"Kite Runner" Author Blasts McCain, Palin: They Lack "Moral Courage"
I prefer to discuss politics through my novels, but I am truly dismayed these days. Twice last week alone, speakers at McCain-Palin rallies have referred to Sen. Barack Obama, with unveiled scorn, as Barack Hussein Obama.

Prediction: 'NY Post' Fires Editor Over Chimp 'Toon
New York Post editorial cartoonist Sean Delonas has drawn plenty of offensive panels over the years, but Michael Wolff thinks yesterday's -- featuring a dead chimpanzee that may or may not have been meant to symbolize Barack Obama -- will have big-time consequences. That's because Post owner Rupert Murdoch, upon the workings of whose mind Wolff considers himself something of an expert, is an Obamaphile."Murdoch, I can make an educated guess, is livid," writes Wolff. "And Col Allan is shortly on...

Here’s one of the more unlikable people we’ve heard of for the first time today, CNBC’s Rick Santelli, at some trading floor in Chicago, going *apeshit* over Barack Obama’s $75 billion mortgage plan to keep “the losers” in their homes. Maybe Obama’s plan isn’t so great, who knows, but one thing is clear, and that’s that Rick Santelli hates poor people — and by poor people we mean the bottom 50-90% of per capita income earners.
