Is everyone excited!? Tomorrow, we as a people (well...a minority of people in Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Virginia, Missouri & Pennsylvania) get to choose the next leader of the free world!! If you haven't made up your mind by now, then don't bother, just pick the candidate you feel has the most attractive family:

Barrack Obama: a man who has battled ( Read more... )

Did anyone watch Rachel Madoow last night? She had a first in her career as a political correspondent: she used a sports analogy. By her own admission, she doesn't know sports very well, but that didn't stop her from comparing the presidential race to a football game, which she did so in exhausting fashion. It was cute watching her explain the game ( Read more... )

Along side the alarming number of depressing news stories about people getting murdered this weekend were a number of odd political stories. Here are the four strangest things I observed this weekend in the world of politics:

4. Sarah Palin Jinx's The St. Louis Blues:While campaigning in Missouri this weekend Sarah Palin was asked to drop the ( Read more... )

I don't always talk about politics. I was reminded recently about what a lost opportunity Evanescence had way back at the beginning of the century. Before they got lost in the gooey world of radio pop, Evanescence actually showed the potential to become an excellent progressive/power metal band.

They rarely fail to entertain me. When Rachel comes on MSNBC with her bright smile and starts talking her cutesy leftist propaganda, it just makes me want ( Read more... )

Okay, what in the world was Representative Michele Bachmann talking about when she suggested the media do an investigative piece on Anti-American officials in Congress? Is this really he best anti-Obama banter she can do? If she's sincerely concerned this is going on, she needs to come up with something better than this! Considering how many people ( Read more... )

I don't remember any time if my life when I've seen so many lawn signs in Central Illinois area that supported a Democratic candidate. It makes sense, though. Having announced his intentions to run for president in Springfield, Barrack Obama proved he was one of rare Chicago politicians that realizes there are other parts of Illinois. Our scumbag ( Read more... )

Why can't Keith Olbermann chill out for a minute or two? Whether you like John McCain or not, you have to admit his speech at the Alfred E. Smith Roast the other night was pretty funny. It looked like all the other democrats in the room could chuckle and even Rachel Maddow acknowledged his sense of humour. But Keith is just same angry old Keith who ( Read more... )

I don't hate the Cubs like I did when I was a kid, I just feel sorry for them now. I really did want to see them win at least one game or at least put up a fight against the opposing team, or at least show the slightest bit of interest or at leastswing at some strikes and not swing and some balls. I really do want to see them succeed once, so their ( Read more... )
