Is That Kid Hers or What?

Sunday was supposed to be my day of rest…
So I had no plans to post anything whatsoever with regards to Sarah Palin.
No really, I’m serious.
All I wanted to do, after running a few errands, was hop online and check out what’s up in the news and in the blogosphere.
Suddenly my plan to avoid writing all things [...]

Diddy, We Have A Problem

Ok, it’s official.
We are facing an oil crisis.
No, no, it’s not the fact that we are on the eve of Katrina 2 (err… Gustav) making landfall in the Gulf…
Nor is it the fact that the cost of gas has been so high lately that I’ve considered buying a horse and buggy to get from one place to [...]

How To Spell Palin: P-U-M-A

Some people want to know why I came out of the box so quickly yesterday in protest of McCain’s VP pick, Sarah Palin.
I’ve been told by a person or two that I was perhaps a bit tough on the old gal.
I disagree… I honestly don’t think I was hard enough on her… and certainly not on John [...]

John McCain, Beauty Queens and Aliens from Outer Space

When John McCain announced his choice for VP I immediately began to hyperventilate… I cannot wait to see how this plays out in both the media and in households across the nation.
Sarah Palin for VP…
Really?
This is the woman McCain is hoping will steal all those Clinton supporters?
A pro-life ex-beauty queen whose only political know-how comes from being [...]

Only In America…

Boy am I excited.
The Democratic National Convention really has me goin’.
I was at my desk today, about to get off work, and my supervisor says, “You’re glowing! Got a hot date?”
I gleefully told her that I’m just excited about getting home and tuning in to watch Obama speak tonight.
No really- it’s true.
I have loved every [...]

Hillary Clinton, Marine Corps T-Shirts and The DNC

Today Hillary Clinton chose to behave as a good sport should, and has moved to stop the roll call vote at the Convention, allowing Obama to officially accept the nomination by acclamation.
She has (finally) bowed out gracefully, and exited the stage so that Barack Obama can make history today as our Presidential nominee… and even bigger history in [...]

The Audacity of Hood

Michelle Obama gave a helluva speech at the Democratic National Convention last night.
It was passionate, it was heartfelt, and it was honest.
More than anything I was struck by the love this woman has for her husband… it feels real, and that’s refreshing after having to observe the marriage-of-convenience types like Bill and Hillary, as well as Cindy and [...]

DNC, Hillary Clinton and Lame-A$$ Supporters

The Democratic National Convention is here.
I’m excited. Seriously.
If I could have taken the week off work to go to Denver- or hell, to sit at home on my couch eating bon-bons watching this shit unfold- I would have.
Unfortunately, I’m out of vacation time, so I, like the rest of you have to watch it on cable tv… [...]

Biden and Obama… Yin and Yang

I’m delighted with the decision to have Joe Biden as Barack Obama’s VP guy.
Initially I was scratchin’ my head, a bit confused…
Some of you may know Biden as the senator from Delaware who once stated, “…You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”
Ruh Roh.
He’s also the guy who said [...]

Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones Will Be Missed

Rest In Peace Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones.
You will be missed.
For those who aren’t aware, Rep. Tubbs Jones was the first African American woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Ohio…
Representing Cleveland.
She passed away on her own turf, in Cleveland Heights, OH, suffering a sudden and tragic aneurysm.
This wonderful woman’s presence was palpable… and she made [...]
