Birth certificate "painter" mocks Obama claim that image proves authenticity

with the Daily Kos -- the blog site that published the supposedly authentic Barack Hussein Obama birth certificate and his own birth certificate manipulations in the same June 12 post, Jay McKinnon, aka opendna, says he manipulated the Obama birth certificate to create a blank Hawaii birth certificate as a "template," supposedly for a John McCain birth certificate. But he says it was not an attempt at deception but a "lame joke" that he now regrets.

Artists Abroad For Obama

Even though they can't cast votes in November, artists around the globe are cranking out tunes in homage to the Democratic presidential candidate. Latin-Grammy-nominated Don Omar transformed Obama's surname into the upbeat Reggaeton song, "Como Se Dice," and collaborated with the Cuban band Yerba Buena and over a dozen other Latin stars on "Podemos Con Obama" ("We Can With Obama"). Jamaican crooners are particularly starry-eyed for the politician, with Tyrical's "The Obama Song," Cocoa Tea's "Barack Obama" and Mavado's "We Need Barack" (which mixes Obama's speeches with reggae beats). Grenada-born Calypso singer Mighty Sparrow is working on an entire album of Obama songs, following his hit "Barack the Magnificent."

Document forensics expert: Obama "birth certificate" a "horrible forgery"

The purported Certification of Live Birth published by the Daily Kos left wing blog and claimed as genuine by the Obama campaign features a security border that differs dramatically from security borders on COLB documents before and after the one supposedly printed out for Obama in 2007.

Blog Buzz: John McCain's Ads and Barack Obama's Audacity

So, is the McCain campaign backing down on its false ad about Obama wanting to bring the media to the troops? (Conservative answer: Even if the specifics are off, Obama was still wrong.) Regardless, he's got a new ad up trying to portray Obama as a political version of Britney or Paris (oh, how the McCainiacs wish there was Berlin Hilton or Berliny Spears). So, is the McCain campaign trying to paint Obama as "uppity"? Or are they just going Harold Ford on him? Libs say the ad simply makes Big McC look either ridiculous or like C. McC-gomery Burns. Conservatives disagree, of course. The important point, one conservative argues, is that they're closing the Obama money gap by getting the media to run their commercials over and over and over.

Obama's surveillance votespurs blogging backlash

Washington - Sen. Barack Obama's vote for a federal surveillance law that he had previously opposed has sparked a backlash from his online advocates, who had energized his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. In October, Obama had vowed to help filibuster an update of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) (Snip) Gov. Bill Richardson, a former Democratic presidential candidate and an Obama supporter, said Friday that the improvements to the bill allowed Obama to change his position.

The Politics of Space: Obama Wants to Increase NASA Funding

Over the weekend, Democratic senator Barack Obama made a public statement during his presidential campaign trail in Titusville, Florida. Whilst responding to a question about oceanic research, Obama elaborated on his plans for the future of NASA. Previously, there have been hints that a possible Obama Presidency would see a reduction in space funding in favour of a boost in education spending. However, Saturday's statement was followed by some detailed text on Obama's campaign blog outlining his priorities for the US dominance in space, the possibility of extending the Shuttle's operations and speeding up development of the Constellation program…

Surveillance Protest Group Tops Obama Website

A grassroots group of activists has been organizing on MyBo, Obama's official social networking portal, to protest the Senator's recent decision to back controversial legislation granting the President more spying powers. The effort hit a big milestone on Tuesday afternoon: It is now the largest self-organized group on Obama's website, topping networks that were launched over a year ago. The spying protest, "Senator Obama - Please Vote NO on Telecom Immunity – Get FISA Right," launched last week. (See Obama Network Organizes and Revolts Over Spying, The Nation.)

Blogtalk: Obama's F.I.S.A. Vote

Obama not only sold out the American people with his vote on FISA, but he lied to the people like me who supported his campaign with my time and money. Look at the Democrats who voted against FISA, like Hillary and Harry Reid and Chuck Shumer. Why couldn’t Obama vote against it? He told us he wouldn’t triangulate like the other politicians, and that is precisely what he is doing. With his support for the death penalty and his opposition to gun control, what has Obama become? Now I know why people voted for Nader in 2000.

TinEye image search helps ferret out copyright ripoffs

Another day, another new search engine makes the rounds. This time, it's an image-based search engine called TinEye, which has recently been opened up to the public in beta form. TinEye claims to do for images what Google does for text, which is to find web pages containing a specific image that you supply. This may not seem very useful for the average person upon first blush—after all, you have to already have a copy of the image in order to search for it—but could prove helpful to photographers and those who want to monitor the use of their work across the Internet.

VP Candidate Is Pro-RIAA, Anti-Privacy - Biden's tech history doesn't align with Obama's beliefs

Barack Obama has named Joe Biden as the Democratic vice presidential candidate. CNET offers an interesting article reviewing Biden’s tech history and showing that his legislative past is filled with pro-RIAA, anti-privacy moves that are in direct contrast to the sentiments that Obama has expressed. Biden has backed bills that expand copyright law and urged the Justice Department to use taxpayers’ money to monitor and prosecute illegal filesharing. He is a friend not only to RIAA and MPAA but also to the FBI who he has supported with anti-encryption laws that are in keeping with the FBI’s desire to engage in wiretapping. In regards to net neutrality, Biden does not agree with Obama’s support “of handing pre-emptive regulatory authority to the Federal Communications Commission” because he believes that public disapproval of any violations t

ITTY BITTY BITS: Obama's Oprah bounce; Scarlett turns red; Bengals player plugs artist; husband of Nancy Wilson dies.

Two University of Maryland economists claim that Oprah Winfrey's influence in the presidential election delivered one million voters to her favorite candidate, Barack Obama. According to the New York Post, Craig Garthwaite and Tim Moore "developed complex numerical formulas to calibrate the might of Oprah's star power, based on book sales, TV ratings, voter turnout and other factors, to determine that she put 1,015,519 votes in the Obama column."

Blog Buzz: McCain Attacks Obama With the Troops, and Vice Presidential Speculation Grows Odder

John McCain's campaign is running a new ad accusing Barack Obama of blowing off a visit to wounded troops to go shoot some hoop. The ad is false, so why isn't the press saying so? And is the Obama campaign scared of going after McCain? And Is Obama McCain's piñata? But does the Mc-flailing make sense? McCain wasn't always in favor of using the military to score political points. Oh, and by the way: The ad is being run for insiders. (Don't worry, voters, we'll endlessly repeat the message, so you don't have to actually see the ad.)
