After enjoying a gigantic bowl of Pho Time, I walked out the door and picked up a free Vietnamese magazine called Viet My to check out what it has to say about politic.

After flipping through twenty pages filled with ads, the first story titled “Barack Hussien Obama Voi Giac Mo Xa Hoi Chu Nghia Ngay Tai Hoa Ky” written by Ly Dai Nguyen. In the article Mr. Ly accused Obama of “wealth spreading” and linking his tax plan to the Vietnamese communist. The term he used is “Mancong Hanoi.” Mr. Ly argues that by helping the poor, Obama is destroying (“tieu diet”) the rich. I am not sure how much Mr. Ly is making, but if he writes this kind of article for this magazine, which distributes freely at every shop in Eden, I don’t think he could benefit McCain’s tax plan that favors the rich. Mr. Ly also pointed out that Collin Powell’s endorsement for Obama was simply because of their skin color even though General Powell had eloquently explained his support of Obama.

Another article by Tam Viet titled “Mot Loi Cong-Dao Cho Lien-Danh McCain-Palin” also criticized General Powell for endorsing Obama based on race. Mr. Tam first dismissed the Washington Post as untrustworthy, but then quoted the Post later showing the poll favored McCain even after General Powell publicly endorsed Obama. These guys has the audacity of accusing General Powell for supporting his own race instead of political issues, yet they are the ones that endorsing McCain simply just because of his history with the Viet Nam War instead of the issues. They even do it blatantly without even giving any explanation.

After reading these two articles, I could see why the older folks like our parents are supporting McCain. I don’t blame the parents because they get the false information from a magazine like this. I just tossed this cheap shit right into the recycle bin.

A hilarious prank from a French-Canadian comedian impersonating French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Palin was totally clueless.

Standing in the rain, Obama’s powerful words ring through: “Yes, do some community organizing.”

A woman who only handed candies out to McCain kids. Obama kids got turned away. These are kids and it was Halloween for crying out loud.

The endorsement McCain has been waiting for and even Obama congratulates him:

I’d like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it. That endorsement didn’t come easy. Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washington’s biggest cheerleader for going to war in Iraq, and supports economic policies that are no different from the last eight years. So Senator McCain worked hard to get Dick Cheney’s support.

But here’s my question for you, Colorado: do you think Dick Cheney is delighted to support John McCain because he thinks John McCain’s going to bring change? Do you think John McCain and Dick Cheney have been talking about how to shake things up, and get rid of the lobbyists and the old boys club in Washington?

Sarah Palin told a conservative radio host that the media is violating her First Amendment rights for criticizing her attacks on Obama:

“If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations,” Palin told host Chris Plante, “then I don’t know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.”

You can hear the clip here. Palin is so dumb that it hurts.

Former Reagan chief of staff Ken Duberstein:

I think it has very much undermined the whole question of John McCain’s judgment. You know what most Americans I think realized is that you don’t offer a job, let alone the vice presidency, to a person after one job interview. Even at McDonald’s, you’re interviewed three times before you get a job.

McCain’s poor judgement shows that he is ill-fitted to be president.

I actually enjoy the duet rendition of “Con Duong Tinh Ta Di” from Duc Tuan and Nguyen Thao better Duc Tuan’s solo on his album. Vo Thien Thanh gives the tune a nice touch of bossa nova. Tuan Ngoc’s “Duong Em Di” and “Tinh Cam” are pretty good too.

John Ridley argues that Palin could have been the Republican’s Obama and “Palin 2.0 will be a force to be reckoned with.” Comparing Palin to Obama is an insult. Yeah, I said it. It needs to be said and I am not being sexist either. Let’s just hope that we won’t see Palin 2.0 in the future. In fact, let’s just hope that we won’t see her again after November 4th.

Fox News Business‘s Neil Cavuto rips McCain on his shifting positions:

You rail against big government, yet continue to push cockamamie spending plans that make a mockery of it. That’s why you’re losing right now, Senator McCain. Not because you don’t have the courage of your convictions. But because on economic matters, you have no convictions.
