Of Palin, Obama, Myself and Pot

In a previous post I said, correctly, that Sarah Palin has admitted to smoking pot.  Reader Patrick pointed out that Obama has also admitted to the use and when he read the entry Paul made comments about Palin’s use being good, since it increases the likelihood of a sensible drug policy (of course I am [...]

Maybe This Palin Thing Is Just a Joke?

Ron-stock, More Evidence of a Fractured Republican Party

Ron Paul was not invited to have ANY role at the Republican National Convention- even though he BEAT John McCain in voting in both Nevada and Montana. Undaunted, Paul is throwing a counter-convention in Minneapolis in defiance of the GOP called RONSTOCK!
Unified party?
Cheers,

Jack Cafferty on The Choice of Sarah Palin

Don’t Waste Your Time With Yahoo!’s “Political Dashboard”

I went to the Yahoo! Political Dashboard to get an update on state races.  They color in the states red or blue for the ones that a candidate is leading solidly, stripe it with the appropriate color background for someone barely winning, make it black for a tie and gray if there is no state [...]

Fissures in Republican Unity?

The press spent a lot of time before the Democratic National Convention talking about the alleged exodus of Hillary Clinton.  The story line went that female voters were going to leave behind the issues they fought to achieve when they worked for Clinton and accept a pro-life, anti-equal work for equal pay candidate, John McCain.
Now [...]

Sarah Palin Flip-Flopped on “The Bridge To Nowhere”

Jesus, what hath McCain wrought upon the electorate?

Charles Babington Find New Work

Last night MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann uttered the words of the subject line after reading the piece o’ shit article AP writer Charles Babington had written.  He blasted Obama’s speech with a description that was not only erroneous, but it was false.
Editor Greg Mitchell of Editor and Publisher wrote today:
Nearly all of the top [...]

Sarah Palin on Marijuana

Time.com is reporting she said, “I can’t claim a Bill Clinton and that I never inhaled”.
Right winger Andrew Sullivan also reports the quote here.
CBS reports it.
And many others…
I am FOR the legalization of marijuana.  The only reason I am bringing this up is because Sarah Palin is an anti-pot republican.  Apparently marijuana did not [...]

Sarah Palin Agreed With Barack Obama’s Energy Plan

This blog entry is the best catch on Palin I have read.  Apparently she has ALREADY flip-flopped on her energy stance.  That has to be some sort of dubious record.

The Politics of Beauty

Earlier today I posted a picture I found on the internet of when Sarah Palin was a “beauty queen”.
Someone asked why, and it got me thinking…  why does it matter if I post that pick?
Not that the comment was alluding to this, but the elephant tip-toeing through the room right now is the assumption that [...]

He Won Millions of Republican Votes, But is NOT John McCain’s Running Mate; Why? For Telling the Truth!

John McCain ran an ad using the words of Hillary Clinton against Barack Obama stating that she won millions of votes, but is NOT Barack Obama’s running mate.  Then asked, “Why?”  And answered, “For Telling the Truth!”
So it is with great pleasure that I now turn the tables on McCain and state that *HE* did [...]

Savagely Stolen News: Sarah Palin’s Bungled Land Deal

Leave it up to John McCain to pick a running mate that as Mayor bungled a land deal that cost her small community over a million dollars- leading to INCREASED TAXES and fewer services.

Sarah Palin Was My Mayor!

And by that I mean she was THIS GUY’S Mayor- he named the link “Sarah Palin Was My Mayor”.
Go there and see how effective she was as a Mayor.

Savagely Stolen News: Karl Rove on the Importance of Vice Presidential Experience

Read this article from unwillatom. I read it and was going to do more research and cite them as a source, then realized that they summed it up about as best as anyone- all of the emphasis marks is the writer’s not mine.
Cheers,

How To Tell If You’re a Moron

I try to balance out the political stuff that Tom so expertly posts on here with entertainment showbiz blither and boxing talk. That’s my job. I’m the fluffer of this site, so to speak. However, today’s developments combined with this week’s Democratic National Convention have led me to a conclusion which I must share with [...]

What Do the People of Alaska Think About Sarah Palin?

Well, she *did* have a great approval rating in the 90th percentile that has been dropping off… Here is a blog written by a citizen in Alaska about John McCain’s pick of former pot smoker Sarah Palin.

Current Sarah Palin Scandal

Alleged “hottie” Sarah Heath (Palin) in 1982, #22
You would think Senator John McCain would have picked someone not CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED, but I guess not.
From her wiki account:
Public Safety Commissioner dismissal controversy
Governor Palin is currently under investigation by an independent investigator hired by a legislative panel to determine if she abused her power when firing [...]

Sarah Palin’s on Issues, Part II

Miss Wasilla 1984, Sarah Palin
From Sarah Palin’s wikipedia account:
Matanuska Maid Dairy closure
When the Alaska Creamery Board recommended closing Matanuska Maid Dairy, an unprofitable state-owned business, Palin objected, citing concern for the impact on dairy farmers and the fact that the dairy had just received $600,000 in state money. When Palin realized that the Board of [...]

Experience? Who Needs Experience?, The Choice of Sarah Palin and Her Stance on the Issues

So the same John McCain who has bashed Senator Barack Obama for a lack of experience has gone and picked a person with less experience than Obama. Additionally, while Obama has only modest foreign relations experience, Sarah Palin has ZERO. In an age of a “war on terror”. In an age when [...]

Barack Obama’s Speech

Sometimes you look at a piece of art, see a band live or feel an embrace from a loved one and the moment becomes a crescendo of euphoria so encompassing that mere words fail to appropriately describe them.  Tonight I witnessed that feeling in a speech.
While I was watching the speech live I thought about [...]

Also of Note

It was a pleasure to watch the speech tonight with several other Obama supporters.  Amongst the crowd was city of Salisbury councilwoman Terry Cohen.
Though I live in my hometown, the greatest little town on Earth, Delmar, Maryland, I work for the city of Salisbury.  The politics of the city are a third rail for me [...]

Pictures of the Biden Family, Part II

The first entry with a link to Biden Family pictures is the most visited post in this page’s history. I posted it as an afterthought, really, but because of demand I have searched high and low for more pictures and found 154 more of them here.
Enjoy,

The Acceptance Speech of Barack Obama

There were some, uh, “technical” difficulties in hearing Barack Obama’s speech clearly in all parts, so I am going to re-watch it now that I am home.  I will also go into the “technical” difficulties tomorrow.  There is another party to blame for this and I have sent them notice of my impeding criticism on [...]

Nicely Played Senator McCain!

Tonight Senator McCain will run a one-day-only ad in which he says, “Senator Obama, this is truly a good day for America. Too often the achievements of our opponents go unnoticed. So I wanted to stop and say, congratulations. How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day. Tomorrow, we’ll be back at [...]
