Happy Friday! I'm not going to be posting much today because I'm getting ready to go to Delaware for the weekend for a family wedding. Fun times! But here are some things I've read this morning that are worth attention.
The Washington Post Editorial Board announced their endorsement of Barack Obama. Not entirely surprising, given that they are totally in the tank, just like the rest of the liberal media, for Obama. But in all seriousness, the actual essay outlining why they support Obama is an excellent comprehensive, yet compact, piece that seems like an even consideration of both candidates. It's a great piece of support for any Obama supporter looking for a good way to explain their choice.
There's a lot of fishy stuff going on with ACORN, the FBI, and the DOJ. TPM has been on this like white on rice for a while now, reminding us that the whole DOJ attorney firings two years ago occurred because certain attorneys were given the task of investigating voter fraud in hotly contested regions of the 2006 elections. The attorneys who did not find any evidence of wrongdoing in those regions were fired. Reminiscent of that situation, now there is word that the FBI will be investigating ACORN and their involvement in voter registration in, again, hotly contested districts for this year's election. For a good and simple explanation of the ACORN controversy, read this editorial in the NYT today.
For some laughs, watch the videos of the candidates at the Al Smith dinner last night. Good times.
This weekend, Sarah Palin will appear on SNL. Penn State plays Michigan in the homecoming game tomorrow at 4:30 at Beaver Stadium. The Eagles have a bye this weekend, which is good for Brian Westbrook to rest up. And the Phillies don't start the World Series until Wednesday. Their opponent is yet to be decided, as the Sox came back in their game against the Rays last night to bring the series to 3-2. Keep on playing you guys, we don't mind if you go to 7.
I'm also taking suggestions for what I can concentrate my brain on after Nov. 5. It's pretty soon and by then both baseball and the election will be over and everything I've cared way too much about in the last year will be gone.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
