As I woke this morning to the fantastic news of Obama’s election I was, at first, speechless. It is only in the past hour that I have come up with anything worthwhile to say. It may be cheesy but, by God, it’s how I feel and I don’t care.
I didn’t sleep all that well last [...]

I have but two words to say today (albeit repeatedly): GO VOTE, GO VOTE, GO VOTE!!!!

A good op-ed column in the New York Times today regardless of my smugness about the following:
Two years ago, a list of the nation’s brainiest cities was put together from Census Bureau reports — that is, cities with the highest percentage of college graduates, which is not the same as smart, of course.
These are vibrant, [...]

John McCain has told CNN that an Obama administration would be more vulnerable to terrorist attacks. He claims he has been tested and, therefore, enemies would not want to test him again. Not only are his statements arrogant beyond belief but they are also completely and utterly wrong. I even have a bit of evidence [...]

I find it extremely interesting how events can change the outcome of an election. In 2004, Kerry was blown out of the water by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads. One could argue that had these advertisements not aired, Kerry could have narrowly defeated Bush in the polls. On the other hand, it was [...]

The classic humour of Arkansas political columnist John Brummet strikes again. His most recent article on the final debate is so entertaining to read. He describes how the debate went in his own head. Imagine if you were a fly on the wall of a bar where McCain and Obama were having a beer; that’s [...]

Good day one and all. I have watched the final presidential debate and offer up my analysis. I’m sure you’ve been sitting on the edge of your seat since it ended last night wondering what I had to say.
The first point I wish to bring up is John McCain’s over-use, arguably abuse, of the word [...]

I found this investigation into alleged special perks for the McCain ranch from Verizon wireless interesting and a little off the beaten path. There’s so much out there at the moment, I thought this might not be a day-stopping headline but something to make note of nonetheless.

Obama has trouble with pronunciation; Palin has problems putting sentences (and words, for that matter) together. Check out this doozy of a reply to why Obama’s alleged association with Bill Ayers is important:
“It is pertinent, it’s important because when you consider Barack Obama’s reaction to and explanation to his association there, and without him being [...]

I’m just finishing the last bit of the Presidential debate from Tuesday night. Thank God for digital recorders. You know my views on Obama and McCain; that’s not the point of this post. I would just like to change one teeny, tiny thing about Obama: his pronunciation of the words Pakistan and Taliban.
I first noticed [...]
