I kinda like this guy’s writing. I’m just sayin’…

Remember this? Miss South Carolina had a pet phrase, “such as”, that she used as filler whenever she was trying to sound profound. Sarah Palin is just like this girl but her pet phrase is “also”. To whit, FIFTY-THREE TIMES in last night’s debate!!!. UPDATE: Here’s a “Greatest Also Hits” video: And here is a partial transcript. Read it and…Weep? […]

Although I know I shouldn’t be, I am flabbergasted that the media in this country seem to completely ignore the fact that, beyond making a little verbal flub here and there like anyone in the public spotlight is likely to do, Sarah Palin seems to have no interest in being grammatically correct and speaking in correct sentence. Here are but […]

Yesterday, Barack Obama appeared in East Lansing, Michigan, home of Michigan State University (my alma mater, 2 degrees and a daughter who goes there). There he spoke to a crowd of more than 18,000, mostly college students after having addressed a crowd of around 16,000 that morning in Grand Rapids. During his speech, he hit on a variety of topics […]

Last night’s vice presidential debate was very enjoyable for me. Joe Biden hit all the right notes and showed that he has a firm grasp on both domestic and foreign policy issues and supports his candidate’s positions on how to move forward. His demeanor was perfect: not too snarky and condescending but not too wishy-washy either. Sarah Palin, on the […]

Prediction: Palin will do just fine. The format pretty much ensures it. They each get 90 seconds to respond with an additional 2 minutes for discussion. No follow-up questions and a 2 minute closing statement. Palin is good at rambling on without saying anything of substance so filling 3½ minutes with nice-sound pablum will be no problem for her. Also, […]

McCain Giving Up on Michigan John McCain is pulling out of Michigan, according to two Republicans, a stunning move a month away from Election Day that indicates the difficulty Republicans are having in finding blue states to put in play. McCain will go off TV in Michigan, stop dropping mail there and send most of his staff to more competitive […]

Seems apropos of Sarah Palin to me: While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who’s hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Palin and her bid. The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Palin is a […]

I guess this little clip from Fox News doesn’t even really need any commentary. It’s such a blatant demonstration of how completely “bias” (that’s my new Republican term) they are that it speaks entirely for itself. Good God… I’m just sayin’…

Below is a composite photo of ten faces. The faces are people who attended one of Senator Obama’s rallies in Detroit, Michigan or the McCain/Palin rally in “Detroit” (Sterling Heights, actually). There are five of each. Try to guess which ones are which. And then add your own captions to each one, telling us what they are thinking/saying. I’ll publish […]

My wife has just predicted with great certainty that Sarah Palin will drop out of the race between now and the debate. After the release today of Katie Couric’s Vice Presidential interviews in which Sarah Palin completely implodes, I’m not so sure she’s wrong. If you haven’t seen this, may I suggest you get a towel or something to bite […]
