Posted by on Sunday, October 26, 2008 in - 6 comments
What does the world need now more than anything else? Al Franken in a position of moderate authority. And it just might happen: • For months, Mr. Coleman had been leading his Democratic opponent, the entertainer Al Franken, 57, whose campaign seemed doomed earlier this year. But an abrupt change …
Obama, Where Art Thou?

I have to say, I have really been having a hard time understanding where Mr Obama stands on...you know...things. This news today makes it even more puzzling: • Sounding presidential, Senator Barack Obama said Wednesday he would order a surge of U.S. troops – perhaps 15,000 or more – to …

Now? I hope the vote plays out like this: • CPC - 124Grits - 103Bloq - 51NDP - 29Other - 1 • You get my point, right? Dullsville. Could there be a duller election? How could that be? Hmmm...maybe all parties could declare we are getting out of Afghanistan, no change to health care, announce …

I was flipping channels last night and caught Andrew Coyne on TVO's news show The Agenda as part of a panel. He was lamenting the actual record of Stephen Harper as a conservative and listed a few items like the ignoring his own fixed election law and keeping an unelected Senator in the …
Friday Bullets For You And You And You And You...

...and especially for you, little Jimmy. • We stayed up again for a speech. I like speeches so I am something of a sucker but I thought there was just the right measure of menace and warning to the Republican party that my expectation that he would govern as an unfettered independent remains in …
The Somewhat Surprising Mrs. Palin
Posted by on Thursday, September 4, 2008 in - 20 comments
I have admitted I have a slight crush but am more amazed by the strength of anger focused on Mrs. Palin from some Democrats and also perhaps the degree of adoration by certain Republicans. There is a very good article in The New York Times - that bastion of leftiest lies - entitled "The Unusual …

No! Nay! No Nay Never!!! Why should she? Just because she has a normally whacked life is that any excuse for this sort of reporting by Ibbitson today? • "We have not scheduled Wednesday and Thursday," Mr. Mendelsohn told reporters. "So I couldn't tell you what is confirmed and what is not …
How Does Gustav Affect The Race?
Posted by on Sunday, August 31, 2008 in - 2 comments
I know this is grim especially if this is Katrina II, but is it possible that the response to Gustav that may hit New Orleans this week could be a defining moment in the Presidential election? Apparently George Bush has canceled his trip to the Republican convention. At what point does the …

The ISH's mainly working - though still a bit choppy - but we haven't called off the competition's service visit for next week. I understand that change is what we may need. When I asked myself whether we could have high speed that didn't cut out, I thought "yes, we can." It's about hope for the …
Friday Bullets For The Week Your Life Changed Forever!
Posted by on Friday, August 8, 2008 in - 8 comments
OK, it didn't change. It's pretty much the same as last week - but it is really like that week twenty-seven weeks back if you think about it. It's kinda eerie when you think about it like that. Or mid-May 2005. It's like that, too. Weird: • Georgian military update: Castle Aaarrgh knows all.Best …
