Many keystrokes have been logged in recent days reporting on and analyzing Hillary's recent idiotic statement about RFK being assassinated in June 1968. Honestly, I think I've read every single article, too, just because I'm still in disbelief she actually said it. (And because I stupidly missed a flight to a conference in Seattle and couldn't get on stand-by for anything else, thus leaving me with a whole lot of nothing to do this weekend but read media coverage of the election.

They are selling these Obama action figures, with the perfect tag, "The first and only action figure with the power to transform a nation."
Best of all, for every action figure ordered, the folks at jailbreak donate a buck to Obama's campaign.
