Obama is our Mulligan

Golf – I don’t do it. I might even go so far as to say that I have an aversion to it. I am at an age at which the time and money needed to bring me from a fumbling novice to someone other people might actually want to play with is prohibitive. That, and [...]

5 Out of 5 Economists Agree – Clinton Idea is Dumb

The McCain-Clinton Gas Tax Holiday proposal is a monumentally bad idea and just another example of the short-sightedness of these two candidates.
Do people care? I am not sure.
We have a knee-jerk, band aid fix that will arbitrarily force down the price of gas encouraging Americans to drive more over the summer. I am no economist [...]

“Monica Lewinsky Could be Secretary of Defense”

Did anyone else see Garry Shandling on ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ tonight? I had forgotten how funny he was. Why isn’t this guy still on television? He was the best part of tonight’s panel.
We have Phil Donahue, who is trying to make some kind of comeback and looked as if he were earnestly desiring [...]

Hillary Clinton for President 2012

Here’s some fodder for the conspiracy theorists among us. James Clyburn, (D) South Carolina and House Democratic Whip, mentioned in an interview yesterday that he is hearing speculation that
Clinton is staying in the race only to try to derail Obama and pave the way for her to make another White House run in 2012.
According to [...]

Hillary Loves Long Goodbyes

Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Kruger, Leatherface, Hillary Clinton, Care Bears and herpes: Terrifying things that refuse to go away.
Just when you think Hillary is done – her campaign in debt, losing in delegates and popular vote, viewed as dishonest by 58% of Americans and making ridiculous ‘mistakes’ such as concocting stories about her experience [...]

Things You Are Never Supposed to Say

If you are self-professed political junkie who has followed this race closely and worked on primaries in various states, both geographical and mental, I would venture to say there are things that should be kept to one’s self.
I will not be doing that for the rest of this post.
I am tired. I am tired in [...]

Is Hillary Clinton Done?

I originally was going to begin this piece by giving a quick recap of the Pennsylvania debate but I decided against it. There is enough to be found here Washington Post and here DailyKos,
My recap in terms of the lack of substance of the debate: a tale told by an idiot…signifying nothing. Thank you [...]

Worst. Debate. Ever.

- we don’t make a practice of reposting in verbatim other blogs and posts we read but I, severely tired of watching debates, tuned into the Hornets vs Mavs game on ESPN instead of watching the debates. I know, I am a bad American – at least for one night.
What follows is post on last [...]

Obama: Man of Steel

Not that endorsements really matter that much but this one is interesting. On Monday, Dan Rooney, the beloved owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, endorsed Obama for President:
“As a grandfather and a citizen of this community, I think Barack Obama’s thoughtful, strategic approach is important to America,” Rooney said. “When I hear how excited young people [...]

Dumb Little Democrats

There are grumblings among us, my donkey bretheren, that for those of you who support Hillary, if she is not selected as our Democratic Party’s nominee, you will either sit out come election day or vote for McCain. I have heard similar threats from the Obama camp. A recent Gallup poll indicates that 28% of [...]
