Republicans fear him
-GOP a-scared of Obama's $-
Writes MoJo's Jonathan Stein, "Good God. Look at these numbers from Politico..."
To which I answer, "Will do." Turns out that Obama doesn't just have McCain on the run in the money race, he's got the entire Republican party on the run. In the upcoming months, John McCain will have about $85 million to spend on his campaign. By projecting a very modest average gift (total dollars raised divided by the number of donors), Obama can expect to raise $47 million -- a week. It gets better.
According to the report, "The Republican National Committee, which is charged with closing the gap between McCain and Obama, has $40 million in cash. Obama raised almost as much — $31 million – from just his small donors in the month of February. His total for the month, $57 million, exceeded the RNC's cash balance." Still not done.
"Obama has more than 1.5 million donors; McCain has a few hundred thousand," we're told.
Of course, it doesn't help any that McCain's converted his campaign stash into nickels and buried it in mayonnaise jars in his yard. That's why when you walk by his house, he raps on his window and yells, "You kids stay off my lawn!" (MoJo Blog)
-Headline of the day-
"Science World Won't be Sorry to See Bush Go."
Mostly because Bush is against this whole "science" fad. The Decider prefers to rely on the very best knowledge of the first century -- which was why NASA had to refer to the Big Bang as the "Big Bang theory." Every good Christian knows that "theory" is synonymous with "godless, secular lie" -- the baby Jesus says so right there in the Bible.
There's also been political interference with scientific findings by the Food and Drug Administration and research into climate change.
Science? Who needs it? We've figured out how to make nukes and that's all the science we need to know. (Wired)
-[Fark] Headline of the day-
"Philadelphia-area atheists set up billboard to attract more non-believers, neglecting to tell them atheism has no holidays, 13-year-old girls to marry or 72 beautiful virgins in heaven if you blow up."
See, that's why there aren't more atheists -- not enough selling points for crazy people.
Actual story at the Philadelphia Inquirer. (Fark)
