Palin again

September 18th, 2008 · No Comments

Amid all the misinformation that flies around the net—like that bizarre little film that says Obama endorses last minute abortions where babies are put on garbage paper to die!—one thing I have yet to disprove: that Sarah Palin sued the Federal Government to take polar bears off the endangered species list, so they could be [...]

Some people will not vote for Barack Obama because he is Black.
I have a friend, otherwise a stellar woman, who will not vote for Obama because he is Black.
To those like this who loathe George Bush [...]

Read what women have to say about Palin

September 16th, 2008 · No Comments

As a resident of rural Alaska, I speak from a perspective of one who has had to experience the detrimental policies and world view of Palin. Any thought I may have given to listening to what McCain has to say has now been completely annihilated due to his choice of running mate. Palin can not [...]

Take snopes.com with you when you read your email

September 14th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I just want to add a brief comment about the political emails that flood in these days. For example, I got one with several pictures of Sarah Palin that I am certain have been faked.

Like John McCain . . .

September 12th, 2008 · No Comments

I am not swift on economics.
But I wonder why the investors in the private two Freddies made lotsa money not so long ago
but
taxpayers are bailing out the businesses in these bad times!
I wonder the same thing about Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and whatever other privates-saved-by-public are coming at us down the road.
Sounds like a bit [...]

Protecting mizrus daisy

September 8th, 2008 · No Comments

From a recent Washington Post:
“Why would we want to throw Sarah Palin into a cycle of piranhas called the news media that have nothing better to ask questions about than her personal life and her children?” Davis said, adding: “Until . . . we feel like the news media is going to treat her with [...]

Keith, Chris, and the good life

September 8th, 2008 · No Comments

Well, the anti-libs are aflame with satisfaction these days since MSNBC or its parent NBC have pulled Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews from anchor chairs at the election and returned them to their home turf of analysis and color.

Anchorage on Palin

September 4th, 2008 · 8 Comments

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a “task that is from God.”
