On some of the live blogging threads there was some complaining of bias by Brokaw towards McCain, something many were no doubt suspicious of going into the debate, given Brokaw's role as NBC's liaison to the McCain campaign and his efforts to get Olbermann and Matthews off of the convention anchor desks.

One specific complaint was that Brokaw seemed to be thanking McCain at the end of his answers, but not extending the same courtesy to Obama. Well, there is a transcript up at CNN's website, so I simply scrolled through it looking for Brokaw's contributions, and added up the thank you's. Final tally: McCain 6, Obama 1. This does not count thanking each of them individually at the close of the debate.

Tha mi ‘faicinn gu bheil iomadh (agus nuair a sgrìobhas mi iomadh, ‘se iomadh a tha mi mìneachadh!) leabhraichean-latha air DailyKos air cuspair Bharack Obama is Hillary Clinton. Agus ged a tha tè neo dhà dhiubh math gu leòr, tha e soillear gu bheil a’ mhòr chuid dhiubh ‘nan suidhe air àite air choireagan eadar "gun fheum" agus "pìos càc". Ach chan eil mi a’ gearain, oir ‘se pìos càc gun fheum a tha an leabhar-latha seo gu dearbh!

Will the outrages never cease? As if a Spanish version of the US national anthem weren't bad enough (not to mention Yiddish and Polish versions), it turns out the uppity Scotch have one too:

O am faic sibh gu moch an am bristeadh an tràth'
A ni dh'fhàg sinn fo uaill 'n am dol fodha na gréine,
Le chuid rionnagan soills' 'us na sgrìoban breac bàn
Thar an daighnich bho 'n àird troimh gach gàbhadh 'us éiginn?
'S gach ional-càtha 's gach fuaim bh' anns an iarmailt mu'n cuairt
Thug dhuinn dearbhadh troimh 'n oidhch' gu robh bhratach sin suas;
O! am bheil fathast a' bhratach air bheil breacadh nan reult
Os cionn dachaidh sluagh saor 'us àit' còmhnuidh nan treun?

Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh ha ha ha ha ha!

I'm sorry, this is too funny, especially after watching Sam Seder's dismantling of the phony War on Christmas. "They tortured an elf"!

Anyway...

There have been several diaries noting the apparent hypocrisy of Bill o'Reilly and Fox News screaming about the anti-Christmas agenda of the nation's leading retailers (oooh ha ha ha ha ha!), whilst simultaneously offering up lots of "Holiday" cheer on their websites. Read More

Why does Bill O'Reilly hate Thanksgiving?

Bill O'Reilly is making his annual big stink about how the forces of multiculturalism and political correctness are forcing everyone to exorcise the word "Christmas" from their vocabulary. Phrases like "Seasons Greetings" and "Happy Holidays" are apparently the inventions of the Christmas-hating, anti-Christian left. This bogeyman is coming to your town, forcing you to decorate your "holiday tree" with "tinsel" and "popcorn", rather than the more traditional "Jesus's eyelashes" and "Christ corn".

But where does Bill O'Reilly stand on the equally pressing problem of the secularization of Thanksgiving? Read More

Finally, here's the last in the series: Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

The graphs show how much more or less Democratic each state voted as compared to the national average; thus a +5% means that in a 50/50 national tie, the Democrat would have received 55% in a 2-way race.
