Edwards’ and Huckabee’s Heroics; the Republican Fiscal Responsibility Myth

I received an unusual email from the Edwards campaign last night. Unusual because it had nothing to do with his Presidential campaign. It was a call to contact our Senators to filibuster or defeat a bill which would give retroactive immunity to phone carriers who illegally tapped phone conversations at Bush’s request. [...]

Thoughts on the South Carolina Debate

The Democrat Debate this Monday was painful.  It really hurt to watch it.  But, since I missed the boat on the last debate, let me make a couple of comments on this one (I really need to do this thing the next day).
First, watching Clinton and Obama go after each other, I could see the [...]

Canada’s Offensive Assertation

The United States was included on a Canadian list of countries whose detainees are possibly subjected to torture.  Not to worry, however, it only pertains to those who are detained illegally, so you are not in trouble as long as your Constitutional rights are upheld.
Anyway, the Canadian foreign minister has apologized for the list, and [...]

My Super Bowl Two Cents

Well, the Packers lost in the NFC Championship game, and normally that would make me happy.  But I’m not.  I was actually hoping they would win.  However, I have to hand it to the Giants, they played a much better game.  The Packers were incredibly lucky to even be in the game late in the [...]

Are Obama’s Ads Deceptive? No!

I was pretty livid over an article on Newsweek’s website claiming Obama puts out ads that misquote newspaper articles. The article is in reference to a Nevada ad in which Obama has a quote from the AP saying that he offers a universal health care plan. The writer, Mr. Bank, states that the [...]

Take that Jim Mora!

Well, I know it’s been a couple of days, but I’ve had a chance to cool down and look at things in a little more reasoned light. I am talking, of course, about the NFL Conference Championships coming up next weekend.
I must say that this has been the most disappointing playoff run since the [...]

Clinton: The Definition of Dirty Politics

 
I am in complete awe of the ignorance and hypocrisy of the Clinton campaign, and the absolutely disgusting tactics they used this weekend. I am talking about the Martin Luther King comments Clinton made last Monday which many thought seemed to diminish the role of Martin Luther King in the equal rights movement.
Now, there [...]

HOF & NH FYI

*note* If you have gotten this far, but don’t care to wade through my ramblings, please at least read the last two paragraphs. I think this is kinda important to remember next time you hear reporters spewing obvious misinformation about polling points.

Tuesday was a sad day for elections. First, Andre Dawson, once [...]

College Football Rant

Ohio State lost for the BCS championship game for the second year in a row. And they also lost the NCAA basketball championship game last season. In fact, it’s been a very “bad” year for Ohio sports. As read in The Swamp (a political blog for the Chicago Tribune), not only has [...]
