Some folks are speculating McCain’s team made a bit of a mistake prepping for his big speech the other night. It goes something like this… they were asked to get a picture of Walter Reed Medical Center for a backdrop to the speech, but instead they put up a picture of Walter Reed Middle School in California.
Suddenly I find myself in a great mood. I can’t wait to hear if this is…
I’m one of the folks the GOP can’t convince with a convention, so it shouldn’t be much of a surprise to learn I can’t watch. It took all of thirty seconds watching a grinning Mit before I was throwing myself at the television in search of a power cable. It wasn’t a sure thing what I was going to do with it once I got it either. I did watch parts of Palin’s…

Here’s another neglected post – this one from June. Did you know I could stop writing for months and still have fresh material (sans editing) ready to go?
Here’s my formula (re: the post’s title):
1. I get a little angry.
2. I make it personal.
3. I act like a jerk.
I don’t know why it irritates me when people complain about the price of gasoline. It’s a…
Some polls indicate more americans favor lifting Federal restrictions on offshore oil drilling.* A site I visit frequently explains why you shouldn’t drink the Kool-aid: you’re being fed a load of crap.
Climate Progress:
The oil companies already have access to some 34 billion barrels of offshore oil they haven’t even developed yet, but ending the federal moratorium on offshore…
