I was reading through some suggested articles online today when I came across this gem in a piece on Politico,
It’s very Fargo,” said former McCain campaign strategist Mark McKinnon. “Ton of personality.”
This was said in reference to Sarah Palin’s unique, goofy accent. I, for one, take offense.
Mr. McKinnon, I lived in Fargo and I don’t [...]

The other morning (or mid-afternoon, bloggers don’t usually wake up before noon) I contacted Erik about putting out a joint statement pertaining to the possible suspension of our blogging duties so that we could both head to Washington to help Congress draft the legislation that is needed to bail out our economy. We left it [...]

Watch this excerpt from a interview that Sarah Palin did with Katie Couric today and tell me that she’s even qualified to teach kindergardeners how to take a nap. I fucking dare you.
The entire interview is probably available at CBS.com, but I found it here.
Again, it’s not I’m trying to be partisan and throw mud [...]

Honestly, he does. You see it. I know you do. Of course, if I remember my Aesop’s Fables at all, this means that Obama must be the rabbit. I certainly hope that it doesn’t follow that “slow and steady wins the race.” Actually, following the presidential campaign as I have these past few years, it [...]

Nike has apparently obtained a new form of technology that allows them to sponsor athletes that existed in the bygone days before the footwear mega-giant came into being. It’s a growth industry. Think about it, there were thousands of athletes in the modern era that never had the luxury of having their own designer shoe. [...]

I’ve always kind of liked Matt Damon. I know that you have, too. He’s just plain likable. With that gigantic forehead and massive cranium, that every guy look about him and the fact that he’s reeeealy short. He’s not intimidating for us guys, because even though we like Matt Damon, we secretly know that we’re [...]

John McCain has a history of referring to the reporters that cover him on the campaign trail as his “base.” But that doesn’t follow with the general sentiment of the rest of the Republican party, which loves to make up a fictional “left-wing media bias” to fire up it’s base. Never mind that in coverage [...]

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a “community organizer,” except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their [...]

Apparently, Minnesotans are rioting outside of the Republican National Convention. A concert on the capital lawn yesterday turned into a protest march led by Rage Against the Machine’s Zach De La Rocha and Tom Morello. Later on, the crowd was teargassed by riot police. Earlier this week, possible protestors’ houses were searched by local police, [...]

So, John McCain has picked his VP. I can’t say that it’s the best pick or even a reasonable pick. In fact, it’s a straight up shot at the woman vote and little else. Sure, Sara Palin is a strong woman, but she’s very inexperienced in politics, serving as the mayor of a 8000 person [...]
