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. […]

Okay, let me get this straight: the McCain campaign has been hammering away at Senator Obama’s lack of experience and youth and then he picks a 2-year governor of a state with fewer constituents than Obama’s Senatorial district who is 44? And she was a runner-up at the Miss Alaska Beauty Pageant? And who was “Miss Wasilla”? And who posed […]

I was reading a very insightful piece over at Andrew Sullivan’s Blog, the Daily Dish and one of his reader’s comments there really rang true with me. Here’s part of what they wrote: Real heroes don’t go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about their own heroism…The heroes I knew in […]

Oh, that Dave Barry: This year there is high drama in the Mile High City as the Democrats gather under their official 2008 convention slogan: “A Unified Party, United in Unity Together As One, Undivided.” Heh. Ayup, that’s about it. I’m just sayin’…

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 […]

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

McCain Takes $2300 Contribution from Owner of Gay Sex Site. Focus on the Family folks are NOT going to like this. Not one bit. Waiting for McCain to give the money back in five, four, three, two… On the Good News front, Barack Obama received a contribution from his two millionth contributor. That’s a record, boys and girls, and that […]

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 […]

Ow. This one might just leave a mark. Sometimes, the truth is a very painful thing and you can just let the facts speak for themselves. I’m just sayin’…
