Whatever else we do over the next year, we must committ ourselves to a concerted group action aimed at getting Rick Jensen off the air. His daily lies and smears cannot be laughed off any longer. Jensen is a blot on our civil discourse and must be removed like a malignant tumor. Letter writing campaign, […]

Let’s jump to conclusions and assume that not only is Biden going to be VP, but he is going to be such a kick-ass VP that he will have a Bio-pic directed by Martin Scorsese. I’ll start… Joe Bidenthe hero, played by Tommy Lee Jones. Tom Carper, the doofy sidekick, played by Steve Buscemi. Celia […]

On a thread about McCain’s houses a plea arose for a discussion on “Real Issues”. Fine with me. Read both candidates’ plans and vision when it comes to Education, and tell us what you think. Obama’s here. McCain’s here. Ready, set… GO!

How many houses do you own?

Filed in National by on August 22, 2008 131 Comments

Pretty simple one to answer.  I have 1 unless you count the corner bar as my vacation home.  This would have buried Kerry and Obama.  McCain, awww how cute, grandpa forgets he has 10 homes.  Elitist?  NO, never!  Former POW’s can’t be elitist.  Just forgetful, confused and disoriented.  Elitist though, can’t have one of them […]
