Long waits in Florida

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

At some […]

Silver Linings

Monday, October 20, 2008

I’m still groggy from staying up last night to watch the Sox go down in flames. A valiant effort, but it was not to be. However, it’s an ill wind that blows no good. Has the Rays lost, Obama might not have benefitted so much from having six of the Rays standing with him in […]

Paranoia Strikes Deep

Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Sarah Palin is campaigning in Pennsylvania and is denouncing the “unconscionable voter fraud” going on in Pennsylvania. While the media is dutifully running with, and misrepresenting the story, it is an issue unlikely to have much resonance with the voters, particularly coming from the representatives of a party that is widely suspected of stealing the […]
