A fantastic design for Housing Works from Jason Santa Maria. The homepage is striking with the use of big images and the interior pages are clean and organized.

Washington Post:

The choice is made easy in part by Mr. McCain’s disappointing campaign, above all his irresponsible selection of a running mate who is not ready to be president. It is made easy in larger part, though, because of our admiration for Mr. Obama and the impressive qualities he has shown during this long race. Yes, we have reservations and concerns, almost inevitably, given Mr. Obama’s relatively brief experience in national politics. But we also have enormous hopes.

Palin supporters at rally: “Someone could drop him and there would be no witnesses.”

Letterman made a connection between McCain and Liddy. McCain approved himself for being friend with Liddy, but disapproved Obama with Ayers. What a whippersnapper McCain is.

NPR profiles my lady O’Day who had “made a profound impact on jazz with her exceptional range of improvisation and her skillful interpretion of lyrics.” She still is awesome.

A powerful ad on abortion.

Andrew Sullivan:

From the first few days of using the form, I was hooked. The simple experience of being able to directly broadcast my own words to readers was an exhilarating literary liberation. Unlike the current generation of writers, who have only ever blogged, I knew firsthand what the alternative meant.

Here are a few absurd, racist comments from the people at the rallies who McCain is so proud of:

“I’m afraid if he wins, the blacks will take over. He’s not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?”

“When you got a negro running for president, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.”

“He seems like a sheep – or a wolf in sheep’s clothing to be honest with you. And I believe Palin – she’s filled with the Holy Spirit, and I believe she’s gonna bring honesty and integrity to the White House.”

“He’s related to a known terrorist, for one.”

“He is friends with a terrorist of this country!”

“He must support terrorists! You know, uh, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me is Obama.”

“Just the whole, Muslim thing, and everything, and everybody’s still kinda – a lot of people have forgotten about 9/11, but… I dunno, it’s just kinda… a little unnerving.”

“Obama and his wife, I’m concerned that they could be anti-white. That he might hide that.”

“I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash… because we’re not!”

Come and join me. I really don’t know what to expect. We probably heard enough of policies already. McCain can’t go any lower than he already had. Obama needs to stay on the positive side, which I think he’ll do well.

Why people in Alaska voted for her and why she is not qualified for VP.
