Ten Post Round-Up: Aargh! Edition

I totally slipped up not posting, yesterday.  I had to get a new phone and my dealer hooked me up with the lastest form of crack, also known as the Blackberry (Curve, flavored).  I just want to thank John McCain
for making that possible.
I started researchin’ for today’s Ten Post Round-Up and I had this whole [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Short and Sweet

Today is my oldest son’s 19th birthday and I rolled in just past my bedtime after attending a concert in a neighboring city, last night.  Although, I’m a tad wound up, I am still a bit tired, so I’m keeping today’s Ten Post Round-Up short and sweet.  The goal, today, is to describe each link [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Embracing The Pig AND The Lipstick

Is it just me, or does it seem like we live in an upside-down world?  A few months ago, Republicans were falling all over themselves declaring that there was no sexism going on in their denouncements of Hillary Clinton.  But, now, when somebody says, Sarah Palin is not qualified to be vice-president (because she’s about [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Bad News Ahead

Last week, I did my level best to stay out of the political fray, but to no avail.  So, I officially give up.  And, since our politicians aren’t giving up, I guess I might as well just dive in and go for the gold.
Today’s Ten Post Round-Up is designed to show you just how bad [...]

Lies, Lies, Lies

There’s still more discussion today on the “lipstick on a pig” kerfluffle and how the “controversy is ginned up, a fraud, a lie.” Michael Kinsley points out on the WaPo that continuing to discuss it is “falling into the trap that McCain’s people have set and perpetuating this ridiculous controversy,” but he says:
[...] the routine [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Policy of Truth

There’s a lot of vim and vinegar being slung around the internets, today.  It’s like there’s a hot political race going on…wait…my bad!
Part of the reason for all the fire and brimstone, methinks, is due to the lack of truthiness from some quarters (I won’t say where.  I will say it starts with a letter [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Superwoman Edition

By the time you read this post you will either have recovered from the Palin Speech Drinking Game or had enough Pepto to settle your tummy.  Of course, if you are like me, you probably opted for a refreshing rerun of CSI.
For those of you who prefer your Republican/Conservative news in bite-size portions, today’s Ten [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: We Won’t Get Shafted, Again

You’ve got to give McCain credit.  By welcoming Palin into his campaign, he sure livened things up quite a bit in this election (and no, I’m not referring to you-know-what, unless you know what is a bridge or something).
Truth be told, I don’t blame him for his (apparently) monumental screw-up.  There was not much more [...]

Our Minds’ Distorted Eye

There’s been a lot in the news about how (supposedly) important, looks are.
In China, during the Olympics opening ceremony, one little Chinese girl’s face/body was replaced by a “prettier” little girl, who lip-synced to the “uglier” child’s song.

13 Principles of Leadership

These were written by Colin Powell. Before you go off the deep end, remember he got royally hosed by Bush, too. He stuck it out because, according to Bob Woodward’s book, he was afraid of what actions might be taken if he wasn’t at Bush’s side with his foot on the brake.
He’s well thought of [...]

Quote Of The Day

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” — Anaïs Nin
I’ve certainly experienced this reality. My relationship with The Democratic Daily is a good example. It has enriched my life.
