Uneven, but kinda funny.
“We’re drilling in Brooklyn right now!”
If you are hunting for laughs as much as I am right now, John McCain calling non-tax paying, lying, attention craving ‘Joe the Plumber’ “an American Hero” and “my role model” notwithstanding, have a look.

I completed and mailed my ballot yesterday. Remember, to be safe, send in your vote-by-mail ballot right away. If it is not in the hands of the election officials by November 4th, then your vote will not be counted.
Obama/Biden *check*
NO on Prop 8 *check*
And I’m proud to be an American where [...]

I ignore most of the polls and take nothing for granted. If the supporters of your candidate of choice do not come out and vote in droves next Tuesday, then your candidate WILL NOT win. Both McCain and Obama understand this. If you intend to vote, don’t bore me with any excuses come Nov. 5 [...]

You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

Hat Tip - Grandpa Caligula

Watching America writhe through the throes of this political contest I’ve felt disillusioned and inspired; often whipsawing back and forth between the two in the same hour.
What’s disillusioned me?
Watching parents encourage their children to hate Barack Obama. (example at 2:54) When I first saw that footage a couple weeks ago, I broke down and [...]

According to Editor and Publisher,
Tennessee Tribune Publisher Rosetta Miller-Perry says she doesn’t mind embarrassing people if it makes them do the right thing. The right thing to do, she argues, is vote in the upcoming presidential election — so she’s embarrassing hundreds of registered voters who didn’t go to the polls in 2004.
In [...]

Big hat tip to Sandra Rose!
Enjoy. (Stay tuned for the surprise contestant toward the end…)

I read this story on Drudge and immediately thought “Tawana Brawley.” It did not make sense that this “victim” would not be bruised in the face (only sporting smeared eye make-up), that the assault took place away from the ATM cameras, and that her “attacker” would stand over her face and “carve,” without actually tearing [...]

In the latest example of what she calls “gotcha journalism,” Sarah Palin just got pwned by a third grader whose biased temerity compelled him to ask, “What does the vice-president do?”

Mrs. Palin’s answer:

PALIN: That’s something that Piper would ask me! … [T]hey’re in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can [...]

UPDATE: Politicker.com features a “cartoon” of Colin Powell as Benedict Arnold in blackface. “Benedict Powell…race patriot.” It is repugnant and should be an affront to all decent people.

When I awoke yesterday morning to learn that Colin Powell had endorsed Barack Obama I was exhilarated. I remain a firm supporter of Colin Powell’s although I have [...]

MUCH more fun than the original - dontcha think?

Do did you see Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live? What did you think?
Maybe it’s just in my head but I felt a small tug of discomfort watching as Palin played with the others. Try as everyone might, the interactions between the cast and Palin fell a little short of breezy. Why? Who knows? [...]

One of the saddest realities of this political season is that Barack Obama or John McCain will become the next President of these United States without being asked a single serious question about their thoughts on the state of America’s “justice system.” We only have ourselves to blame for that omission. We are so caught [...]

Those elusive ‘Undecided Voters’
My hunch is that most of you reading this blog know who you will vote for on November 4th. I would be curious to speak to anyone truly undecided to find out what their core unresolved issue is. To the credit of both candidates, both of whom spout enough bluster to cloud [...]

I am so excited to let you know that I will be joining the ever talented Kevin Ross on his Blogtalkradio show at 8:30pm PST following tonight’s debate. We will discuss the debate and the final 20 days of this mind blowing, consciousness stretching, soul revealing presidential campaign.
Kevin is one of my favorite Republicans and [...]
