Tactic: Dress a small band of Alaskan National Guard troops in Russian military attire and stage an invasion of the Alaskan border, sending the rest of Alaskan National Guard troops, on Palin’s orders, to successfully capture or kill the “Russian invaders.”
Strategy: Ends questions about Palin’s national security credentials.
by JS O’Brien Republican Representative Candice Miller of Michigan has a truly marvelous idea for getting the economy back on track: lie through your teeth. I suppose this shouldn’t be surprising, since it seems to be the first option for Republican politicians everywhere. So, let me explain what she wants to do. Currently, accounting rules […]
An interesting man said an interesting thing the other day. Unfair, you say? Voters shouldn’t judge a candidate by his skin color. Maybe, but is it any more unfair than, for example, saying that because McCain and President Bush are both Republicans that a McCain administration would produce a third Bush term? No, it isn’t. […]
In an Ohio campaign rally today, John McCain defended his decision to “suspend” his campaign last week and fly to Washington to help broker the financial bail-out deal. “I know that many of you have noticed,” McCain told the crowd, “but it’s not my style to simply ‘phone it in.’” But what did McCain do […]
“This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country.” That’s John McCain’s take on why the House failed to pass a bipartisan Wall Street bailout bill today, according to Douglas Holtz-Eakin, McCain’s economic adviser. The McCain camp cites Nancy Pelosi’s “strongly worded partisan speech” that “poisoned the vote” as the […]
by JS O’Brien I am in my 50s. In my lifetime, I have seen partisan politics become increasingly bitter, increasingly childish, and increasingly focused on personal, political wins at America’s expense. When the chairman of the Federal Reserve and Warren Buffet tell me that the American financial system needs an influx of capital in order […]
The Global Carbon Project (GPC) released its Climate Trends 2007 update, and there’s some sobering news within the latest update: The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere was 383 parts per million (ppm) in 2007, 37% over pre-industrial revolution concentrations (280 ppm), higher than any concentration over the last 650,000 years, and “probably” […]
by Djerrid Hours before the debate has even started, a new ad from the McCain campaign has been spotted (no joke, check the links):
By Greg Stene We may be witnessing the absurdly quick end to the Millennial Generation. This coming Monday, September 29th may take care of it all. For years: we had the advertising world getting a handle on the Millennials at a huge cost and professional upheaval of all it once held true we had the […]
by JS O’Brien Yesterday, Senator John McCain announced that he was suspending his campaign to return to Washington to provide leadership in the effort to save the American economy from what George W. Bush says will be a “long and painful recession.” By yesterday afternoon, Senate leadership had announced that they were very close to […]
by JS O’Brien Political polls give us joy or despair. Rabid sports fans understand this. They often subject themselves to emotional roller coaster rides, watching games where the score is too close even for desperate toilet breaks. For those of us following this year’s presidential election closely, each morning can bring good or bad news […]
If you have a pulse and an IQ of at least 70, you probably realize that our mainstream press sucks. The silly bitches at the networks (and way too many newspapers, as well) fall all over themselves address the pig/lipstick story. They treat the price of John Edwards’ latest haircut like they would news that […]
