I haven’t had a good night of election returns in ten years. The last decade has been the fuel of my political cynicism. This is why I’ll be waiting two years for the other shoe to drop. I’ve heard a couple of smart people say that the Democrats didn’t win so much as the GOP lost. I agree, in part… the GOP may have done EVERYTHING wrong leading up to this election…
Much has happened in the world these last two days… and I’ve been oblivious to all of them. I’ve been a U.S. politics junkie for the last 36 hours. Much has happened in U.S. politics, but the most striking thing to me has been the Rumsfeld thumpin’.
It’s been called a well kept secret… suggesting that it’s been in the works for the last couple of weeks.
I always felt a little odd when I heard a celebrity plugging their favorite charity. Maybe I just have a hard time believing the sincerity of someone who looks like they’re dressing for a part in a in a Stanley Kubrick movie.
Now I hear that Mr. Sunglasses himself (when you’re cool the sun shines on you 24 hours a day) has engaged in a little good old fashioned hypocrisy. I’m…
There was a great article in the St Pete Times several months ago (11/1/2006).
The gist of the article was that a couple of right-wing-nuts from Hernando County went off on a Muslim group that wanted to have a party at a county park. It started with a Hernando County Commissioner’s wife writing a letter to the editor of the St Pete Times, the Times making a follow-up call for comment, and…
In some circles he’s been described as the conservative evil genius. In other circles he’s just evil. This is the political climate of the day… but I’m not here for name calling… well, maybe I’m not above a little name-calling by proxy.
The point of this morning’s verbal concoction is to analyze comments made by Karl Rove on NPR a couple days ago. My boy…
For a few weeks in 1990 there was a real-live boogey man in my life. He had a name, but at the time no one knew it. For a while everyone thought it was a mentally ill young man named Ed Humphrey, but a while later we learned his real name: Daniel Rolling.
I remember a partially deserted campus as school stared that fall. I remember ID checkpoints and off-campus housing security meetings. I…
I’m calm now.
I’ve yelled myself hoarse, and I’m home alone. (Must be football season.)
Now that the adrenaline has flushed from my system, I’ve encountered a few sobering thoughts…
Passing yards, rushing yards, offensive big plays, and time of possession – all went the Eagles way. The Eagles clearly outplayed the Bucs. The Bucs offense scored all of 6 points…
As much as I hate to say it, Auburn made a heck of an adjustment in the second half against Florida last night. The Gators ran pretty much at will in the first half, but the Auburn defensive line ate the Gators for a late evening snack in the second. There were few holes for the running game and Leak was under constant pressure. Even the wunderkind Tim Tebow couldn’t find room to run in the…
