This diagram does the best job I’ve seen of showing why all this Drill Here, Drill Now bullshit is just that: bullshit. Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration Any questions? UPDATE: I’ve put this graphic and text together as a mini-poster (a PDF document) for you to download. Print this out. Show it to your friends. Let’s get ’em educated. […]

That’s right, lady, keep it up. The more people have a mental image of YOU as president, the better Obama’s chances get. Period. It’s that simple. President Palin? *shudder* I’m just sayin’…

Ask Republican John McCain about the nastiness of his campaign of late and the lies that he and his running mate continue to tell and his response involves some mixture of “Obama’s doing it, too”, “Obama will raise your taxes” and “This wouldn’t be happening if Obama would just do town hall meetings with me.” None of these, of course, […]

We took a break from Obama campaignin’ this past weekend and had a marvelous pepper harvest. Photo by Anne Savage/Revolutionary Views PhotographySome got stuffed and frozen (and eaten :) and the rest got sliced up and frozen. Gotta love a good pepper harvest. I’m just sayin’…

Seriously, this guy is running on his NEW! and IMPROVED! banner of CHANGE!??? This old man is so out of touch and entrenched in Warshington politics that I wouldn’t trust him to have anything at all to do with “fixing” our economy. The Dems nail it in their new ad I’m just sayin’…

Jesus, these people will lie about anything, won’t they? Senator John McCain has drawn some of the biggest crowds of his presidential campaign since adding Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to his ticket on Aug. 29. Now officials say they can’t substantiate the figures McCain’s aides are claiming. McCain aide Kimmie Lipscomb told reporters on Sept. 10 that an outdoor rally […]

Whoa. Somebody borrowed “a pair” from Hillary. Crazy part is, she’s from Fox News! Of course, Tucker Bounds is a total douchebag. But the fact that he’s been reduced to admitting that they are telling lies about Obama raising everyone’s taxes is because they don’t believe him. Get that? They say he’s going to raise the estate tax, the payroll […]

Governor Palin today spelled out what her role will be in the White House, should they get elected. Here it is: Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said Monday she would concentrate on energy, government reform and helping families with special needs children if Republicans win the White House… I’m guessin’ that “special needs” families all over Alaska aren’t too thrilled […]

Female McPalin surrogate and expert on sexism in politics, Carly Fiorina was asked today about the stupendous Saturday Night Live skit featuring Tina Fey as Governor Palin and Amy Pohler as Senator Clinton. Here’s what she said: INTERVIEWER: You are the first person from the McCain campaign I can ask, what did you think of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin? […]

Now we’re talkin’. More like this please. The McCain campaign’s response? We’re running a campaign to win. And we’re not too concerned about what the media filter tries to say about it. In other words, they’ll just keep lying ’cause that’s how they think they’re going to win. And fuck you and the media if you don’t like it. That’s […]

We lost one of the good ones this past Friday when David Foster Wallace, author of the legendary Infinite Jest, was found dead from suicide. DFW’s insight into society and American life, in particular, made him a standout in the literary world. His death is a tragic loss. In 2000, DFW spent two weeks on the campaign trail with John […]
