Who woulda thunk it?
Based on some of the polls released over the last week, I’m worried the McCain/Palin strategy of name calling and mudslinging (or is that a tactic?) is starting to gain a little traction with voters in swing states like Ohio. If you believe the robo-calls blanketing the country, Obama’s first action as president will be to firebomb a few red-state capitals around the…
Maybe that was true months ago, but tonight added the exclamation point.
I wasn’t really confident going into tonight. No Rays fan should have been. I spent four hours of my life repeating to myself: “it’s just a game… it’s just a game,” but if you put a finger on my wrist you wouldn’t need a stopwatch to know I was having trouble convincing myself.
Listening to Andrew Friedman…
I had no reply for two things said yesterday:
“I don’t know how to ride the bus.”
“I didn’t have any money and I didn’t know what else to do so I put a little Crazy Glue on my cap and stuck it back in my mouth.”
No, it wasn’t the same person.
One person was trying so hard to rationalize his loutish behavior he was reduced to spouting absurdities, the other was financially and…
Presidential debates scare me. They don’t scare me like a horror flick or clueless voters… or do they? A few small blood vessels burst (and I lose small clusters of brain cells) every time I hear an undecided voter say they don’t know enough about the candidates yet. Really? How hard do you have to work to stay ignorant during a two year presidential campaign? Have they heard of the…
More than a year ago my mother was committed to the state hospital, three hundred miles away. She hasn’t gotten any better. The last news I heard from the staff was they were going to try stopping all her meds and start over from scratch. The options are somewhat limited because the medication that worked (for a long time) just about destroyed her kidneys.
Before she was shipped off to the…
Conservatives are begging McCain to hit Obama with Rezko and Ayers at the next (and final) debate. I don’t know why. Ad money does a lot of talking – talking that can’t be immediately rebutted. The question is, in a room with both candidates present, would they be as giddy talking about Liddy?
From where I’m sitting, I think he’s better off running his attack ads and playing relatively…
I don’t know much about voting my mail in Canadian elections (what we would refer to in the states as voting by absentee ballot). If it applies to you, I’m sure you’d know better than I would.
if I’m not mistaken the big election is next week.
If you’re one of my local Canadian friends*, you’re eligible to vote, and it’s not too late to send in your ballot, take a look at this post…
Commenting on the report that Palin violated the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act in the “trooper-gate” scandal…
Digby’s blog:
I think the best way for the McCain campaign to spin this is to assert that, by being found guilty of abusing power and obstructing justice, Palin has now shown herself to be perfectly qualified for the office of Vice President as it has been conceived by Dick…
