John McCain said this week he was suspending his campaign to help solve the nation’s financial crisis. Like hell he did: In Ohio, Brenda Lewis of the Greene County Victory Office seemed surprised there was any doubt that the office would be open. “Suspension of the campaign?” she asked out loud, before saying that her colleagues would be phone banking, […]

I’d feel a WHOLE lot more comfortable with the government bailouts if fat cats like the CEO at AIG weren’t selling their shares a few days after the bailout to the tune of $1 BILLION. Seriously, this kind of thing couldn’t have been prohibited as part of the buyout deal? What the hell? Nicked from AMERICAblog. I’m just sayin’…

Wanna know what I think is one of the worst aspects of John McCain’s grandstanding and policizing of attempts to resolve our national financial “hiccup”? The fact that the rest of the world is watching our politicians act like complete douchebags in an effort to win an election. The Republicans should be ashamed of how they are behaving. And the […]

Wow. This is a total news flash. Turns out, according to Sarah Palin, that in order to have tax reductions, you need to reduce taxes. From her interview with Katy Couric: So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions. There you have it. I’m just sayin’…

I mean BEER! Beer! Not boobs. BEER! October Fest in Germany is awesome. I’m just oglin’…

And absolutely no meaning or substance whatsoever. No wonder they’re trying to cancel the debates, eh? Watch CBS Videos Online(Sorry ’bout the commericial.) Absolutely pathetic that she is McCain’s choice. Pathetic and so not “Country First” as to be completely laughable. He ought to be ashamed. Like one of Andrew Sullivan’s readers said: The Couric interview reminded me of an […]

Despite the McPalin campaign’s contention otherwise, Rick Davis still is quite involved with the company he started that received at least $15,000 a month until last month from Freddie Mac for doing nothing (yet). Lindsay Beyerstein at The Campaign Silo over at Firedog Lake unearthed proof. < whispers >Someone needs to tell the McPalin campaign about the internets. < /whispers […]

I’m looking at three separate pieces of information about the presidential race in Michigan and, taken as a whole, they point to very good news for the Obama campaign in November: 1. The registration of young people is HUGE and getting HUGER.2. The percentage of young people who voted in the primary in Michigan was much larger than usual this […]

This is Rick Davis. Rick Davis is one of the top honchos in John McCain’s campaign for president, his campaign manager, in fact. Rick Davis is a crook. He’s been getting paid for years by the failed Freddie Mac. Up until last month, he’s been getting $15,000 a month. For what? you might ask? Actually not much. It would appear […]

It’s been over a month since John McCain has done a “press availability” where he answers actual questions, ones he hasn’t prepared for ahead of time. Sarah Palin has been his vice-presidential candidate for over three weeks and has yet to do a press conference although the election is a scant six weeks from now. They are doing what appear […]

This diagram does the best job I’ve seen of showing why all this Drill Here, Drill Now bullshit is just that: bullshit. Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration Any questions? UPDATE: I’ve put this graphic and text together as a mini-poster (a PDF document) for you to download. Print this out. Show it to your friends. Let’s get ’em educated. […]
