Clearly my spur-of-the-moment decision to expand the tons-o’-fun “My Friends” drinking game to also get to chug some wine every time McCain said “General Petraeus” as the debate entered the foreign policy phase was not as terrific an idea as it seemed to be. I fell down the stairs on my way to my […]

Well, I just watched the debates myself. Via YouTube. The easiest YouTube to find was via Fox News’s feed, which was annoying because they so often did closeups or split-screens of the candidates and never did wider shots– so I couldn’t judge for myself if it was true, that McCain was supposedly never able to […]

Best part of the whole debate:
When Jim Lehrer asked the candidates, “Much has been said about the lessons of Vietnam. What do you see as the lessons of Iraq?” McCain babbled about how awesomely we began there, how (for causes not even remotely articulated) we had a wee bit of a strategic stumble […]

He did, he did!
McCain Health-Care Article Fuels New Clash Over Economy
The article, which appeared under McCain’s name, was published in Contingencies magazine, which is produced under the auspices of the American Association of Actuaries. In it, McCain touted his plans for increasing competition in health care as one way to expand coverage and reduce costs.

A Real, Live Conversation.
Boyfriend (busily scanning the news on his laptop): Hey, did you hear what happened today?
Me: Well, I know McCain was supposed to announce his running mate.
Boyfriend: Yeah, he did. (dramatic pause) It’s Palin.
Me: Who?
Boyfriend: The governor of Alaska. (slighly less dramatic pause) Do you know anything about her?
Me: I think […]

An evolution in my opinions.

Previously I had written here that, looking at the long-term picture, I didn’t know who would be worse for the world at large, McCain or Obama. My argument began in a familiar place: the Republican and Democratic parties, in their modern forms, are really just two wings of one party. They […]

Not satisfied with claiming that Obama is communist, Muslim, gay (or at least meterosexual), and has black children, the McCain campaign is now claiming that he’s the fucking Antichrist.

I don’t even know where to begin. For one thing, it’s a completely incoherent ad, though it gets points for invoking Charlton Heston. But beyond that, its […]

So in case you haven’t heard already, a couple of weeks ago Rum, Romanism and Rebellion unearthed this joke that McCain told at a meeting of the National League of Cities and Towns in 1986:
Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly […]

If you are not familiar with craps, it is a game played with dice, and the important thing to know about it is that you cannot win at it unless you figure out some way to control how you throw the dice…ie, you cheat. You CANNOT win by playing by the rules. It […]

Same reason I do.

Vote Obama ‘08!

They’re coming for your ass. And they brought a red.

As we draw nearer to the general election, I expect we’ll see more of our media members and family members come *back* around to defending our occupation of Iraq. Why? Because they’ll seek to rationalize their irrational support of John McCain, the national […]

Un-be-fucking-lieeeeeeevable. I’m really sorry it’s all gloom and doom from me when I find the time to post these days, but I am fed up with the defeatist language of the Democrats. It alternately depresses me to the point of inaction and sends me into a frothing tizzy accompanied by incoherent thoughts.
Allow me […]
