So I was watching the “frammin’ and bammin’ and bangin’” of NASCAR Sprint Cup at Bristol, Tennessee. After a 10 car pileup the TV cameras were huddled outside the medical clinic awaiting the drivers’ exit and getting the interviews. In the background of the TV shot there was a door to the medical clinic. On the door of the medical clinic I saw this logo:

Being a political junkie I thought “WHAT THE F? Did some moonbat sneak a Obama logo onto the door of the medical clinic?” After closer look I see it is the logo of Wellmont Health System, operator of several hospitals in the Tri-Cities region of NE Tennessee and SW Virginia.

Though it does make one wonder how uncanny this logo is similar to the now well known logo of B. Hussein Obama. The blue sky, the rising white light over the horizon, and the radiance over the earth. Only difference is in the Wellmont logo it’s rising over mountains and in the BHO logo it’s over I guess what one would call “rolling prairie” - though I’m not sure how much prairie there is on the southside of Chicago.

This is from the CNN YouTube Democrat Debate. Plugs sticks his foot in his mouth at the 1:20 mark of this video

So not only are we “bitter” according to B. Hussein Obama, we’re also “mentally unstable”.

Always colorful, former Democrat Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives John Gregg definitely lays claim to the quote of the day in the Indy Star this morning regarding Senator Evan Bayh not receiving the vice presidential nod:

Former House Speaker John Gregg was blunt as he grimly joked about his disappointment: “Let me get the noose off of my neck.”

“I’m sad for him. I’m sad for the Hoosier state. I’m sad for the Democratic Party,” Gregg said.

In the same article, Gregg later acknowledges his lack of enthusiasm for the Biden pick.

I wonder how Indiana Democrats feel about this concession that Bayh’s non-pick it not good for their chances in the November election for statewide and legislative races. Jill Long will have a hard time boosting the spirits of her base after so much was staked on the Bayh announcement that did not happen.

The next couple of months could be pretty fun after all.

It’s gonna be a “clean and articulate” campaign, I’m sure.

It’s over! We finally know. Plenty has been blogged/reported/tweeted, Birch’s boy, I’m sure, shed many a tear (though the coif remained resilient as ever) over not getting picked and for some reason, Republicans and Democrats rejoiced at the choice of Senator Joe Biden at Barack’s running mate.

Why could a liberal Democrat senator from Delaware bring these two groups together?  It’s because we each got what we wanted.

Obama and the nutroots got their attack dog (rather than the lapdog Bayh would have been) who has the experience in foreign policy that Obama sorely lacks, he’s a vocal critic of the war even though he initially supported it, plus he brings more experience in general to the ticket. Yay, for Democrats.

What did Republicans get that makes us almost giddy over the choice of Joe Biden?

Fellow contributor Scott Fluhr notes over at Hoosier Pundit (via the Campaign Spot)

It’s hard for Obama supporters to play the age card any longer, as their potential veep is all of six years younger than McCain.

The candidate of hope and change selected a running mate who was first elected to public office when Obama was 9 years old. He was elected to the Senate when Obama was 11.

The bottom of the ticket running on change has been in Washington forever.

He voted for the Iraq War — which Obama touted as the most important decision since the end of the Cold War.

Biden supports a ban on partial-birth abortion. He supports deploying U.S. troops to Darfur in Sudan.

His mouth will be an absolute time bomb. Will he refer to Delaware as a “slave state” again?

And of course, there’s this:

From the NRA-ILA:

The American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA) is once again trying to confuse hunters into believing two bold lies: that the NRA does not support hunting, and that AHSA and the Sierra Club do.
