Why Vote Third Party?

If you’re a Republican, why not?  Voting for McCain is just throwing your vote away. Really, I’m writing it to tell you what you have been telling me and my fellow third party voters for years:  Your guy can’t win.  If you cast a vote for John McCain, you are throwing your vote away.  Obama [...]


Another Reason Newspapers Aren’t Doing Well

Ron Paul made them do it!  At least that’s the implication. Ross said he is a member of the Libertarian Party and the Constitution Party, and that he supported Ron Paul for president. That’s what I call reporting! Let’s find out who O.J. is supporting while we’re at it.


A Summary of the Debate

I was only halfway watching, and what is going on seems fairly evident. John McCain has no desire to address difficult issues, especially the economy. Barack Obama has no desire to address difficult issues, especially the economy. Barack Obama will be the next President. John McCain is the real winner, because he won’t have to [...]


What Was That Guy’s Name Again?

You know…the guy whose family asked Barack Obama to stop wearing their son’s bracelet and using it as a campaign gimmick.  It’s ok…Obama had trouble remembering it the other night too.   HT Shots Across the Bow.

China To Halt US Lending?

From Reuters: Chinese regulators have told domestic banks to stop interbank lending to U.S. financial institutions to prevent possible losses during the financial crisis, the South China Morning Post reported on Thursday. As a half-full guy, I’m going to read this as “US Will Stop Borrowing Money From China” and be happy. Ok, I’m not [...]


No, He Didn’t Call Her a Pig

You make think that’s what he meant, but that’s giving him a lot of credit for cleverness that I’m not sure he deserves.  Note to both Dems and Reps who are trying to make the campaign about everything except the issues (again): Nobody cares about this crap but you guys, and the more you try [...]


Everybody’s Webless For The Weekend

Well, at least I am–mostly. Just a few thoughts that kept me up for a good 5 or 10 minutes last night… John McCain’s speech was pretty non-eventful until the end. He tried to do something that is very effective when he was speaking over the applause and hoots. While it was effective, if he [...]


Palin Was a Brilliant Choice

Now Obama is campaigning against her instead of McCain: In an interview on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 Monday night, Obama was asked about whether his experience in the U.S. Senate dealing with weather-related situations compares to Palin’s executive experience running the state of Alaska and as the small town mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. At least [...]
