Michael Ledeen linked to this column about Obama, his wife, and his mother. You must read it. You will know more than anybody else at the office about Obama.
And what you learn will be scary.

Obama the Surrender Monkey
If you had just told me he said this I’d think it were a parody. But BlackFive links to the video.
If McCain doesn’t hammer the crap out of him on this I’ll know he’s not in it to win. This is just terrifying. Obama makes The Nasty Little Man look like Barry Goldwater. At least the peanut farmer didn’t try to give away the nukes.
Neither Gods Nor Goo
A good article on irrational fears of nanotechnology is up at Reason.
In the meantime, Leigh contents himself with miracles like making water droplets run uphill, thanks to tiny, twisting “motors” created by simple chemical reactions between a few atoms. Similarly, the Livingston-based company Memsstar is creating more efficient surfaces for industrial coatings and wafers by, for instance, finding ways to keep them dry with microscopic gyroscopes. Leigh recognizes that this is “complete sci-fi stuff,” but he suggests it’s a wonder we haven’t made more use of such processes before. “Nature uses molecular machines to do everything…every single biological process,” he says. “We used controlled molecular motion for nothing. Nature isn’t using it for nothing. When mankind learns to make molecular machines, it’s going to change everything.” He expects that revolution within a decade.
Why I’ll Vote for McCain
Our choice this fall will be between a bad president and a disaster. Here are the two points which decide it for me:
McCain will try to win the war. Barak wants to lose it.
There is a chance that McCain will appoint good judges to the Supreme Court. There is no chance that Obama will.
There you have it in a nutshell. It doesn’t matter that McCain will spend four years poking his finger in our eye. Frankly, he’s just a slightly farther Left version of George W. Bush. And while W has not been a very good president, at least he wants to win the war and appoints (pace Meyers) good judges.
Think about the long term implications.
