President Bush, as has every president since his father began the practice in 1989, annually pardons a Thanksgiving turkey.
Amid hundreds of spectators, most of them members of the media, the president makes a few cute comments, issues a pardon for the turkey and a “runner-up” (in case the Main Bird [...]

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich “is batting down the hype that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin heads into 2012 as the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination,” according to The Hill.
In an interview on Face the Nation, Gingrich “took Palin down a notch, asserting that she would not become the party’s leader, as some [...]

During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama was called mentally unstable; his supporters were called unpatriotic. At Sarah Palin rallies, in newspaper letters-to-the-editor, on conservative radio and TV talk shows, supporters spewed hatreds, resorting to the Bush tactics of fear mongering to support their own candidate.
At many rallies, the word “kill” was often [...]

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 [...]

For the benefit of that majority of folk who find themselves embroiled in debates as to the absurdity of the mantic arts, let me offer this explanation, and then the fun.
All mantic arts, i.e. those disciplines that carry “mancy” at the end of their names — cartomancy (tarot cards), oneiromancy (dream interpretation), necromancy (seances, communication [...]

On David Gregorie’s MSNBC news show, now renamed 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, hosted by a substitute anchor, Lawrence O’Donell and good ‘ol Pat B got into it pretty big time. O’Donell, finally fed up told Pat that his party celebrated ignorance. Finally O’Donell asked Pat if he believes in evolution. You absolutely must watch this video [...]

Weirdness in Alaska.
We have this odd situation where Ted Stevens, who was polled 22 points down to his challenger after his conviction on seven felony counts of bribery and corruption, is, oddly, winning an Alaskan election where voter turnout is LOWER than it was in 2004.

It is amazing she wouldn’t say she voted for her own Presidential candidate. I wonder if this isn’t an example of the problems within the McCain-Palin campaign. [UPDATE: It may be possible that Palin was answering a question about her vote on convicted Senator Ted Stevens when she said she 'would invoke her right to [...]

Sarah Palin has received much deserved criticism on everything from her position of issues, to her lavish wardrobe, to her lack of regular reading, but on election day I thought I would give her a single point of praise.

SNL - Smooching Butt To Power

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 [...]
