White Chocolate Retires
My favourite highlight is around the 1:30 mark where J-Will puts a brutal cross-over onto all-star defender Gary Payton and left him grasping at air.
On a side note, I really dig rap music without lyrics, case in point is how this instrumental version of 'T.R.O.Y' is infinitely better than the original.

Obama vs McCain - the economy
The Atlantic has two political ads up, the first is Obama's plan for the economy, the second is McCain's.
After watching them who do you think is more serious about addressing the economic issues of the US?
(I'm looking at you Badrabbi...;-)

McCain as Rove
Here is what I think will be the watershed moment of the McCain campaign, the moment where if you will, he has jumped the shark.
Typically you see this kind of thrashing around with whatever lies you can muster only in the dying moments of a campaign - at the point where the fact that they aren't true has no time to enter the news cycle or penetrate the voters. But McCain's plan coming out of the Sarah Palin bounce (and soon to be 'thud' as she is revealed to be woefully inadequate as a 2nd in command) was simply to smear and smear again - which isn't a plan so much as an admission of defeat by other means. Even the typically stalwart right wing demagogues have found this level of sleaze in the McCain ads to be troubling.
Afterall, what does it say when Karl Rove thinks you've gone to far?

Sarah Palin is Sean Avery
In Nate Silver's world, she's the fourth line agitator who takes the star player off their game by making it about her glove to the face rather than about scoring.
Silver's blog, FiveThirtyEight, is by far the best electoral projection coverage running.
For those of you have bets with me regarding Obama's margin of victory being greater or lesser than 15 electoral votes, I am standing by my revised bet and am willing to double down on Obama by 50+
