I passed the old clunker again.
The first time was the day before the election. The 80s-vintage Buick compact was more primer than paint. The driver’s duds looked bargain basement, not Brooks Brothers.
Yet a “McCain-Palin” sticker clung resolutely to the rust bucket’s rear bumper.
The sticker is still there. Buick Guy wasn’t exactly dressed to the nines [...]

If you missed it, be sure to check out Frank Rich’s Sunday column at the NYT. It’s an excellent summation of the election that was. Here are a few key passages:
Our nation was still in the same ditch it had been the day before, but the atmosphere was giddy. We felt good not only because [...]

Gotten over your post-election 2008 hang-over, yet?
If you haven’t, there’s still plenty of news still coming out about what President-elect Obama hopes to do too keep some, if not most, of his campaign promises. There’s also still a lot of post-mortem discussion about the McCain-Palin campaign.
Today, President-elect Obama will be meeting with Lame-Duck President Bush. [...]

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, [...]

So, check this out. I did not accomplish much, yesterday, but I did post to the blog, so please cut me some slack if you see a few dust bunnies around. Some things are more important than muddy footprints, I tell ya. Heck, there must be some kind of medal or free happy meal for [...]

For robocalling on behalf of McCain-Palin:
Hi, this is Rudy Giuliani, and I’m calling for John McCain and the Republican National Committee because you need to know that Barack Obama opposes mandatory prison sentences for sex offenders, drug dealers, and murderers.
That’s right, kids, it’s 1988 all over again, and that foreign-looking liberal wants to let liberal [...]

Marc Ambiner, for the Atlantic Magazine writes, “Republicans, RNC donors and at least one RNC staff member have e-mailed me tonight to share their utter (and not-for-attribution) disgust at the expenditures.”
The McCain campaign had previously responded, ” It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign.”-McCain-Palin spokesperson Tracey [...]

On Monday, in Colorado, during an interview with NBC affiliate KUSA, Palin was asked a question submitted by a third grader: “What does the vice president do?”
In response, Palin said it was a question her daughter Piper, a second grader, would ask her. And then proceeded to get it wrong: “They’re in charge of the [...]

Flush from the rash of complimentary — if not to say gushing — reviews of Sarah Barracuda on Saturday Night Live, Wasilla’s Wonder Woman seemingly has made the decision to throw John McCain under the bus. Not that she’s alone in this assessment, if true.
Looking at it from her point of view, frankly, WHY does [...]
