Obama Party (sort of)

Sunday, October 19, 2008

Obama lawn signs have been flying out of headquarters as fast as we can get them. We scheduled an event today to give out the signs we expected to arrive on Friday, along with any other Obama paraphernalia anyone wanted. The signs did arrive, but by 2:00 today, when the event started, the signs were […]

Rewards for good work

Saturday, October 18, 2008

This morning I told my wife I was sure that the Wall Streeters would be pulling down big bonuses this year, despite the fact that, objectively speaking, they’re performance has not been, shall we say, all that great. Via Americablog, I see that I was right, but that particular prediction was like shooting fish in […]

Good news, terrible news

Saturday, October 18, 2008

A lot of strange things are going on beneath the surface this election year. On the bright side, newpaper endorsements usually favor the Republicans.

A truly stupid suggestion

Thursday, October 16, 2008

John McCain said a lot of dumb things last night, and a lot of what he said has been scrutinized, deconstructed, debunked, and otherwise destroyed. I haven’t noticed that anyone picked up on this gem: We need to encourage programs such as Teach for America and Troops to Teachers where people, after having served in […]

Can’t help myself

Thursday, October 16, 2008

I agree with Atrios that this is unfair, but it’s too funny not to pass on. Probably everyone in the world has seen these already, but like fine wine they get better with age. Click on images to make them bigger. I posted them small to avoid distortion.

Lest I forget

Tuesday, October 14, 2008

One and all are invited to join us here at Groton Democratic Headquarters (where I am right now) tomorrow night for the third and final debate. We are located at 303 Route 12 in Groton. Look for the GEICO sign. This one should be interesting. McCain has promised to go negative to Obama’s face. How […]
