VISIBLE MEANS OF SUPPORT update: As I’ve been reporting, this web site requires a visible means of support, like the old bra ad only in reverse. Yesterday yielded reader comments from maybe 5 people—from all over North America! And no cash support came in, just as it didn’t the day before.
1. More re those polls, pre election: I blogged about the polls several times, and as I’ve said, I often used Rasmussen Polls as my barometer. And as I’ve reported, Rasmussen’s polls proved to be exactly dead on, at the end, and predicted the exact outcome, spot on. Another study of polls has popped up, analyzing 23 of the top polling companies and collaborations and associations that were carried out during the campaign. Seventeen of the 23 polls over-estimated Obama strength at the end. Only two were dead on (Rasmussen and Pew). Just three over-estimated McCain strength (and none of them were polls by news media). Who didn’t make the top ten in accuracy? Well in number 13 we have the NBC news – Wall Street Journal collaboration. In 14th place we find ABC News – Washington Post. In 15th is CBS News. .jpg "image")
In 18th we find Reuters, in 19th we find the CBS News – New York Times collaboration (I mocked them during the campaign for what I thought was their wildly off the mark 13-point spread for Obama), and in last place, Newsweek, which, like all the other news media, so many rely on for accurate, objective, unbiased, honest news reporting.
2. Mr. “Unity”, Barack Obama, is sounding like a real “change” president, alright. Valerie Jarrett, co-chair of the president-elect’s transition team (as seen on this May Newsweek cover at left—see quip about Newsweek in item #1 above), had this to say about the new team on today’s Meet the Press on NBC: “It’s important that president-elect Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one”. The president is now the “ruler”. That’s change! And he will “take power”? Feel the unity, baby! 
Yannywho… On Obama’s choice for Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, who, as I’ve reported, once said of Republicans that they could go “f_ _ _ themselves”, and who once sent a dead fish to a pollster he didn’t like, and who once spoke before a crowd of Clinton supporters and angrily jammed a knife into the written names of those who opposed Clinton, shouting “dead” after naming them and jabbing the knife repeatedly into the names: she said, “He embraces president-elect Obama’s philosophy…” … his philosophy of unity among the dead fishes? I don’t get it.

3. More on Valerie Jarret: Like Rahm Emanuel, another member of the rather infamously rough and tough Chicago power politics machine. Described by the telegraph.co.uk as an Iranian-born business woman, and a lawyer, and a property investor, who is nonetheless “African American”. She is likewise an Ivy League-trained elite. … The Chicago Tribune said this past summer of her: she’s a: ”…longtime Chicago powerbroker, [and] has also been called the other side of Obama’s brain.” And they wrote, quoting an unnamed Chicago businessman, ““She’s a business person who travels in rarefied circles. She’s very selective about who she will even talk to. She’s one of those people who wear their snootiness like a badge of honor.”” They helpfully added: “Jarrett is a member of African-American and Chicago royalty.” … Yummy elitist old-style Chicago-style power politics “chaaaange”….
3-b. This would be a good time to insert this screen-capture I took from a YouTube video Valerie Jarrett made for team Obama in which she waxes on, and on, and on (over plucky emoticon music) about Obama and what his “rule” (see above) will mean to women once he “takes power”:
