Socialist intellectual Cornel West to speak at GW
Daily Links
Nate Silver goes in depth on the generic ballot numbers and what they mean for Democratic Party prospects this November. The prognosis isn’t good for the Dems: And what if, for example, the Rasmussen case comes into being? Rasmussen has the Democrats losing the generic ballot by 9 points (and has had similar numbers...

The Daily Links Strike Back
The Daily Links are back! Well that’s the plan anyways. Every day I’ll try and bring something funny, insightful, provocative, or just plain newsworthy to the GW Patriot blog. I’ll make every effort to resist posting from more “mainstream” sources, but if it will spark a lively debate among GW students and Patriot staff...

Why So Socialist?
The Obama-Joker posters have sprung up on our own campus. I give it about a day before all the Obamatards tear them down, they are even more sensitive than Bushies. H/T to Patrick J. Ford

A slice of delicious irony
After spending the better part of four years excoriating his predecessor’s foreign policy, who would have guessed that just eight months into Barack Obama’s presidency, some of the liberals who clamored for a new direction in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the War on Terror would advise their dear leader to seek the advice of the...

The Best Address
While you’re waiting for Barack Obama to deliver his (no doubt cookie-cutter, focus group-tested) inaugural address on Tuesday, I offer you the best first inaugural address evar, given at a moment of such importance as to make our present “crisis” situation look…pretty mundane.

The Colonialist–having just recently come out of the closet as an overtly probama blog–has already posted the details. Best of luck to the CDs, but I have little interest in a “chance to live out...

Barack Obama is Jesus Christ.
Srsly. In other news: no governor has ever done anything more noteworthy than George “Segregation Forever” Wallace. Or maybe Pontius Pilate (who killed Jesus Christ). Except Pilate, (who definitely killed Jesus Christ, by the way) was more of a Prefect rather than a Governor, as far as we know. Did I mention that he...

Mandatory Volunteerism
Thirteenth Amendment jurisprudence isn’t exactly a buzzworthy field these days, but if the group Service Nation (“‘Service Nation’ is a place where sacrifice is a core ideal of citizenship”), Barack Obama, and John McCain have their way, it just might become one. Calls for the establishment of some sort of mandatory national service (whether...

"What’s black and white and red all over?"
Sympathizing with the plight of the ordinary Americans (e.g., Jay Leno and David Letterman) searching in vain for a way to make fun of him, Barack Obama has released a list of (five) jokes about himself that are O.K. to tell. They’re all funny in a I-would-totally-laugh-at-the-sort-of-person-that-would-laugh-at-these-jokes kind of way. Of course, it was...
