It seems as if everybody is coming down from their collective presidential election hang-over. President-elect Barack Obama has already begun picking the people who will be in his administration (much to the chagrin of many Progressives). President Bush is continuing his lame-duck administration, unfortunately, that doesn’t include another lengthy vacation on the Crawford ranch.
Right now, [...]

This is a great video. An elementary school in Palm Beach, Florida has their own TV news channel, The KEC News Report. They recruit their own grade school reporters, camera people, etc. They really do report the news. The news this day was the speech by Joe Biden at a campaign event.

It’s a little more than a week before the presidential election, and I’m worried about what happens afterwards. I’m not worried about the candidates, the people, or the country. I’m worried about the media.

Rednecks for Obama are back in the news again today. I wrote about them back in late August. Here’s the latest:
Tony Viessman, 74, and Les Spencer, 60, got politically active last year when it occurred to them there must be other lower income, rural, beer-drinking, gun-loving, NASCAR race enthusiasts fed up with business as usual [...]

I fell behind on my reading last week due to my site’s move and the mild coma I lapsed into thanks to the Republican National Convention.
