My favorite Part of The Debate
I don’t talk about it a whole lot, because I like to keep my family life private, but I get what Joe Biden was saying about being a single father. Luckily, I didn’t have to face the tragedy he did, … Continue reading →

The Debate Results
I don’t see a lot to choose from on this debate. I thought Palin began to stumble/ramble off point once, but she held it together fairly well. My other major criticism of her is that she avoided answering some questions … Continue reading →

The Stock Market and Things to Look For

Who Runs the USA?
My last post on “Who You Would Hire” sparked some comments. Some people chimed in that the President does not “run” the country. I say it is a matter of view. Because the President has the right to veto and … Continue reading →

Women’s Rights
If you look on my blogroll I have a lot of different groups, from the ACLU to the NRA. From time to time I like to highlight those I think are doing a good work. The group “Evil Slutopia” is … Continue reading →

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. … Continue reading →

Hillary Clinton
Watching the video introduction of Hillary Clinton, complete with daughter Chelsea on commentary, I feel like this is a Hillary Clinton I have never seen before. Though I was in Barack Obama’s camp fairly early, had this Hillary Clinton story … Continue reading →

Dennis Kucinich Speaks at the DNC
I have no idea why Democrats have never rallied around Dennis Kucinich as a national candidate. He is spot on when speaks of the utter contemptible administration that George W Bush has presided over with a smirk. His speech today … Continue reading →

Michelle Obama at the DNC “We’re Just Like You”
Michelle Obama’s speech was heartfelt, passionate and executed very well. She did what she had to do to portray her husband as a “regular” American with an exotic name. I do not believe the speech will make much of a … Continue reading →
