Not rules, really. I just needed a snappy title. Human Events, the conservative online magazine, has an article on Five Ways for McCain to Beat Obama. The premise is that McCain should focus on these five points: National Security - Obama opposed Iraq war The Courts - Obama opposed the confirmation of Justices Samuel Alito and John Roberts Experience - Obama has only 8 years in the State Legisl...

Putting this on my reading list … The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism In THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America’s “free ma...

I’ve been trying to ignore the 2008 Presidential … sounds terrible, I know. Sorry but I can only care about so much at one time, and right now I’m stuck on the state budget & whatnot. (But Randy Colbry & Margaret McAvoy ought to know that their obscene & undeserved budget increases have not gone unnoticed … ) The 2008 stuff … ugh. We’ve got s...

Normally I wouldn’t post about something like Imus. It’s like posting about Bush or the war … it’s just too big for me. But in this case I’m making an exception because the situation with Imus symbolizes the worst of political theater. I’m not sure where this post is going to take me, but let me walk you through what I’m thinking … By now most of ...

Last night I checked the IMDB page on 300, and found some interesting conversations in the 300 forum. One that was particularly intriguing was “to sum it up.. 300 = propaganda“, in which the poster argued that 300 is a movie designed to get young people to buy into war against Iran. Some other entertaining threads … “Freedom isnt Free” and “Pound for pound, wh...

Ahh … the Republican Party’s language of love. Poor Ann Coulter. She’s upset now that you have to go into ‘rehab’ if you use the word ‘faggot’. A little rehab might do Coulter some good (or rehab, in general, some bad) … but gosh, in this case, I share her anger. A person shouldn’t have to go into rehab if she wants to call someone a faggot....

I’ll admit, I had a little laugh at this one: India Sees Cultural Backlash Against Outsourcing The outsourcing of tech and business work to India by U.S. multinationals has added billions to India’s national income, but some in the country are now suggesting that this apparent windfall carries too high a price. Of late, some editorialists and social commentators in India are warning t...

Camp Tries To Silence Voices In The House, on Duplicitous Dave / Rubber Stamp Camp. ...

Senators Levin and McCain mix it up on Bush’s Iraq “strategy.” I can’t help but feel sorry for McCain when it comes to Iraq. He used to have so much credibility on matters of national security, because he was a moderate, ex POW, sensible kinda guy. Even when he was the only one calling for an escalation in Iraq, I thought ‘there must be something to it …’...

Recent News Does Not Bode Well For Camp, on Duplicitous Dave / Rubber Stamp Camp. ...

I don’t usually get into polls this far out from an election, but I find this Newsweek poll intriguing. To sum things up – Bush’s overall approval rating: 30% (this number becomes important later) People who “wish the Bush presidency were simply over”: Democrats - 86% Independents - 59% Republicans - 21% 49% of all registered voters would rather see a Democrat elect...

To be honest, I’m not terribly excited about Obama. I think it’s ridiculous that our next President might be some guy who is still in his first term as Senator. He gives a good speech, but I don’t see him getting much done if he wins. He does seems to be a uniter … the real kind, not the “I’m a uniter, heh heh” Bush kind … but the division in Amer...

What won’t they do???? ...

Yep it’s true; Bush was named worst villain (2006) by 25% of the respondents in this lame-o poll. 13% also named him the year’s biggest hero. (Also in the categories of villain and hero, Satan takes 1%, the troops 6%, respectively) I hopped over to the Det News to post on it, when I noticed that once again, Libby beat me to the story. Bummer … I had a sweet title for the post....
