Could tonight be the night Obama announces his choice for VP? I can’t imagine someone more awesome. Well… no, I can’t. That said, I can’t imagine Gore taking it, but if he was humble enough, I think the country would be better off. He’s got clout, people know him, he’s got experience, he’s a white […]

Some things that I think are awesome tonight: So Long and Thanks For All the Shoes, by NOFX.  This albums really is great.  I kinda wish it were their last.  I recently looked for reviews of it when it first came out more than a decade ago, and most people didn’t like it.  I loved […]

So yesterday I had a conversation with my sister about some of the problems with the Bush Administration, and she felt that the two biggest problems were Bush’s inexperience and his inability to question his decisions/learn from his mistakes. I shouldn’t put words into her blog, so to speak, so maybe she’ll speak up about […]

Does anyone remember a few years ago, Sprite was using the slogan “Image is nothing, thirst is everything.” I do. The funny thing is, I think they also unveiled their new logo. So that was funny. I was thinking about image and the political campaigns. A few days ago, I posted the list of O’Jokes, […]

So I was watching some local news, and they had a brief interview with a guy whose normal family was thrust into city-wide attention for some reason. Hew was being interviewed and was asked how his family was dealing with the situation. He replied: “We’re doing good, we’re not used to all this attention. We […]

So there’s been a lot of talk about Jim Web joining with Obama as his VP. As they always are, Webb is being coy about whether he’s interested and dodges the question as best he can, and that’s fine. But as I think about who Obama is and what gaps he may have, it really […]

Can we finally say who the Democratic nominee for President will be? YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! …Yes. We can. (Ever notice that Clinton supporters chant “Yes She Will!” at their rallies? Not only will she not, but that’s creepy.) So nearly a tie in Indiana and a pretty good sized win in North […]

Dick Morris @ Fox News asks: Does Hillary want to beat up Obama so that he can’t win the general election in November, assuring McCain of the presidency so that she can have a clear field to run again in 2012? I’d say yes.  I said yes.  Morris points out how neither Clinton helped Kerry […]

With the primary lull, it’s been hard tog et stoked about anything on the Presidential front, but I’ve been getting more and more frustrated with Clinton.  It’s been obvious (to me) for a long time that she’s been staying in the race just to hurt Obama, with the hope that she’ll help make him lose […]

First non-house blog post in awhile.  That’s exciting.  Sorta… 2008 has so far not been a great year for my book reading habit.  It started off strong with a handful of really great reads: The Savage Detectives, by Roberto Bolaño, kicked off the year.  It was great, as most things recommended to me by this […]
