- People in the Middle for Obama
Errol Morris, former crime detective, documentary filmmaker and creator of the "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" commercials, hits it home with this new "switcher" campaign "Between the far right and the extreme left are people in the Middle. We asked these common-sense Americans why they're voting for Barack Obama". the videos are awesome. and far from feeling put together by a political campaign operation, which they weren't. - What Sarah Palin Is Saying – Anil Dash
linguistics applied to Sarah Palin's deplorable speeches: "Put simply, if Palin says "Barack Obama consorts with terrorists", she is making the assertion that he supports acts of violence against American citizens and the media will refute this obviously false assertion. If, instead, Palin says he "pals around with terrorists", she's used code-switching to mask the seriousness of the charge, obfuscating her meaning enough to get away with making an assertion that inevitably calls for the imprisonment or even assassination of a political opponent."

the list of popular names is searchable by year. awesome. a commenter on this post 10 ways to avoid hipster baby names (atrocious article, good comments) points to the Social Security admin's list of popular baby names. The commenter's advice is to look at the 500 most popular names from last year and stay way from the top 50, and stay away from the bottom 200. pick a name from the 50th to 300th. and then you know you'll be safe. great resource. - MTV MUSIC
