McCain Forgets, Example #1,387,259

Filed in National by on August 15, 2008 8 Comments

In the video clip below, the pretend President, John McCain, who has sent a pretend delegation to Georgia, thus traitorously interfering with U.S. foreign policy, says that the Georgian-Russian War is the first serious international crisis since the end of the cold war. Let that sink in. Since 1990, in McCain’s mind, there have been […]

Took him long enough.   For those who are unaware, Senator Ted Stevens, the longest serving Republican in the U.S. Senate, was indicted last month by a federal grand jury for filing false financial disclosure reports that withheld information about more than $250,000 in improvements to his home, paid for by a private oil services company.   […]

Didn’t anyone else raise an eyebrow on this one?

Filed in National by on August 15, 2008 6 Comments

I did.  I found it wierd and a bit out of place when McCain announced he HE was sending a delegation to Georgia.  I thought first to myself, isn’t he only a senator.  Then I said obviously it is an election year.  Then I looked at Chimpy McFlag at the Olympics and said, well Maverific […]

39 years ago today… On Aug. 15, 1969, half a million people descended on a dairy farm outside Woodstock, N.Y., to celebrate three days of music, marking one of the most important and legendary events of the 1960s. American conservatives were so freaked out by the sight of it that they spent the next 30 […]

McCain’s VP Problem

Filed in National by on August 15, 2008 18 Comments

With all the speculation surrounding Obama’s VP pick I haven’t been paying attention to McCain’s dilemma. And, boy does he have a problem. Correction: Problems. Romney? Out of the running when it comes to Evangelicals. Ridge? Pro-lifers don’t want him and NARAL warns that Ridge won’t help soften McCain’s stance on women’s rights. Talk about […]

IPOD Version 2.0

Filed in National by on August 15, 2008 6 Comments

The IPOD, the party of open government and transparency, again made its nominations for statewide and assembly races last night, in secret.   The party of inclusion had three of its members on its executive committee make the nominations.  These three member’s choices? Ralph Nader for President.   Immediately I question their sanity. Tom Savage for Insurance […]

Moral Complicity

Steve D of the Booman Tribune has written a spectactular piece that nicely sums up my thoughts over the last few days after the cold blooded murder of Arkansas Democratic Leader Bill Gwatney. Yet, after losing his job (or leaving it), the first action [Timothy Dale Johnson] decided to take was to murder a prominent […]

So It’s Not Money That Grows On Trees?

Filed in National by on August 14, 2008 7 Comments

According to repub Bill Sali, oil apparently does grow on trees. Or grow in trees. Or something not related to rock formations. Anyway, somehow this repub — whose current claim to fame is in currently flashing his petticoats in the Drill Here Drill Now burlesque — has decided to upend every bit of geology discovered […]
