Apparently the Republican candidate for Vice President is qualified for office because Sarah Palin world champion caliber when it comes to staring contests. Several times in her recent interview with Charles Gibson she mentioned how when faced with a critical choice she didn’t/hasn’t/wouldn’t/won’t blink. She knows what she’s gonna do and doesn’t hesitate to go […]
Tomorrow is another anniversary of al Qaeda’s attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and of course the thwarted attempt at possibly the White House which ended in a Pennsylvania field. To mark the sad anniversary both presidential campaigns will be taking the day off, although we’re sure to hear plenty about their individual […]
In the past I’ve said Hillary Clinton should not be forced to end her quest for the Democratic presidential nomination until she is mathematically eliminated from the contest, and I’m sticking by that stance. It’s just that right now I’m not really seeing what she has to gain by staying in this thing.

In case you haven’t heard much about it lately, that Iraq War thing is still churning away on the other side of the globe. It’s kind of settled into the status quo of an eternal war and the media’s grown bored. It seems they’d rather tell us about the sex lives of politicians and their […]

“So […]
As the media continues to make itself look foolish trying to cover the Presidential election as if it were a sporting event, the actual candidates are making the rounds and trying to talk down about each other without seeming like they’re talking bad about anyone. It’s a delicate art that the players at this level […]
This week Presidential candidate Mitt Romney gave what everyone described as a “big” speech to explain his religious views. The conventional wisdom is that, as a Mormon, Romney must explain himself if he ever hopes to win over those wonderful evangelical Christians who did so much to get Our Fine President his two terms in […]
Condolleeza Rice seems very earnest in her efforts to broker a peace deal between Israel and at the very least about half of the Palestinian people. The noted scholar of history (as the White House likes to portray her) has been studying up on Middle East history and even calling on the right’s favorite punching […]
OK, it’s time to talk Turkey.
I know I hate when the Thanksgiving decorations go up before Halloween is over, but since that holiday’s delicacy’s namesake is busy in the news right now, I’ll make an exception just this once.
