liar, liar, granny panties on fire
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fought to protest atrocities in Sudan by dropping assets tied to the country’s brutal regime from the state’s multi-billion-dollar investment fund, she claimed during Thursday’s vice presidential debate. Not quite, according to a review of the public record – and according to the recollections of a legislator and others who pushed […]
Bonnie Jacobs Has Passed Away.
Jill Biden’s mother, Bonnie Jacobs, has died. Her illness recently took a turn for the worse, as her doctors at the hospice she was receiving care at in Pennsylvania recently told the Biden family to stay close by over this weekend. What is even more sad about this is that Beau Biden deployed this morning […]

Monday morning read
If you don’t read Frank Rich every Sunday morning, well, what’s wrong with gosh darnit? But the debate’s most telling passage arrived when Biden welled up in recounting his days as a single father after his first wife and one of his children were killed in a car crash.

Obama Blocks McCain’s Last Gambit
McCain is going negative. Sarah Palin has already gone negative, saying Obama is best friends with a terrorist.

Wright, to little […]

Obama and My 7 Year Old Daughter
As I was putting my 7 year old daughter to bed on Thursday night (just before the debate) my daughter says, “Daddy, if Obama wins, will he make gas prices go up?” I was a little stunned, but I recovered quickly. “Hmm. I don’t know. I guess that it is possible that he might raise […]
Rolling Stone On McCain
Yikes! Check out how Rolling Stone rips John McCain a new one. In its broad strokes, McCain’s life story is oddly similar to that of the current occupant of the White House. John Sidney McCain III and George Walker Bush both represent the third generation of American dynasties. Both were born into positions of privilege […]
What Fiscal Conservatives?
Missed this on Friday, but the National Debt passed $10 Trillion Dollars. And as the article reports: “gross national debt as a percentage of the gross domestic product has, under the Bush Administration, hit a 50-year high. The debt grew the fastest under supply-siders Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush. As the […]
