Interesting Name in Obama’s New Hires
I just got an email today about the new people that Obama has hired to head into the general election. Among the names was one Patti Solis Doyle in the position of “Chief of Staff to the Vice Presidential Nominee.” Perhaps this means nothing, but Mrs. Doyle was the Campaign manager for Hillary’s campaign before […]
Blue-Gold Football Game Next Saturday
I haven’t made much of a secret of the fact that I am always interested in helping out disabled children. When one of our regular readers asked me to post on the upcoming Blue-Gold game, I was almost embarrassed that I hadn’t thought of it myself. I went to one of these games years ago […]
Worst. Decision. Ever?
McCain is making a play for the crazy-ass neocon vote again. On the campaign trail yesterday, he turned up the rhetoric about the Supreme Court’s decision in Boumediene v. Bush that detainees (which I think is an invented word) have the right to Habeas Corpus. The Supreme Court yesterday rendered a decision which I think […]
Delaware Liberal Summer Book Club: It’s On
OK, I know some won’t like it, but we are going for Obama’s Audacity of Hope as the first book. We will arrange for a date to get together (real or online) sometime after the 4th of July. In a hat tip to Disbelief, I will commit to have the real meeting (if it happens) […]
Bush Or McCain: On Women’s Health Issues
My Dad sent me this video after reading the “I’m Voting Republican” post by Cassandra. We could make this an ongoing game of Who Said It? I love the format. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7Z4dxjRv4g[/youtube] See how you do on the quiz.
Tim Russert is Dead
Tim Russert has died of a heart attack at the age of 58. The long hours of this campaign season can’t have been healthy.
Is Hillary Finally Free?
I wonder how many of Hillary’s life and political decisions were tied to a desire to be President. Would she have left Bill? Would she have voted against the war? Would she have triangulated her position on welfare and poverty? I’m serious. She has amassed a huge amount of political capital and I think is […]
If You Liked Kucinich’s UFO, You’re Gonna Love Jindal’s Demon
Word is that Piyush “Bobby” Jindal, the Governor of Lousiana, is a leading contender for McCain’s Veep spot. Word came out today, that he helped with an exorcism of a demon from a friend in college. The actual essay that he wrote describing the scene is subscription-only, but the excerpt reads like some sort of […]
Adventures in Parenting
My 11 year old son has gotten to the point that he requests WSTW be played when we are driving somewhere. Tonight as we drove to the Bear/Glasgow YMCA for a quick swim, I started listening to the lyrics of the song playing on the radio. The song is “I Kissed a Girl,” a techno-rock […]
Teleprompter Training Required
This video is just so painful to watch. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZaTgNMyw_0[/youtube] This is why people are going to run away from McCain. He doesn’t have any sense of style or presentation skills. Why even put crap like this up on youtube? It is so poorly done that it will not cause anyone to do anything.. except maybe […]
