I just had the misfortune to see my first presidential commercial of the season.  It was an Obama commercial, detailing the Grand Plan for Healthcare.
According to Mr. Obama, he would fix everything by allowing people to keep their employer-sponsored healthcare and force the insurers to pay for routine care and other things they don’t want [...]

You’re not going to believe me but I just heard this on the news.  The campaign headquarters of John McCain was ordered evacuated by the local sheriff.  This happened after one of the volunteers opened an envelope with white powder in it.  The powder has not been identified.

John McCain says he’s directing his staff to work with Barack Obama’s campaign to delay Friday’s presidential debate and deal with the Wall Street meltdown.
Deal with the meltdown? Does he really think we’re that stupid? Where was he before the meltdown? Can you say Keating Five? Look it up if [...]

What, you expected me to let this go by without comment?  There’s a blog/column named The Iconoclast by a Declan McCullagh, which warms the cockles of what passes for my heart.  The guy could post a very interesting expose of Santa, should he decide to.  Instead of Santa this time around, he did some background [...]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government’s budget deficit will surge past a half-trillion dollars next year, according to gloomy new estimates, a record flood of red ink that promises to force the winner of the presidential race to dramatically alter his economic agenda.

I still don’t understand how President Stupid managed [...]

Ben Bernanke, Condoleezza Rice, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton amongst a host of other global power brokers have all convened in Chantilly Virginia to secretly discuss the future of the world - yet not one mainstream U.S. corporate media outlet has uttered a single word about the 2008 Bilderberg conference.

Maybe we’re not going to hell after all.
Ok, I kid.
Maybe the descent has just slowed down a bit.
A friend worked the polls in a Philly suburb yesterday. Check this out:
* There was a 95% turnout rate!
* Ron Paul got 15% of the vote. He got 17% statewide.

What does this kind of turnout tell [...]

Now that we’re down to a very small (but no less evil) playing field, I figured I’d take a look at what exactly qualifies the remaining candidates to run for high office (besides possibly being high).   As best I can figure it, it goes like this:
[Hillary]
Vote for me because I have the experience.  I was [...]

I have no idea what it is, but I’ve heard two stories about Obama and the Secret Service in the last week.
The first story noted that the Secret Service pulled protection for one of his stops and wondered why. Usually when the SS boys and girls go awol, presidents get shot.
Today I saw on [...]
