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 […]
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 […]
On Thursday, McCain communications director Jill Hazelbaker attacked Obama’s upcoming trip to the Middle East, saying “Let’s drop the pretense that this is a fact-finding trip and call it what it is: the first-of-its-kind campaign rally overseas”. McCain disagreed, saying that he was personally “glad” that Obama was making a trip to Iraq and Afganistan, adding […]
The Chinese are becoming security paranoid in advance of the start of the Beijing Olympics, which start in 8 short weeks. Here are some of the things they have done: Bars around the city are being prohibited from allowing dancing. Bars are also being prohibited from serving black people or Mongolians, because of fear of […]
© Matt Davies Just in case you don’t get this, it is a parody of a very famous New Yorker magazine cover from 1976.

As Electoral-Vote points out, for Republicans NY-13 is the congressional district that keeps on giving: First, Republican Congressman Vito Fossella tries to prove his love of family values by having two families. Fossella decides not to run for reelection. The Republicans pick Francis Powers to run for his seat, but his son (Francis Powers Junior) announces […]
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), their terrorist list is growing by an average of 20,000 names a month. The ACLU says that over a million people are already on this list. Let’s get real. Either we are creating a quarter of a million terrorists every year, or else our government has gone […]
