Apparently, Mayor Russell Wiseman of Arlington, Tennessee REALLY loves his Charlie Brown specials.

In the opinion of Arlington Mayor Russell Wiseman, President Barack Obama's speech on Tuesday night on the war in Afghanistan was deliberately timed to block the Christian message of the "Peanuts" television Christmas special.

And how did Wiseman express this? He posted it on his Facebook page.

Infochimps.org is doing a great job of showing where the Newspaper Endorsements currently stand.

Current Endorsement Numbers
For Obama: 233 Total Endorsements with 21.7 Million in Circulation
For McCain: 105 Total Endorsements with 7.2 Million in Circulation
Abstaining: 20 Newspapers with 1.7 Million in Circulation
Have Not Come Out Yet: 307 Newspapers with 9.3 Million in Circulation

So Obama has locked up the Circulation Numbers.

We have all seen the joke was that Barbara West / Joe Biden Interview. Now it has been reveal by the fine folks at Blue Tidal Wave that Mrs. West's husband is a GOP Media Consultant. So it is becoming clearer and clearer where her "questions" came from.

On the Ben Smith blog over at Politico.com, there was a letter sent in telling the story of Three Little Old Jewish Ladies and The NASCAR Dad. It is a story about being a decent human being and a lesson in history. At the end of the day, four more votes were cast for Barack Obama.

With 18 days to go before it is official, one bookie in Ireland is already paying out on those that bet that Obama would win the Nov. 4th US Presidential Election.

Ireland's major betting company Paddy Power is so sure that Barack Obama will win the U.S. presidential election next month that it will pay up on more than €1 million ($1.35 million) of pro-Obama bets.

"We declare this race well and truly over and congratulate all those who backed Obama -- your winnings await you," said a company spokesman.

Someone stole our Obama for President sign from our yard last night. They stole nearly all the Obama signs in our neighborhood. The ones they didn't take they spray-painted black. So I made this sign today and staked it in the yard. I fully expect it to be trashed by morning. At least they know the result of their pranks: we give more money to Obama's campaign.

There has recently been a breakout of Kossacks that have been "digging" stories up using Digg. For those that don't know what Digg is, here is a description.

From Wikipedia -
Digg is a website made for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the Internet, by submitting links and stories, and voting and commenting on submitted links and stories. Voting stories up and down is the site's cornerstone function, respectively called digging and burying. Many stories get submitted every day, but only the most dugg stories appear on the front page.

So how important is Digg to getting our DailyKos diaries out to the rest of the world? How about this important.
