Andrew Sullivan sums it perfectly: Think about what the Palin pick really says about how McCain views this campaign and how he views his potential responsibilities in national security. Think about what it says about the sincerity of McCain’s own central criticism of Obama these past two months in foreign affairs. Think about how he picked a woman to be […]

Yesterday, John McCain turned 72 (ulp) years old. Instead of RECEIVING gifts, he gave one. To Barack Obama. He gave Barack Sarah Palin. Who is Sarah Palin? She’s the former mayor of a 9,000 person city in Alaska and a two-year governor. Here’s her take on the vice presidency earlier this year: Oops. Well, hopefully somebody has filled her in […]

Obama’s speech last night was watched by 38 MILLION people. That’s huge. Very, very huge actually. Only 28 million people watched the closing ceremony of the Olympics this year, the biggest night of the entire Games. This is good for the Dems because it gave them a chance to show the country that their candidate is tough, smart, and down-to-earth. […]

Here’s what they showed you: Here’s what happened next: Heh, heh… I’m just laughin’…

Well, folks, we may now be down to the final moments of any semblance of a dignified campaign from John McCain, if, in fact, you could call what he’s been doing “clean”. He’s now bringing out the “POW Defense” to rationalize his gaffe of not knowing how many houses he has (seven). “I am grateful for the fact that I […]

Dave Stewart, guitar player for the Eurythmics, along with Bono, has put together a really wonderful summation of why so many of us in America are so very, very excited about the candidacy and presidency of Senator Barack Obama. I just really think this is totally cool. More on the background of this video and song and the collaboration of […]

We’re back from our trip to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Much fun was had, many beers were drank and four years of wedded bliss were celebrated. We spent the evening of our anniversary drinking the same sparkling wine (“Talismon“) from L. Mawby winery that we served at our reception while lying on the beach where we had the […]

This is how it’s done. I’m just sayin’…

Pundits have been criticizing Senator Obama for going on vacation now, rather than later during the Republican convention when he’s unlikely to get much press anyway. BTW, here’s a shot of the good Senator chillin’ in the “foreign, exotic” locale of Hawaii (yes, NPR’s Cokie Roberts actually called the state of Hawaii “foreign” and “exotic”“): More vacation photos HEREBut I […]

God Forbid Senator Obama Do Something Like THIS… He’s like a bored little kid. And then there’s this: If Barack Obama got caught doing something like this with the American flag, the heavens themselves would come crashing down on him and the endless ranting and raving on every talk show, radio show, news report, magazine article, blog and political commentary […]

With presidential leadership like this, what’s not to be proud about, eh? What a classy guy. Not. I’m just embarrassed…
