October 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Just when I think I will not again mention Sarah Palin, she appears spouting more insidious nonsense. This time, she rakes up Obama’s private Weatherman, with whom he sat on a board in Chicago some years ago.
Linking Bill Ayers to Obama is, of course, the McCain camp’s desperate attempt to equate 60’s homegrown radicals who [...]

Palin on Journalistic Ethics

October 1st, 2008 · No Comments

Did you catch the walking interview segment Katie Couric did with Palin when KC inquired about the magazines Palin read? Waving her exquisite fingers, Sarah Palin said, “Oh, I read them all.” Asked for specifics, she burbled something like Oh I just read all that come in front of me.
I was delighted to come upon [...]

Delusion as national priority

September 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Well, I lost an internet friend today over current politics. I’m not sure what has happened to good old American give and take over these matters, but because I told him I would not listen to several McCain ads that he forwarded because I found McCain to be a liar, he delivered unto to me [...]

Evaluating the first presidential debate

September 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments

No one who reads this blog will be amazed to know that I found Obama by far the more impressive. I don’t like talking about winners and losers as though ideas were 3-baggers or 2-baggers.
But I found Obama more civil by far, more genuine, and more substantive than McCain.
Whatever McCain says, he has decades [...]

Alaskan witches beware

September 26th, 2008 · No Comments

If you have not heard Sarah Palin’s preacher pray the witchcraft out of her, you probably should. It is not every day that such ceremonies occur with candidates for national office.
To bad Arthur Miller is not around to see this one.

Just don’t let integrity get in your way . . .

September 21st, 2008 · 4 Comments

PBS is currently running a poll that includes a question about Palin’s qualifications to be VP.
Lo and behold, what is zooming around inboxes on the net but the following:
Everyone in favor of McCain/Palin or in just Palin, let’s absolutely flood this website……
Takes 5 seconds.
Let’s turn this around!!!
Friends,
PBS has a short video on Sarah Palin on [...]

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 [...]
