Governor Sarah Palin’s ascendancy to the Number Two spot on the Republican ticket has given Tina Fey’s Saturday Night Live career new life. But she’d be happy to have that all come to an abrupt end on Election Day. “I want to be done playing this lady Nov. 5,” she said. “So if anybody can help me be done playing […]

This one might just leave a mark. Oh, and by the way, it was created by a “concerned citizen”. It didn’t come from the Obama campaign. With friends like these, he’s in VERY good shape. I’m just sayin’…

Charles M. Blow has a new editorial piece out in the New York Times that’s a perfect characterization of the Palin Phenomenon right now. Here’s some of it: It turns out that the Republican enthusiasm for Sarah Palin is just as superficial as she is. They were so eager for someone to cheer for (because they really don’t like you) […]

While it’s a pretty easy target these days to hit, this right harr is a piece of awesomeness. How people can listen to McCain and then listen to Obama and come away thinking McCain and Palin are the best two people to run this country when it is in such dire need of strong leadership, I absolutely will never understand. […]

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. […]

Okay then. I guess McCain’s whole “it was Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae greedy fucks and Barack Obama that caused the current economic meltdown” meme just bit the big one. Read it and weep, Mr. Senator McCain, sir (showing deference): To The Editor: Yesterday, Senator John McCain released a television commercial attacking Barack Obama for allegedly receiving advice on the […]

No, I’m not talking about flip-flops. Flip-flops, schmip-flops. I’m talking about how he feels about Barack Obama. First he spends pretty much the entire campaign saying Obama hasn’t had any significant impact in the Senate so far, that he voted “present” all the time. Okay, I’m with you, John. It’s true that Barack has not spent anywhere near the time […]

Seems like Barack Obama has started to find the whole McPalin campaign a little pathetic. I love this passive-aggressive slam: This morning Senator McCain gave a speech in which his big solution to this worldwide economic crisis was to blame me for it. This is a guy who’s spent nearly three decades in Washington, and after spending the entire campaign […]

Michigan’s forward-thinking Democratic governor, Jennifer Granholm, has shepherded through legislation requiring a doubling in the amount of renewable energy supplied by the major power utilities. By doing this she is blazing a new path to creating markets for green energy that will benefit our ailing state and the country as a whole. It is THIS kind of investment that is […]

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, […]
