Friday Night Music-RNC edition

Friday, September 5, 2008

I am truly sick of writing about, nay, thinking about Sarah Palin. I am going to make a vow to avoid the topic for at least a week. It being Friday Night, I can avoid writing about anything, should I please, which is what I’m going to do, except to note in passing that John […]

Heidi Simmons says we can’t criticize Sarah Palin

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

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. Male politicians have been dictating areas unfamiliar to them a little bit too long. I am writing about pregnancy. And I am writing […]

A Distinction without a difference

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 […]

Yet another Drinking Liberally coming up

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

How can we not have a good time Thursday night, 6:30 at the Bulkeley House on Bank Street in New London. We had a great convention, and the Republicans are disintegrating. One of our members can now completely relax; his worst fears have not been realized. Joe Lieberman was not the VP nominee. On the […]

They can dish it out…

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

But they can’t take it. John McCain has cancelled an appearance on the Larry King Show because he is upset that Campbell Brown of CNN refused to let McCain spokeman Tucker Bounds spout talking points about Palin’s experience. She actually asked for facts. I posted an excerpt of the exchange yesterday. According to McCain, she […]

P.O.W.

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

Yet another great Robert Greenwald film: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KjsEs46C70[/youtube] It is an amazing thing that an entire nation would feel it necessary to collectively agree that being a former POW is a plus for a presidential candidate. Isn’t a person with that history far more likely to have emotional scars that would make him or her less […]

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 […]

That’s not vetting you can believe in!

Monday, September 1, 2008

Sarah Palin is a disaster for the country. It remains to be seen whether she is a disaster for John McCain. What does not remain to be seen is whether John McCain is competent to be president. We now have proof positive that he is not. He apparently chose someone to be vice-president, and possibly […]
