It feels like Alaska here in NH this morning — and so my thoughts turn naturally to Sarah Palin. She is a busy gal, you betcha.
Everyone’s read, if they follow her at all, about how she is blaming the press for the public’s perceptions of her … and stepping up to protect her family from [...]
How refreshing to write a headline focused on the letter P and not have Sarah Palin come to mind (except as an after thought, just now — like a toothache remembered).
So these are heady, miraculous times. The Hudson River miracle jet has been fished out of the water and Obama is in DC and will [...]

Caroline Kennedy is beginning to articulate some of her positions, as noted in this article from the NY Times. While I like what I know of her, and am in agreement with her stated positions, I do find this run somewhat puzzling after a lifetime of pretty adamant privacy. She comes across as much more [...]
This time last week I was waking up at HollyCornblog’s and getting ready to drive east over Hogback to NH. This morning I am shivering at my window as a bright orange sun rises (but doesn’t yet share any warmth with this chilly planet). It’s Ethan Frome weather, for sure … gotta get me some [...]
Before I head out to the lake this morning, a fond review of some favorite spots to visit … just to see what’s up one more time. (You’d think I was going off for a month, wouldn’t ya? The way I go on and on and on …)
Oh, and before I forget, we watched a [...]
As a metaphor for the Republican right wing, that headline pretty much says it all. They sport a sensibility that’s moralistic as all get out – yeah. But it’s a very literal and childish morality. Black and white – no nuances or doubts allowed. Oh, and it’s based on “signs” from a god who is [...]

It’s day two of what continues to feel like a new era. Obama faces a plethora of daunting tasks, and we are on notice that for hope to burn bright, we need to roll up our sleeves and help. That’s the difference. Obama’s no white-haired GOP fake Father-Knows-Best, but a competent and inspiring leader who’s [...]
It was a good run, Red Sox … but now it’s up to the Phillies to take the devil out of those Rays, I guess. A rested Philadelphia team meets the Rays in Florida for game 1 on Wednesday night. Here’s hoping for either a good, exciting, long Series or (my personal favorite) a four [...]

No baseball to report on. No debate. I am forced to move to Plan B. (Don’t try this at home.)
What brought me to this? It began with my morning visit to Woot — a site that HollyCornblog turned me onto some years ago. I check it first thing and sometimes find really good deals. (Plus, [...]
It really wasn’t a contest at Dodger Stadium last night … and wasn’t one at Hofstra, either.
The Phillies clinched their sixth-ever World Series berth in just five games, with a 5-1 win over the Dodgers, behind good offensive production and the strong arm of NLCS MVP Cole Hamels! I’d love to see them face the [...]

It wasn’t looking good for Chase Utley and crew when yours truly hit the hay last night. But 40 year old Matt Stairs’ 2-run homer put the Phillies in the win column for the 3rd time in the NLCS – and on the brink of their first World Series since 1993.
Speaking of 1993 made me [...]
Yesterday was a wild one in the sports world, with lots of last-second heroics on the gridiron, and a lopsided loss for the Phillies.
On the political front, the NY Times published a profile of the inspiring individual who is apparently behind many of the spurious rumors that have circulated about Obama on the internet. Andy [...]
The Phillies pulled out a 3-2 win with a big sixth inning and so are up 1-0 over Manny and the Dodgers (a sixties Motown group that some of you may remember fondly — I certainly do). Cole Hamels looked a little shakier than I like him to, but he got the win, and I’m [...]
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 [...]
Hey, I’m writing from the Ramada Inn in Lewiston this morning. It’s a beautiful, cloudless morning in Maine … and we’ve got two soccer games on tap. Elvis and Johnny Cash are both entertaining here at the Ramada. Oh yeah – and there’s Wi-Fi here at the Ramada, too. Nice (and Go, Bobcats!).
So let’s [...]
