The right-wing blogosphere. You’ve got to love them. After all, these guys suffer for you. They bear the terrible burden of knowledge, of watching from the sidelines as dhimmi Europeans bow to the inexorable coming of the next Caliphate and now, as a radical, Muslim, socialist, backed by liberal media elites, seeks to steal the White House (no doubt, so that he can turn America into a crypto-Marxist, Islamic state). What must it be like to live in a world where only you (and your fellow bloggers and army of readers) are prescient enough to see the West’s gradual fall to Communism and Islam? (Could you attend the same self help groups as 9/11 Truthers? Would they even let you in?)

Over the past four years I have tried to follow the illogic of these blogging masterminds. But all too often the mental power necessary to make two and two equal five fails me. Either that, or I suddenly realize that the exercise is worse than a waste of time, more pointless than a broken pencil.

Thankfully, Jon Swift has not given up. Oh no, he has been eagerly following the right-wingnutosphere’s presidential election coverage (so you don’t have to!) and rounded up the major stories that the mainstream media has been too conniving, lazy or cowardly to cover. My personal favorite is the revelation that Barack Obama had an underage, gay “affair” with a pedophile. But I would not fault you if you were more impressed with the scoop that Obama had cocaine-fueled gay sex in the back of a limousine with a not-very-attractive disabled man with a criminal background. You be the judge.

I’m bumping this from the comments because it’s too good to miss. John McCain at last night’s Alfred E. Smith dinner in New York, joking about the election: “Maverick I can do. But Messiah is above my pay grade.”

And with a moving tribute to his opponent:

Political opponents can have a little trouble seeing the best in each other but I’ve had a few glimpses of this man at his best and I admire his great skill, energy and determination. It’s not for nothing that he has inspired so many folks in his own party and beyond.

Senator Obama talks about making history and he has made quite a bit of it already. There was a time when the mere invitation of an African American citizen to dine at the White House was taken as an outrage and an insult in many quarters. Today is a world away from the cruel and prideful bigotry of that time and good riddance. i can’t wish my opponent luck, but I do wish him well.
