A bit more on the debate

Sunday, October 5, 2008

Thanks to a reader, who pointed me to this from Rachel Maddow: And, for anyone who hasn’t seen it, check out the SNL sketch from last night. You can view it here. For reasons I can’t fathom, the embed code doesn’t seem to work on my site.

Big night at Drinking Liberally

Thursday, October 2, 2008

By far the biggest night we’ve had. Over 30 people according to my wife’s count. Here we are drinking liberally: And here we are, or some of us, watching the debate: A quick observation about the debate. Had she been anyone else but Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin would have been mocked for her performance tonight. […]

Interesting

Thursday, September 25, 2008

I’m no big fan of Andrew Sullivan, though he does seem to have the intellectual honesty to be repelled by modern day Republicanism.

They resisted the Patriot Act’s Big Brother is Watching provisions requiring disclosure of library patron reading habits, and they have consistently opposed attempts at book banning of the type Palin was contemplating.

Heidi Simmons, the wife of our former Congressman, penned a letter to the Day, which I reproduce in full below: Gov. Sarah Palin is a good choice and she makes good choices.

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

In the legal biz we often distinguish between two sets of facts, in order to argue that the law should be applied in different ways to each. Oftentimes, while there may be a superficial dissimilarity between them, on a deeper level, there is none. The distinction is bogus, and we dismiss them as “distinctions without […]

Common Ground

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

Yet another question has been raised about Sarah Palin. It seems that she was a member of an Alaska splinter party that advocated secession. The “don’t call [themselves] Americans, [the] are Alaskans”. More than likely they’re tired of living off the dole on funds sent North from the lower 48. It is not unprecedented for […]
