Obama is Hitler? WTF? And no doubt, the powerful orator – like Obama, like Martin Luther King, like Ronald Reagan, like Jim Jones, and Hitler – can move the masses to action. But this is where the analogy ends.

We Lost the Battle Against Prop 8, but Ronald Reagan just might help us win the war Gay rights advocates may have lost the battle, but are winning the war. And conservatives, who truly believe in small government, should help in this battle.

The Savage Nation Party? Conservative commentator Michael Savage's vitriol with the Republican ticket speaks to the fragmentation of support for McCain in the "die hard" conservative base he speaks to daily, and more broadly, it suggests another sign of McCain's slowing momentum. But don't applaud yet.

Palin: Rebel Without a Brain Palin framed herself as a rebel last night, as a revolutionary who is qualified to change the culture of Washington because she doesn't understand it. The rebellion she's leading? To make erudition not only a prerequisite for high office.

My Students Have Cooler Phones than I Today's American college student has more technology in her pocket than some small African country you've never heard of, which could easily be looked up in seconds on Wikipedia (if someone was actually bored enough in class to do this). The author, a college English instructor, wonders about why his students have such awesome technology - and why it is so, so much better than his clunker, which can only make calls (OMG!).
