Never give up, never surrender

The age of computerized online ad placement has resulted in some odd juxtapositions, like this article in Political Wire announcing that Gordon Smith has lost the Senate race in Oregon, accompanied by an ad asking you to vote for Smith. One also has to wonder why someone is running a “get out the vote” ad […]

Palin doesn’t know Africa is a continent

Social conservatives seem to want Palin to lead the Republican Party and run for president in 2012. Part of me would really like to see that happen (hee hee), while part of me really wants to never hear from or about her again. UPDATE: This story gets even more complicated.

What, do you need another year to figure this out? Gee, I wonder where my candidate stands on UFO abductions? I’m going […]

If this election had been held two years ago

Exactly two years ago, the polling firm SurveyUSA interviewed 30,000 voters spread evenly by state, asking them how they would vote in a 2008 Presidential Election between John McCain and Barack Obama.

Palin’s own Troopergate investigation clears her

In a result that will surprise nobody, the Alaska State Personnel Board’s Troopergate report has been released, and it clears Palin of any wrongdoing. The three members of the Personnel Board are appointed by Palin. In fact, Palin initiated this investigation by filing an ethics complaint against herself. These results directly contradict the findings from […]

Pigs sprout wings

Karl Rove is predicting that Obama will win the election, with a 338 to 200 electoral vote victory. Of course, people still wearing their tinfoil hats will probably say that this is a cynical ploy to get voters to stay home, to benefit down-ticket Republicans. Prove them wrong. Go vote.
