First, Paris Hilton has produced what has got to be a spectactular rebuttal to John McCain’s “Celebrity Ad.”   Personally, I never found Paris to be “hot,” and I am probably the only straight male that does not find her attractive in the slightest (it must be that skanky quality to her, or knowing that a […]

Well, you got it now. Oh some evil slant anti catholic slant has apparently been tickling the ear of Mr. Newton I have come to read today.  Apparently the Catholic readership we sought out in our massive advertising push over the Easter Break is not going as planned.  Apparently the devout readers are a might bit […]

Will the real maverick please rise

Filed in National by on August 5, 2008 5 Comments

It doesn’t count if you have to remind people of what you supposedly represent. The original maverick? Seems to me McCain is losing his brand. The ad is pathetic and *sigh* desperate. And not the least bit mavericky.

In this country without video proof and a good lawyer, you can just about get away with anything….Well, we may have the video proof. The Bush administration informed all foreign intelligence and law enforcement teams visiting their citizens held at Guantanamo Bay that video and sound from their interrogation sessions would be recorded, according to […]

That was a refrain used by Hillary Clinton in her campaign.  It is now being used by John McCain in his campaign.  And John Carney, with respect to the Bluewater Wind deal, and now in response to Jack Markell’s plans to invest $20 million in state college financial aid and assistance programs, is using the […]

WGMD Can’t Spell or Tell What is News.

WGMD First, it is spelled “poll.” Second, an unscientific internet poll on your own website is not a poll you report as news.   For example, I haven’t reported the stunning (or perhaps unsurprising news) that Joe Biden is the runaway favorite for the Democratic Vice Presidential nomination.
