Video Press Releases

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

More from your liberal media. I don’t watch much television, and of course we’re not in a swing state, so I haven’t seen this in action, but this post at The Washington Monthly is entirely and depressingly believable. John McCain doesn’t actually have to pay to run his ads on television. The networks take care […]

Hillary Done Good

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

From my vantage point, bleary as I was late last night, I thought Hillary did a good job. Whether she meant it or not (and I’m not buying into the body language crap, yet another new low in journalism), is almost beside the point. As a man I presume was wise once said, “The secret […]

Party Thursday! (and some meandering thoughts)

Tuesday, August 26, 2008

The Groton Democrats have a headquarters! It opened on Monday. We’re located at 303 Route 12 in the same building as Geico Insurance. We’re going to try to keep it open on a regular basis. If you’re from Groton, or would like to have the pleasure of being in Groton, drop by the headquarters on […]

Back to Earth

Saturday, August 23, 2008

With much regret, I report that I am back in Connecticut. In many respects, I may just as well have spent the last two weeks in space. In fact, had I been in space I might have been more connected with events in the wider world, as I most likely would have had internet access. […]

Impeach him now

Friday, August 15, 2008

We have had no access to the net, and we haven’t read the papers much, since we got her to VT. A couple of days ago we gathered from the front page of a newspaper that Bush was planning on sending troops to Georgia. It seems we have critical interests there, as we do in […]

Nice rant

Friday, August 8, 2008

The following rant (and I don’t use that word pejoratively, good rants are valuable things) was passed on to me by a correspondent, and I eventually got permission from the author (who shall remain unnamed) to reprint it. I thought it was good. I’ve modified it slightly by adding some introductory words and embedding the […]

Who put Barack on the currency?

Monday, August 4, 2008

One of my most frequent commenters pointed out that John McCain put Obama on a dollar bill some time ago. So it would appear that Obama wasn’t just speculating when he said they’d be pointing out that he doesn’t look like other presidents on the currency: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDTJDv4hevU&eurl[/youtube] This line of attack would be truly baffling […]

Losing it

Sunday, August 3, 2008

It’s pretty clear that this is going to be a dirty election. Obama has the choice of getting dirty, or losing. Just like Kerry. A modest suggestion. Suggest ever so subtly that McCain is, shall we say, losing it. At this point he appears to be already as senile as Reagan was when he left […]
