McCain Giving Up on Michigan John McCain is pulling out of Michigan, according to two Republicans, a stunning move a month away from Election Day that indicates the difficulty Republicans are having in finding blue states to put in play. McCain will go off TV in Michigan, stop dropping mail there and send most of his staff to more competitive […]

Seems apropos of Sarah Palin to me: While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who’s hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Palin and her bid. The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Palin is a […]

I guess this little clip from Fox News doesn’t even really need any commentary. It’s such a blatant demonstration of how completely “bias” (that’s my new Republican term) they are that it speaks entirely for itself. Good God… I’m just sayin’…

Below is a composite photo of ten faces. The faces are people who attended one of Senator Obama’s rallies in Detroit, Michigan or the McCain/Palin rally in “Detroit” (Sterling Heights, actually). There are five of each. Try to guess which ones are which. And then add your own captions to each one, telling us what they are thinking/saying. I’ll publish […]

My wife has just predicted with great certainty that Sarah Palin will drop out of the race between now and the debate. After the release today of Katie Couric’s Vice Presidential interviews in which Sarah Palin completely implodes, I’m not so sure she’s wrong. If you haven’t seen this, may I suggest you get a towel or something to bite […]

Much, much worse, in fact: McCain: I routinely turn to Palin for foreign policy advice. Jesus, are you kidding me? John McCain is getting foreign policy advice from a woman who just got her first passport last year? O. M. F. G. NPR: Given what you’ve said Senator, is there an occasion where you could imagine turning to Governor Palin […]

So says Yasser A. Mahmmoud of the University of Aarhus in Denmark: In muscle cells the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) couples the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to pump Ca2+ ions from the cytoplasm to the SR lumen. In addition, SERCA plays a key role in non-shivering thermogenesis through uncoupled reactions, where ATP hydrolysis takes place without active Ca2+ […]

You do have to admit, if our financial systems weren’t in complete meltdown, THIS would be funny as fuck: The Republican National Committee’s new advertisement critical of the the Wall Street “bailout” was produced and sent to television stations in key states before the package failed, officials at two stations said. “Wall Street Squanders our money. And Washington is forced […]

There I was, minding my own business, reading a pretty awesome editorial in the Detroit Free Press excoriating Sarah Palin when I came across a comment in the comments section that nearly made me shoot coffee out of my nose. To start with, the “genius” who typed is calls themself “ItsAPrivledge”. I do so love when someone misspells things in […]

Yesterday, I posted still images from the Obama-Biden rally in Detroit this past Sunday. These images were taken and assembled by my wife, Mrs. E. As promised, below you will find two interactive panoramic images from that event. While still images capture the moment, in my opinion nothing captures the immensity of these events like full spherical panoramic images. The […]

Sticks and stones make break some bones but words can scuttle an economic bail out and send the stock market tumbling. At least, according to House Minority Douchebag, John Boehner. Democrats were lined up to deliver 120 votes. They delivered 140. Republicans, under the wise sheparding of John “Mighty Mouse” McCain, were responsible for the rest, about 100. They delivered […]
