I’m not a Democrat… but I play one on the Internet

I have been blogging about McCain and Obama a lot lately as well as posting items and making comments on Facebook about the upcoming election. I have been getting LOTS of grief from friends and even people I don’t know because I have been supportive of Obama/Biden and critical of McCain/Palin. I wanted [...]

August 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments
I watched all but the first 5 or 6 minutes of the Saddleback Civil Forum yesterday and much of the coverage afterwords. I must say, anyone who has been concerned about the media “love fest” for Sen. Obama should feel much better after listening to hosts from CNN, MSNBC and Fox News gushing over [...]

1) The next time Hillary Clinton accuses someone of being “mean-spirited” we need to force her to watch her speech from Tuesday night. Usually you have to be a member of a long-suffering minority to achieve that level of bitterness; to see it from an uptight, wealthy, white woman is a little off-putting.
2) I [...]
Sen. Edward Kennedy
May 21st, 2008 · 11 Comments
Here in the Strange Land, we want to send our hearts, thoughts and prayers to Sen. Kennedy and his friends and family. So many tragedies have hit the Kennedy clan over the years, yet they have stood up for the poor, the oppressed and the down-trodden with courage and honor.
