You aren’t supposed to cry about spilt milk, but how about spilt oil? McCain has been on the attack recently because Obama wants to keep the current limits on offshore oil drilling. So today, while Obama was giving a speech to a crowd of over 200,000 people in Berlin, McCain decided to pull his own photo […]
Even though she won’t meet Obama until Thursday morning, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in an interview “I would say that he is well-equipped — physically, mentally and politically.” In 2006, Merkel was famously given a quick backrub by President Bush, which was caught on camera. When asked if she expected more backrubs from the next […]
Columnist Robert Novak has been charged in an accident involving a pedestrian. Novak, who drives a black Corvette and is known as an “aggressive” driver, sped away from the scene. Novak claims he didn’t know he hit anyone, however, a witness says: “There was a pedestrian splayed on his windshield — I don’t think there […]
I nearly fell out of my chair. Did Chris Matthews really endorse Obama on Leno? And do it in a moving, and articulate way? For a bit of context, Matthews has long been a cheerleader for McCain, once starting an interview with McCain by saying “Senator McCain, you know you’re in my heart!”, and on several occasions asserting […]
It is ironic that, despite his age, McCain reminds me of a small child so desperate for attention that he will do anything to get it. On the night Obama secured the Democratic nomination, McCain tried to deflect attention away by giving a speech, which even Fox News thought was embarrassing, and CNN said was “awful” and […]
At a fundraiser last week President Bush admitted that his friends in big business “got drunk” on all “these fancy financial instruments”, and now have “a hangover”. Is Bush actually realizing that throwing money at large corporations might not have been the best thing for him to do for the last 7 years? By the […]
Conservative columnist Andrew Sullivan had to give up after trying to post a comment on McCain’s website: Even after I got an account, an ordeal in itself, clicking ‘Post a comment’ or ‘Reply’ made the ‘Take Action!’ page appear. Of course, the “Take Action!” page is the one that asks you for money. Even if he […]
Rumors are flying out of the John McCain camp that a surprising and seemingly counterintuitive choice for the vice presidential running mate is imminent. There may be a proposal afoot among Republicans to name Senator Larry Craig of Idaho as McCain’s running mate. The theory being that if, as expected in November, after eight years […]
In Propaganda 101, you learn a technique called “the Big Lie“. It was defined by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf as a lie so “colossal” that people believe it, because no one would suspect that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously”. You can probably guess where this is […]
Republicans just can’t get a break. In April, the Nevada Republican party held their state convention, but then abruptly shut it down when Ron Paul supporters were about to elect their own delegates to the national convention. The Republicans promised to reconvene a new state convention this month, but have now cancelled those plans, claiming […]
All eyes are on Obama this week while he tours Afganistan, Iraq, and Israel. Even the New York Times says that Obama’s trip carries considerable risk. But they aren’t worried about Obama’s safety — the media are all waiting for him to make a gaffe. You know, even a little one (like when he mentioned […]
Now that a cyber-security expert who is a Republican (and a former adviser to McCain) has come forward with evidence that Diebold (who since changed their name to Premier Election Solutions) used its electronic voting machines to throw the results of an election, will we finally get an actual investigation, and (hopefully) stop using their […]
