Why Ain’t Po Folks On The Ballot?
With apologies to Whisperin’ Bill Anderson Salvation Army give us clothes to wear A man from the county came to cut our hair We lived next door to a millionare But we wasn’t nothin’ but po’ folks. I don’t plan on voting for Barack Obama. I don’t plan on voting for John McCain either. But [...]
Meghan McCain’s Blog–FAIL
I hope for Barack Obama’s sake it’s real. I hope for John McCain’s sake it isn’t. John McCain’s daughter Meghan is blogging from the campaign trail. And by “blogging” I mean there is blogging software installed on a domain, and she can occasionally compose a compound sentence. Apparently a digital camera is involved as well, [...]
NOTA Knox County
Yesterday’s stellar voter turnout make me wonder… If every office had a “None Of The Above” choice, would things be different? If voters had the option to choose NOTA would they be more likely to show up? What if an election victory by NOTA meant that another election would be held? My guess is the [...]
Jonesin’ for Some Ron Paul Soda
Jonesin’ for more Ron Paul? Head over to the Jones Soda website and check out their Campaign Cola 2008. The site also features bottles from some other also-rans of this election cycle. Question: How can Barack Obama supporters afford to buy so many high dollar sodas? I thought he was for the little guy? I [...]
The Two Barack Obamas
Hungry Mother is onto something. The New Yorker cover isn’t fair to Barack at all. It is slanted, one sided, and doesn’t accurately portray the country’s true feelings about Mr. Obama. My only problem with the controversial Obama cover is that it shows a lack of balance. There are at least two fantasies about Barack, [...]
Hillary Clinton is Shameless
I guess that isn’t news to anyone, but… In what was basically a concession speech tonight, she gave up without really giving up. But she did try to play a little trick on her less intelligent supporters–she asked them to go to her website to leave comments and “help in whatever way you can.” So [...]
The Root Cause of the Insurance “Problem”?
I think Coma has hit it pretty much right on the head, and many people may not be seeing the complete picture… If I didn’t need health insurance, I sometimes wonder how my life would be different because I think I would have probably gone down a different path in the last five years. That’s [...]
Party People in the House
John Norris Brown on Democratic Party candidate selection: A few months ago, I would have predicted the superdelegates to go with the most electable candidate, then unquestionably Barack Obama. Given whats happened since then, I don’t know if he can still play that card. I’ll go ahead and make another bold prediction… The Republicans will [...]
Twitter Was Made For Watching Debates
The only thing better than sitting on the couch and making smart ass comments while watching the debates is sitting on the couch making smart ass comments while watching the debates and watching everyone else make smart ass comments. Some of my favorite Tweets from the debates are below along with links to the blogs [...]
An Open Post-It Note To Card Carrying Republicans
I’m sorry that the guy you have apparently nominated isn’t conservative enough for you. I feel the same way. Maybe you should have considered this situation a possibility before you labeled the most conservative choice presented to you as a kook. There’s a chance the blood letting in November will cleanse your party, but it’s more [...]
