Or, maybe I should say..scary? Makes me even happier that HRC did not win the Dem nomination because throwing the Clintons in the mix again would *really* make this country look like we are in a rut with the political dynasties! The last US Presidential election the GOP won without a Nixon or a Bush... Continue Reading →
Obama’s Grandma!
Readers from earlier this year might recall how I had a spike in hits on my site after posting a picture of Barack Obama's african grandmother on Big Tuesday primary day. It still stands as the most viewed post and gets hits every day. Naturally, with the news of his grandmother in Hawaii being ill... Continue Reading →
Why I love this country
Sometimes in the deep doo doo of an election year, we can forget how amazing it is that in the end, we will put the nonsense behind us and watch a stunningly peaceful change over of power from one president to another on inauguration day. And we will, because we are Americans. The other thing... Continue Reading →

A letter to Joe The Plumber.
Go Team!
As this election season enters it's final 30 days when things will get uglier - as oh so nicely announced by the campaigns! - I am feeling the need to pull back my view lest I get too caught up in the polarization of it all. The Us vs Them thing. You see, there are... Continue Reading →

Not that I wont be drinking - I've got Sam Adams Oktoberfest chilled and bloody mary mix in case it gets really bad - but since it's a work night I think this is a very fine/fun alternative...or what the heck..drink...

Best political discussion in a long time

Her husband is a Republican and she is a Democrat and is looking for assistance in communicating with him without too much emotion. Boy do I admire mixed marriages! I am sure that election years like this one are a real challenge.... Continue Reading →
This Week In Politics – Suspended?
I know, I said I wasn't going to do appointment blog topics. But then, I found out that when you declare that you will stop doing something, like oh...campaigning for instance...if you declare that you are suspending something..you don't *really* have to DO it!! In fact, all you really have to do is just not... Continue Reading →
Pa-the-tic
Oh boy - I have to be straight up and point out that the recent week on FactCheck shows the Obama campaign floating some pretty decent whoppers and spin jobs of it's own in their ads. Argh! Prior to that, it had been almost a 75/25 split with McCain spinning the biggest whoppers in his... Continue Reading →
Political polls
*Note* - For those who noticed, yes, I am stopping my weekly 'appointment' posts. They were starting to irritate me 🙂 I hate writing by assignment and for that reason I probably wont participate in NaBloPoMo or anything like it again. Writing does not come naturally to me, but I like and want it to... Continue Reading →
