Today I did one of the above: I voted early. I was happily greeted with my official absentee ballot Thursday morning. As soon as I got home from work I filled the sucker in. Today I will go post it. I feel great. I love democracy.

That’s funny
It was the only appropriate title. This is funny. Fox News has always been accused of having a right-winged Republican slant but yet calling itself ‘fair and balanced.’ If ever there was a greater example of how much this is not true, I don’t know of one.
Burns my biscuits
John McCain really burns my biscuits. With the failure of the bailout plan, what does he do? He blames Obama and the Democrats of “putting politics ahead of country”. What does Obama do? He tells everyone to calm down and that we will get through this. How classy is that? It just makes me like [...]
As useful as tits on a boar
I know the decision has been made and there isn’t any going back. I know that a lot of ink has been spilled discussing how ridiculous Sarah Palin is as a VP candidate but here is an excellent piece I just read. If the pundits and journalists are still talking about it, it must still [...]
On that debate
Obama and McCain met for the first time last night to debate as official Presidential nominees. Thank God for the digital video recorder. I watched the debate with earnest this morning. As you know I am a staunch Obama supporter and Democrat but, honest, I went in with as open a mind as possible. I [...]
Even the Huckster agrees
McCain made ‘huge mistake,’ Huckabee says “You can’t just say, ‘World stop for a moment. I’m going to cancel everything,” Huckabee told the Associated Press Thursday.
McCain madness
This whole ordeal whereby McCain has announced he is suspending his campaign and wants the debate postponed is rubbish, absolute codswollop. Just when I thought he couldn’t sink any lower, he did. He cannot be trusted. He will stab people in the back as quickly as look at them. It was not an admirable move; [...]
Would you like a map, sir?
I’m not going to get into the whole ‘was he confused’ debate regarding John McCain’s rather lukewarm sentiments for Spain and its PM Jose Luis Zapatero. I will merely link to this article on Guardian and point out my favourite paragraph. So, to clarify matters for McCain: Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is the lefty prime [...]
You know it’s bad
When the King Of Sleaze Karl Rove himself says you are over-stepping the boundaries of ethical, appropriate campaign advertising, you know you’re the sleazy candidate. That’s right, Karl Rove has said John McCain’s recent Obama-bashing ads go too far. How bad is that? I would have thought, or at least hoped, McCain would have learned [...]
Right, because that’s not at all sexist
A Sarah Palin doll is now on sale in your nearest store. Watch the video. I thought the Hillary Clinton nutcracker was funny but this isn’t. If she were just dressed in a suit, similar to the Clinton doll, then I wouldn’t mind. It’s a little annoying and creepy but to each his own. It’s [...]
