizens of Oregon for having the common sense to do the right thing. Maybe the Tea Party morons can take a lesson from this. Raising taxes on those who can afford to pay them is not the end of the world or the the hallmark of Socialism. It just makes sense.

One in 8 Million – New York Characters in Sound and Images – The New York Times.
This is an amazing video piece on a number of levels. The images and production values are haunting. The story articulated by the young man is very compelling and showcases a well spoken, intelligent and articulate 14 year old who is living and thriving in NYC. So many kids his age coming from separated or divorced parents spend their adolescence being angry and resentful. Joshua and one must assume his parents have opted to manage this emotionally chaotic time with grace, humor and love for their son. This is readily apparent from just watching this short but poignant video. Watch it.
An interesting piece in today’s New York Times concerning PhotoShop and the retouching business coming under fire. Be sure and watch the video too. Point, Shoot, Retouch and Label? – NYTimes.com.
