The Lyndon Larouche campaign uses subtlety and rational reasoning
And here you thought it was only in the United States that you could find the crazies.
Sure, Hitler killed millions of Jews and all, but Obama told NASA they couldn’t send people to the moon again! IT’S THE SAME THING, PEOPLE!
The Gazette’s Phil Carpenter has a cute little video of a group of Montrealers who headed to Washington, D.C., to watch Obama’s inauguration yesterday with Rev. Darryl Gray.
Translated copies of Barack Obama's two books - Dreams of My Father and The Audacity of Hope - are on sale
I didn’t realize these books were even translated into French.
What amuses me most, though, is that someone felt it necessary to add messages to the books pointing out that Obama is “le nouveau président des états-unis”. Is there someone out there that doesn’t know he won? And if there is, why would this person be interested in reading these books?
Some other Canadian Page Ones can be found at Newseum’s site, which also has a special video on Obama-related newspaper front pages (if you can watch it, the site is very slow).
Among my recommendations for U.S. covers:
The links are now all old, but the covers have been archived here.
Favourite headline, only because nobody else used it: “Tide of hope“, from the St. Petersburg Times.
Well here’s a shocker: The New York Times endorses Barack Obama. Really? The paper that hasn’t endorsed a Republican for president since Dwight Eisenhower in 1956 is lining up behind Obama?
At least it provides a history of its endorsements for us news junkies to feast on. Some of its favoured candidates have included losers Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and John Kerry, as well as Republican Thomas Dewey, who sadly did not defeat Truman.
Well, at least Ron Howard’s endorsement is cute. Will the Fonz vote put Obama over the top?
Oh, and his middle name is Hussein. Therefore he’s evil.
It’s pretty crazy how issues can be taken to their extremes in anonymous attack ads.
