Former Press Secretary to George Bush Scott McClellan has written a new book, due out in June, titled What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception. Scott McClellan was deputy press secretary for George W. Bush when he was governor of Texas, and served as his traveling press secretary during Bush’s [...]
On Friday, May 30, The Great Geno will be on “The Blog Bunker” on Sirius Radio Indie Talk 110, between 4:00pm and 5:00pm Central Time.
If you get the opportunity, please check me out. I would love to hear any feedback.
Late last night (technically early this morning) I wrote that McCain doesn’t even know who runs Iran. The point I was trying to make was that he (and Bush, for that matter) are trying to scare Americans into a Cold War-type fear of Iran using their eccentric (and crazy) President, Mahmoud Ahmanidejad. Of course, Ahmanidejad [...]
John McCain thinks that Iran has the power to be every bit as threatening to the United States as the Soviet Union in its prime. If I was Russian, I’d be pretty insulted.
At the time, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. were competing for supremacy in mid-Europe, the Mideast, Central America, and Southeast Asia. Iran and [...]
A few news stories that I find interesting but not necessarily worth a full blog:
First, according to Jonathan Alter of Newsweek, the fight over seating the Michigan and Florida delegates has actually led superdelegates to support Obama. Mostly his piece is about how Clinton could use the issue to help define her role in the [...]
Last night I was watching a losing campaign and starting to get a bit depressed (of course, I’m referring to the Cubbies), and I thought to myself; I wonder if Obama asked any superdelegates to hold off on publicly supporting them until tomorrow, to offset the expectedly large loss in West Virginia?
It seems like I [...]
Friday I said that Daryl Ward has been practically useless off the bench. Actually, as of Friday afternoon he was literally useless, as he had not had one hit in a pinch hit appearance.
Saturday, off the bench, he had an RBI single which scored Mark DeRosa (who’s been one of my better fantasy league pickups, [...]
Evidently John Edwards is not a very important person. I know this, because he told me so.
In two interviews given today, on the Today Show with Matt Lauer and on Morning Joe, he downplayed his importance with, well, everybody. Stating several times that he doesn’t have much, if any, influence on either campaign’s strategy or [...]
Scott Eyre was activated from the DL today, which was a very important move because the Cubs desperately needed another bullpen lefty. So far all they’ve had out of the ‘pen was Sean Marshall, who used to be a starter and is much better suited to long closing roles than the “face one batter and [...]
I was trying to ignore Clinton. I really was. I figure, like it or not, this primary is pretty much in the books. And since Clinton is really just delaying the inevitable, why not just forget about her and focus on McCain? But her little “misadventure” at the gas station had me rolling, and I [...]
