Obamas Money Mountain

Blimey:

Obama's September fundraising explains why he's been able to outspend John McCain so widely: He raised over $150 million in September alone, adding 632,000 new donors.

At some point it becomes difficult to actually spend all this cash. Hence reports of Obama advertising on country music stations in Miami or on video games. Anything to, you know, get rid of all this cash... Notable too that the Obama campaign is expanding its list of target states once more, this time buying time in West Virginia.

"Notable too that the Obama campaign is expanding its list of target states once more, this time buying time in West Virginia."

Which, of course, helps in less well-funded down-ticket races and party building.

An Alaska-Stockholm Summit? It's too late now, of course, but there's at least one head of state Sarah Palin has something in common with. King Carl Gustaf XVI of Sweden who has just come out in favour of shooting wolves. Bonus: Sweden's moose-hunting season opened last week, and moose - or elk - hunting is increasingly popular amongst women: Some 300,000 moose, or elk as they're known in Europe, roam Sweden's woods during the summer months, and about a third of those are killed off each autumn during the hunt. "Society has changed over the years. Now people can pursue their interests, regardless of gender and there's nothing stopping them..." Anja Kjellsson, a game manager in the northern county of Västerbotten and who runs a network for women hunters, told AFP... "The hunt has always been a little traditional, but now it's really caught on among women," she says, noting that the change started in earnest in the 1980s... According to the Swedish Association for Hunting and Wildlife Management, the share of women passing the hunting exam has risen from 18 percent in 1995 to 25 percent this year. Some 14,200 women in Sweden have now paid the annual hunting conservation fee required...

Status: Enraged but Unsurprised OK, this is from the Sunday Times so the usual weekend caveats apply. But a) this story does seem to be confirmed by official sources and b) it turns out it isn't actually April 1st: Everyone who buys a mobile telephone will be forced to register their identity on a national database under government plans to extend massively the powers of state surveillance. Phone buyers would have to present a passport or other official form of identification at the point of purchase. Privacy campaigners fear it marks the latest government move to create a surveillance society. A compulsory national register for the owners of all 72m mobile phones in Britain would be part of a much bigger database to combat terrorism and crime. Although the Tories will doubtless give them a run for their money it is hard to imagine how any government could actually be more enraging than the present shower. Mr Worstall has some good, old-fashioned suggestions for what the government should do next. And no, despite what the government says, none of this is actually for your own good. PS: How long before some government flunky tries to make the (absurd) case that "Well, if we just...
