The McCain vs Obama Wordle Battle

Thomas Hawk says:

I took John MCain’s acceptance speech from last night’s Republican convention and compared it to Barack Obama’s acceptance speech from the Democratic convention and made wordles of each. John McCain’s wordle is on top, Barack Obama’s is on bottom.

Note the little “war” that crept inside Obama’s “promise.” I’m sure it was chance that happened. A victim of code randomizing. And yet it is still a neat visual image.

That’s Barack Obama, Putting People in their Place

“Obama dragged Lieberman by the hand to a far corner of the Senate chamber and engaged in what appeared to reporters in the gallery as an intense, three-minute conversation.” Obama’s stance was “intimidating,” according to the reporter, who is most likely a white person. Look at how Obama really stuck it to that frumpy fuck: “Using forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times, and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in a few instances.”

If you note a lot of Ellis related links today, please know that I rarely visit his universe on a timely basis. Today is a backlog of stuff he found that I, in turn, find fascinating.
