Fair warning: Expect assumptions to be challenged in this post. It’s part of my gadfly approach. That approach is probably the result of my working class upbringing, filled as it was with all the right values propped up by all the wrong lies, as well as my eventual over-education (for my class), which provided me [...]

Good morning/afternoon folks! Hope you are all well and working your prowls, or enjoying whatever it is you’re doing this lovely Saturday. I know all eyes are on Texas right now, where it is anything but lovely. Whatever goodwill you may offer, whether you pray or send good thoughts and hope for a better tomorrow, [...]

In 2000 Al Gore ran for President on the coattails of the best 8 year record any President had since FDR. The country went from record deficits to a zero deficit, a balanced budget, the greatest economic expansion in history, the lowest unemployment i…

So Obama does it again. At least we know the lipstick on his feet isnt because anyone was kissing them, but from Obama putting his own foot in his mouth. The more you realize that this is the candidate Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi rigged the conventio…

Whether its Obama’s bloggers or media types like Olbermann, Matthews, and especially Mike Barnicle they all seem to share one big problem. They can’t seem to stop insisting that Mommy make it all better for Obama.Mommy of course is Hillary Clinton but …

Dear Senator Obama:
I was enthusiastically impressed with you when I heard you at the 2004 Democratic convention. I thought to myself that one day you might be president. Obviously you thought so too.
My problem is that you let your overwhelming desire to be the first black President overide your good sense. You became more obsessed [...]

N.O.T. (Nothing On Top) For Democrats 2008
Puma PAC, People United Means Action, is Protesting the 2008 Election. We are Democrats who will vote for President this year in Protest. We will not support the Selected presidential nominee. Millions of us will vote John McCain as a PROTEST against the DNC and the Obama Movement. Millions [...]

Whaddya think folks?
Please post instances of sexism against Sarah Palin that you have found.
Holy shit, sorry folks, but Rudy Giuli-freaking-ani just asked, “How DARE they ask whether a woman with children is able to lead?”
Holy Smokes, what has the Democratic Party come to?

Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured. -Indian ProverbHow [X] has conducted himself while winning campaigns is a subject of n…

Thank you, Sarah Palin, for picking up the gauntlet that Hillary was forced to leave behind!

Mark It!

Democratic strategists James Carville and Stan Greenberg said Obama, who has come to be seen as a “cool” or “suave” candidate, could go a long way in connecting with voters by showing some anger or disgust about the condition of the economy and the war in Iraq, but they warn that he must be sincere.
“That’s [...]

I had the good fortune to be in the Pepsi Center tonight while Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton addressed the Convention. Senator Clinton was at the top of her game. She hit all the important notes she struck throughout the primary season. And then, a wo…

That was Hillary’s message to us. KEEP RUNNING. Never give up. Never quit.

Obama, Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi seem to have a big envy problem. And their problem seems to be that Democrats simply aren’t Republicans. And wont shut up and act like them. They wish they would because you can almost hear them thinking that’s the w…

Mark It!

Yesterday’s news that Senator Clinton was going to have her name placed in nomination (as it should have been in the first place) was completely undermined by a degree of political stupidity by Obama and the DNC so stupefying that one would think it wa…

Remember back in the primaries, one candidate refused to debate another candidate? That unwilling debater said more debates in states that had yet to hold primaries were not necessary, that his schedule could not accommodate any more debates, and gave …

For the most part, I find Senator Obama boring. So usually in this space I do not write much about him directly. But today Senator Obama played a little trick that reminded of the person who I think of as his nearest political relative - Richard M. Nix…
