Palin Ducks Questions on Health Care

During the vice presidential debate it became clear that Sarah Palin had not boned up too much on health care as she ducked and dodged Gwen Ifill’s questions on the subject.  Biden ended the talk on health care with the zinger of the night.  The CNN transcript speaks for itself with my editorializing italicized.  Joe Biden [...]

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: 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 [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Wednesday, September 10

Whoops!  Got a little chatty with the ol’ ball n’ chain the ol’ man SSG Dizzy, today, then got caught up in a lot of necessary real life stuff.  Who knew growing a rock could be so much work (true story)?  Except for that time of month, “better late than never”, I always say.

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.

Palin Capitalizes on Family in the Spotlight

And, I thought Rudy Guiliani was nauseating tonight… Sarah Palin stood at the podium, exploited her family including her pregnant teenage daughter and her “intended” and blew the “Republican message about the Palin offspring” being off limits into a farce.
Unbelievable. But not… That is what these people live for and the wingnuts in the crowd [...]

An Open Mic Moment with the Conservative Punditry

Via Politico:
After a segment with NBC’s Chuck Todd ended today, Republican consultant Mike Murphy and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan were caught on a live mike ridiculing the choice of Sarah Palin.
Watch here:
Those talking heads and guests will never learn… As Politico notes, “Noonan’s blunt call contrasted with her conflicted column today saying Palin [...]

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 [...]

Let’s jump right in, to today’s Ten Post Round-Up, why don’t we? The last few days have shed [...]

John Kerry was on This Week with George Stephanopoulos today talking about McCain picking Sarah Palin as his VP. Kerry responded to a question from Stephanopoulos about whether he thought the Palin pick would help McCain garner support from women who supported Clinton. As always, Kerry was on the money… calling the pick “insulting to [...]
