Can’t resist

Sunday, August 31, 2008

Again, thanks to a reader that tipped me off to the latest rumors about Sarah Palin. This is the best account I’ve seen, though it’s also covered at Buzzflash. There are a number of things about the story that lend credence to the speculation, the picture at the linked article being one. Another is the […]

Market forces

Saturday, August 30, 2008

Recently I was having a conversation with a friend. Actually, it wasn’t a conversation, it was more like we were taking turns ranting. It will come as no surprise that we were talking politics. During the course of the conversation one of us mentioned the Republican mantra that the market will take care of all […]

If true, it would be unsurprising, as it appears that less thought went into this decision than I made today choosing an ice cream flavor at Salem Valley Farms […]

Friday Night Music-Bob Dylan

Friday, August 29, 2008

Obama’s speech

Friday, August 29, 2008

For the record, I thought it was excellent. You can quibble about points he failed to make, or that he might have emphasized more, but he made his case and he put McCain in his place nicely. I don’t have the video skills, and didn’t tape the speech in any event, but I have a […]

Utter contempt for the American people

Friday, August 29, 2008

At least it wasn’t Joe Lieberman. 20 years ago (is it really that long) the first George Bush chose Dan Quayle as his running mate, primarily, it seemed and still seems, to avoid nominating anyone who could possibly be perceived as being better presidential material than himself. He had to look long and far, but […]

Hilariously funny. Don’t give up, the good part’s toward the end.
