What upsets you more: A parent/adult driving a car with unbuckled children or when they smoke with chilren in the car?
David Gergen Points Out the Obvious
That the McCain Camp is using coded language about Obama in the long tradition of repubs using coded language to demonize black people and fire up their low-information voters: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfXvK84MPqQ[/youtube] And his last point is very true — everyone knows Obama is black, why can’t he talk about that? None of these folks pushed back […]
The Next Vice President of the United States.
Barack Obama’s announcement of his VP choice could come any day now. With the Olympics starting on Friday, and ending the weekend before the start of the Democratic convention, this coming week seems like an opitune time for him to announce. Further, it would end John McCain’s silly tantums, at least in the press’s eyes, […]
McCain: A Dishonest Politician Whose Own Mother Calls “Stupid”
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-u5mDZfrLw[/youtube] Newsweek: In the middle of John McCain’s dopey Britney & Paris attack ad, the announcer gravely asks of Barack Obama: “Is He Ready to Lead?” An equally good question is whether McCain is ready to lead. For a man who will turn 72 this month, he’s a surprisingly immature politician—erratic, impulsive and subject to […]
In the den of small town GOP
quotes “Obama scares the hell out of me” “he is unknown” “Have you read about him? REALLY, read about him” Yes, I’m liberal remember… “He’s not your kind of liberal, he’s, he’s almost, he’s almost socialist, communist” Insert laughing I’ve read his book Ms. Mayor, he’s not a communist silence “They need to allow us […]
Is Florida the new Ohio?
According to the Washington Post… yes. In 2000 and 2004, Florida was a bright spot on the nation’s economic landscape, reaping the rewards of a building boom that was drawing people to the state, filling government coffers and supplying jobs from construction to real estate sales to financial speculation. But Obama awoke Friday to a […]
QOD
From the Dialogue Delaware column in the NJ: Delaware Grapevine — the standard-setter of Delaware’s political comment lines — was lauded by everyone from politicians to fellow bloggers, all of whom expressed dismay at its demise. I don’t think you can classify our reaction as dismay. Are you dismayed? Can you go on?
Markell Flooding Northern Delaware with Ads.
I have seen this commercial every hour on nearly every channel I watch over the past three days. The ad buys seem to be on both Philadelphia air and Comcast cable. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlLe8_PwMWY[/youtube]
Sunday Talk Lineup
Courtesy of Sam Loomis on Daily Kos: THE LINEUP – Meet The Press: John Kerry (D-MA) and soon-to-be-irrelevant Joe Lieberman (R-McSame). Andrea Mitchell, Chuck Todd and Judy Woodruff have very serious and enlightened discourse about racial whining, meanwhile your local grocery is slowly pricing you out of their market. Important discussions. Tweety: Joe Klein, the […]
While the Parents are Away…
…the kids will play. Liberal Geek and Jason have gone on vacation. And I am reminded why I closed down my solo blog and joined a community blog! Posting all the content is hard work. Pandora and Cassandra, where are you?!? LOL. Anyway, I am playing with sidebars, and have cleaned out some dead links […]
What Could Have Been
Ted Blunt officially ended his campaign for Lt. Governor Friday, by filing the appropriate paperwork with the Department of Elections. Sure, he suspended his campaign months ago, but his name was still on the ballot, and Friday was the deadline to remove it. This simple act brings me back to Tom Carper’s secret plan to […]
On Drinking Liberally
I have been on the road for the past two days heading up to the Great White North and have been unable post. And as I type this I am riding in the passenger seat of the Civic hybrid trying not to criticize Mrs. Geeks driving. The event at Catherine Rooney’s went even better than […]
