Karl Rove does…Dunkin Donuts commercials?
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008Okay - I almost spit when I heard the latest Dunkin Donuts commercials. But first, a little background. Who do you think owns Dunkin? Did you heard that they got bought out a few years back? I did, and the name just blew me away. It was a three partner buyout that included the Carlyle [...]
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 [...]
Two things about the Palin’s latest child
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Reading a story about Trig Paxon Van Palen, there were two things that really stood out at me. They were:
“I said I am going to stay for the day. I have a speech I was determined to give,” Palin said. She gave the luncheon keynote address for the energy conference. (emphasis mine).
Okay - so you [...]
Keeping things secret in Wasilla
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Man, this just gets better and better…
First of all, Alaska politics has always been interesting. Being an Alaskan myself (I grew up there, before moving out of the state in 1990), I’ve always loved it. It’s always open and interesting to watch. But that wasn’t so about Wasilla under Palin. They were critiziced for not [...]
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 [...]
Come on, Palin!
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Oh man. Sarah, you and I are both Alaskans. Both of us moved to Alaska and grew up there. And though I moved out, I still consider Alaska to be where my family is from, where a majority of my family still is, and holds a special place in my heart.
One thing about Alaskans. We [...]
You know who else was a community organizer?
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. MLK was a community organizer. But he really didn’t do anything, did he?
The seven scariest words of the race so far
Thursday, September 4th, 2008I almost lost my lunch when I saw this headline pop up: Bush Aides Schooling Palin In Foreign Policy.
What the hell, people?!?!? A president with the biggest blunders of any in the history of this nation. A president who lied us into war. And he’s teaching Sarah Palin how to do it?
If that doesn’t get [...]
