Fight the Smears (.com) is a website dedicated to removing the smear campaigning used on the internet against Barack Obama. The site attempts to dispel rumors such as Obama being a Muslim, or that his books contain inappropriate race remarks. With the amount of crap that is usually tossed around between candidates and their minions this time of the year, hopefully this will shed a little bit of light on the issue.

In other political news, check out a video we recently put up of our good friend Dubbya Bush’s address at the White House. Enjoi.

Former Synthesis Band You’ve Never Heard Of…OF THE DAY!!111, Russian Circles is up to some big shit.

Word on the street here is that Fox News isn’t looked that fondly upon around the office, and until Rupert Murdoch buys us out like he bought Myspace, I don’t think it’s going to change very soon. Oh, speaking of the neo-fascist soul eaters that is Fox News, their contributer Liz Trotta accidentally made a little slip up on air, stating that assassinating Ossama or Obama would be a grand thing. Cute.Direct quote, anyone? “…and now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama, umm, ah…Obama, well both if we could…haha….” @1:34. Check the video.

First Mike Huckabee, now Hillary Clinton, gently easing the idea of an Obama assassination into the zeitgeist, the latter invoking the assassination of Robert Kennedy during the 1968 presidential race to explain her reluctancy to drop out of the race during an interview with the Sioux Falls Argus Leader editorial board Friday.
