So the stimulus package has passed, as the sun rises on this beautiful Saturday morning. It wouldn’t have, without the help of Arlen Specter, Olympia Snow, and Susan Collins – courageous, centrist Republicans in a sea of dissembling, disingenuous, faux bipartisan doofusses mouthing old platitudes and marching in lockstep. Why? Putting politics first, it seems [...]
Yup, Auburn (“You can’t win if you can’t shoot“) lost to Georgia last night, leaving Andy Landers and Geno Auriemma both very happy. Meanwhile, Angie Bjorklund and the Lady Vols gave Pat Summitt her 999th win …
I get so depressed looking at Andy Landers sometimes. Just feels like I am being dragged (against my will, [...]
Here’s my feedback from last night’s debate:
First of all, pundits will say McCain had his “best” debate, and they’re right — all things being relative. He really did have some good moments, made some salient points, and sounded reasonable from time to time (despite my not agreeing with any of those points, while also being [...]
This is one of the creepiest things I’ve seen in awhile … at least since the last time I watched the Straight Talker for any length of time.
That one? Really? That soft, fake-friendly voice is downright threatening, don’t you think? It reminds me of someone. Dennis Hopper? Jack Nicholson in a scary movie … or [...]
Lots to write about today … and let me start with what’s been nagging at me ever since this whole Wall Street debacle became the latest national emergency. I keep thinking, “What if this really is an emergency? Bush certainly looked terrified last night in the clips I saw of his address to the nation. [...]
I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs this morning and in The Field Negro I came upon this … a “rumor” that I suspect is very true … and is certainly in keeping with the persona that Ms. Palin so happily projects.
“SO SAMBO BEAT THE BITCH”
Yes, that is what she is purported [...]
It certainly sounds like Hillary’s concession speech hit all the right notes. Here’s her speech in its entirety. Nice job, Hillary. It put me in mind of Al Gore’s concession speech in 2000 – although (thank goodness) Hillary’s is conceding to Obama, not Bush! Gore’s speech was one of the most uplifting I’ve ever heard [...]
I just found this article from Scotsman.com about the Beltane Fire Festival at Calton Hill, Edinburgh. Be sure to check out the video and the Fire Festival website.
As a political aside: This is the sort of event that our two Democratic Presidential hopefuls would probably feel compelled to denounce and repudiate … unless, of course, [...]
