Douchebag alert!
Thursday, November 6th, 2008Mark Halperin had been contentious and questionable during the entire Presidential election, like the week that John McCain could do nothing without it being gaffe-filled and Obama had a stellar week, but by Halperin’s take, McCain “won the week”.
Still, it’s good to read various reporters, no matter what slant they try to put on the [...]
How to look like a right-wing tool
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008What the hell, Mark Halperin? Are you trying to look even more like a corporate right-wing tool? Well you raised some eyebrows when you declared McCain the “winner of the week” a couple of weeks ago when McCain was in the midst of falling on his face. Now in an interview with someone on the [...]
With McCain down in the polls, what does the religious right say?
Thursday, September 25th, 2008To quote the homophobic “Focus on the Family” and those other organizations that deny reality:
McCain urged to be more vocal on marriage amendments
Can you believe that? The economy is in the toilet. We are going to have a bailout of $700,000,000,000 of public companies (like the $500,000,000,000 bailout of the Savings and Loans THAT JOHN [...]
McCain suspending his campaign, eh?
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Okay - so the “Maverick” calls for suspending his campaign, ending commercials, calling off the debate, and as the accidental leak of the talking points say, suspending campaign fundraising.
So… Hop on over to JohnMcCain.com and look around. Okay, so the “Contribute” button still works. That’s odd… Oh, and there’s a “McCain Compliance Fund”. Well that [...]
Palin and the librarian scandal
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008Okay, so sometimes satellite radio is more useful than 24 hour trance music… This morning as I drove into the office and was listening to XM’s POTUS08, they had a guy from PolitiFact.com on to talk about some of Palin’s issues. The issue that I am most interested about was the librarian scandal, because banning [...]
The best “Democrat versus Republican” compare and contrast list ever!
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008You gotta love DemocraticUnderground.com. There are some awesome posts over there, but nothing compares to the list found here. To quote a couple of my favorites:
* If you grow up in Hawaii you’re “exotic.”
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential “American story.”
* If you are a Democratic male candidate who [...]
Update on Palin’s per diem scandal
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008When you go through Alaska’s FY2008 budget, there is a nice little section that talks about travel. Specifically, the State is trying to save money on Medicaid, and has put into the budget this statement:
It is the intent of the legislature that the Department continues to aggressively pursue
Medicaid cost containment initiatives. Efforts should continue where [...]
Bridge to nowhere: Palin kept the money, so what did she do with it?
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Just doing a cursory search, there is an article on the New York Times website that states about the “Bridge to Nowhere”, which Palin is trying to say she killed:
When Congress removed the earmarks for the bridges in 2005, it still gave the state the money, but it allowed Alaskan officials to decide how to [...]
A powerful graphic
Thursday, September 4th, 2008I’ve shown this graphic, that is specific about what your taxes will be under both Obama and McCain. It is so powerful that I’ve “converted” two McCain supporters who were supporting him solely because of his stance on taxes. We need to use this everywhere, people!

Pawlenty’s argument against McCain
Thursday, August 28th, 2008I heard some of the most infuriating words of the election, headed by Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty a bit ago on the XM Satellite radio POTUS ‘08 channel. Luckily, I found another interview of the same…
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty did an interview with FOX News (imagine that!) where he was trying to downplay what Obama [...]
