Wonkette

OH NOEZ, EARTHQUAKE! Yes there was an Earth Quake at Wonkette’s West Coast Headquarters. But as usual, Drudge’s West Coast Headquarters had it posted before we even came back inside. 5.8 magnitude, down in Los Angeles. (This also caused the LA Times to go bankrupt and vanish.) And now there are chickenshit little aftershocks about every 45 seconds. WHY DOES BARACK OBAMA AND HIS GOD, “ISLAMIC,” HATE AMERICA? [USGS]

Back when he was a young pup, Barack Obama went to college. Some of his former classmates remember he was a supernice guy who stood up to menacing bums; others say he was aloof; and still others ask, “Barry who?” Such was the wonderful enigmatic palimpsest of Barack Obama back in the days when he wore “$5 military-surplus khakis and used leather jackets” and roomed with some guy who later became a loser due to his cocaine addiction.

The glorious Paultard Freedom Train rolls on, but without Bill Johnson, a racist nut who is running for Superior Court judge in Los Angeles. Johnson wrote the (as yet unratified) “Pace Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution, which would’ve limited American citizenship to white people and octoroons. Ron Paul’s people say “Whoopsy, didn’t notice that,” and have now un-endorsed Johnson. MORE »

The accompanying image comes from “Jack” in L.A., who writes:

I live in LA, and I have been noticing the Paultards littering my beautiful city with their Ron Paul “Revolution” campaign signs in peculiar places. Attached is a photo of a Ron Paul campaign sign that has been heavily “tagged” by a member of a local Crip set near the Fairfax Ave. I-10 Freeway off-ramp. Having lived in LA all my life, I possess a decent understanding about tagging/graffiti, and this particular tagger was reclaiming his/her turf from the Paultards. Starting gang wars is not the the intended reaction the Ron Paul street team expected with their urban/guerrilla PR campaign.

The Los Angeles Times endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination today, as well as John “The Liberal Who Proudly Wants To Occupy Iraq Permanently” McCain for the Republicans. Barack, the editorial board notes, is “a man of African descent, born in the nation’s youngest state, with a childhood spent partly in Asia, among Muslims.” Indeed, his time “among Muslims” is precisely why he’s a fundamentalist Islamic Muslim terrorist today.

Hey look, Hillary and Barry are minding their manners. Probably at 9, right when Lost starts, they’ll fight like The Others, against The Other Others (blacks)! Eh? Eh? MORE »

Fifth debate in the last two weeks. Maybe fourth. Whatever. There have been more than zero, and now we’ve got our last one before Super Tuesday, until the other one that will probably happen before Super Tuesday. How will Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fare in this important (Barack is almost even with Hillary in California, says some poll!) debate? Whatever happens, this is an historic occasion: the Democratic nomination for president will not go to a white man this year. Instead, it’s a choice between two black women.

They hate each other. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton each wish the other would die, and then maybe shut up too. Tonight they will debate each other in Los Angeles, the population of which is 50% black, 50% Hispanic and mostly white. Everyone’s race is on the line. Everyone’s gender is on the line. I will be liveblogging it at 8 p.m. EST. Everything possible is happening tonight. MORE »

Barack Obama raised $32 million in the month of January alone. As Politico’s Ben Smith notes, “That would be more than $1 million a day.” Indeed, it is actually $750 million dollars a day. Barry also brought in 170,000 new donors, a.k.a. “Suckers for Hope.” This explains how he’s been able to buy such heavy advertising in the expensive Los Angeles market, with Change. [The Trail, Ben Smith]

CNN will partner with the Los Angeles Times and Politico to put on the last two debates of the primary season — Republicans on Jan. 30 and Demrats on Jan. 31 in LA, right before Super Tubersday. So if giving CNN yet another chance to screw up major debates is the first mistake, then allowing Wolf Blitzer to moderate one of them (Anderson Cooper the other, meh) is the second, third and fourth mistakes. It’s also interesting that CNN would partner with the LA Times, which called them the “Corrupt News Network” over the weekend. MORE »
