I began this blog entry a month ago, but old sports superstition, you don’t queer the championship game with premature celebrations or speculations. (e.g. don’t plan the victory parade until AFTER the you’ve won the victory. cf. Dewey v. Truman, 1948).

I woke up this morning with a thought I hadn’t thought before.
By all [...]

According to HuffPo’s James Boyce, Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss, as despicable as ever, “has requested that he actually be excused from the December 2nd runoff against Jim Martin and just be declared the winner.”
It’s the bum knee, you see, the one that got him out of Vietnam.
Chambliss slimed Vietnam vet Max Cleland in ‘02, and [...]

Joe the Plumber: welfare queen (and one of the stupidest people in America).
Awesome.
(He was also an IotD here. Everytime he opens his mouth he’s an IotD. He needs to fade into obscurity again. Now.)

Well, the good news is, the presidential election is finally over. Obama/Biden clinched it and McCain/Palin are slinking off into the sunset, but not without leaving a trail of “shoulda-coulda-woulda” in their wake. We are very, very lucky that Bible Spice did not get anywhere near the Oval office in any kind of “official” capacity, [...]

It’s election night and after a long break from blogging I decided it was good night to sit down and do some live-blogging. The polls just closed here and CNN is projecting that Obama has taken Maine. I’m happy to say I was able to be a part of the victory for Obama here in [...]

There is a great American Zen koan displayed on our roads. The question is clearly displayed: Y?
Why? For those that wonder, the answer can usually be found on the mountain tops (at the passes, appropriately enough): Y?

The latest chant at Palin rallies is this: “Vote McCain, not Hussein!” or “John McCain! Not Hussein!” As NYT’s The Caucus is reporting, the former made an appearance at a rally earlier this week in Pennsylvania, the latter at one this morning in Florida:
After the rally in Florida ended, two of the people leading the [...]

First, one about Obama’s central message.
Next, one about McCain’s record and message.
6 days and counting until we have the results.

I can’t possibly keep up with all the weaselly smears that the GOPpers are throwing out this week. I’m certain they run the gamut from “Obama is a Space Alien!” to “The Democrats will confiscate your children AND your money.” (And its corollary: “The Liberals want to have sex with your dog!” Don’t laugh, [...]

So you know that ugly, Fox/Drudge-whipped up story of the young female McCain volunteer who was allegedly mugged and mutilated (with a ‘B’ cut into her face) by a black man at a Pittsburgh-area ATM?
Well — surprise, surprise — it was all a hoax. As I’m sure you’ve all heard by now.
The woman, Ashley Todd, [...]

From Josh Marshall:
If you’re thinking to yourself that there’s little more than two weeks before election day and Obama has a solid lead in the polls, don’t be so sure.
Yes, it looks good for the Democrats. But you need to play close attention to the McCain campaign’s final weeks’ strategy under and just above the [...]

Kathleen Parker, a conservative columnist, shocked most in her party when she took Palin to task in her column September 26.
I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe [...]
