That’s Why They Call it MASTERcard
You know, I might just be able to get into this whole Obama thing, if a little late.
But if my main concern was that he wouldn’t keep our country safe, I have to re-think that. I was worried that the thugs, goons, and hoods of the world would beat him up for his lunch money and then push him over while one of them kneeled behind him.
But, really, are the like of Putin, Ahmadinejad, Kim, et al, any nastier than the likes of Wright, Ayers, and Rezko? Of course not. If Obama can convince the mentors of his past that he’s the reincarnation of Eldridge Cleaver, then convince the rest of us that he’s the reincarnation of Cleavon Little, I have no doubt he can convince the scumbags of the world not to [bleep] with the reincarnation of Clyde Barrow.
Can the Democrats’ “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” file get any bigger? Thanks to Jeff Poor at the Business and Media Institute, we now know that the Democratic National Committee is employing the very data mining techniques to build its party base that Democrat leaders have assailed when used by the Bush administration to prevent terrorist attacks.

[Howard] Dean revealed his party used credit card data to predict voting outcomes. However, Democrats and the media have been highly critical of credit card companies that provide that data.
“We now can do what they can do,” Dean said. “We have your credit card data like they do. They’ve been for years doing something that we, until 2006, weren’t able to do. We can predict with 85 percent accuracy how you’re going to vote based on your credit card data without bothering to see what party you’re in – the Secretary of State’s office.”
“They’ve been doing it for a long time,” Dean said of Republicans. “No wonder we’ve been throwing rocks at the bottom of the well. These guys – we can argue about how well they run the country, but they certainly know how to run elections.”
Dean’s admission that his party is using credit card data in elections is curious because a plank in the Democratic Party’s 2008 platform vows to regulate that very instrument through a “Credit Card Bill of Rights”…
Yeah, well, Democrats once supported campaign finance reform, too. Six hundred million dollars ago.
Now, I know you’re going to object that Obama is nowhere mentioned in this story, so why am I tying him to this bald-faced hypocrisy? Fair point. So let’s go to the president-elect for his outrage and dudgeon.
Sir? [crickets]
If the Democratic administration treats Hugo Chavez with the same contempt and derision they treated Sarah Palin, we may have nothing to worry about. Look for Chavez to be finalist for Secretary of Education, however.
