The Electoral College votes today. Most people don’t pay attention to that. It is always assumed, in the national discourse, that the President-Elect is a shoe-in and that this is mostly a formality. In every election there is talk about doing away with the Electoral College. I’m not sure that’s [...]
Apparently Al Qaida’s number two man has issued a video calling Obama, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice house n*****s. Sorry, I’m less than moved by that. On another item, doesn’t Al Qaida make the world’s first Lifecasters?
While the McCain/Palin retroactive bitch-slap continues I’ve noticed a number of items written trying to correct the attitudes of people who didn’t like the Bush administration. These rebukes appear to be somewhat based on the assumption that respect is owed an office-holder out of the gate. It isn’t. We don’t [...]
We’re two days out from Election Day. I have to question the intelligence and/or intentions of anyone who says they’ve not yet made up their mind. If you’re that indecisive why are you still alive? That would be like the folks who wait to decide to evacuate until a wall [...]
I read a list of quotes from some people in Virginia where one of them said “we’re” (I assume herself and people of like thinking) “not ready for a black guy.” This always seems to be said in a tone of “not yet, maybe later” but what the speakers probably [...]

Well it’s less than a week to the election and either way it goes there are going to be a lot of people out there disappointed and blaming the rest of the country for whatever the president does. There are people threatening to go live in another country if this [...]
When asked by NBC television presenter Brian Williams whether an abortion clinic bomber was a terrorist, Palin heaved a sigh and, at first, circumvented the question. “There’s no question that Bill Ayers by his own admittance was one who sought to destroy our US Capitol and our Pentagon. That is [...]
THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY BOTH PARTIES! NOT ONLY THAT– it is POLITICALLY CORRECT!! While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the [...]
