It’s official… A text message at 3 am this morning declared Joe Biden as Obama’s running mate.
DENVER — The candidate who claimed the Democratic presidential nomination with a message of change has turned to a six-term senator and Washington insider for his running mate.
Barack Obama’s choice of Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as the Democratic vice [...]

John McCain, national hero and second-most famous person over 90 (keep on truckin, Wilford Brimley!) is also a moron. Prior to the current campaign strategy of calling Obama a ‘celebrity,’ the McCain MO was to paint Barack as an elitist. Well looky what I found:
WASHINGTON - Days after he cracked that being rich in the [...]

In what has to be the stupidest attack on anyone, ever, the McCain campaign has gone after Barack Obama for taking his shirt off and bodysurfing WHILE ON VACATION IN HAWAI’I.
To quote the campaign’s attack: “You know you may just be a global celebrity when you get this headline in Reuters, “Obama Takes Shirt Off [...]

In an effort to keep my gmail inbox fair and balanced, I recently signed up for McCain’s internet offerings (as I’m already in the Obama loop).

With all the talk in the news about Next Year’s Presumptive President of the United States Barack Obama and Next Year’s Presumptive Unwilling Admittee to a Retirement Home John McCain, not a lot of ink is being devoted towards anyone else in the presidential race. But Erik, I hear you say with my superhuman Internet [...]

Some dude named ‘Glenn’ posted the following comment on Obama vs. McCain: Who be the Next President?:
Lets see, the old white guy who was a war hero and has years, and I do mean years of political experience, our the young black guy with almost NO political experience, thats a tough one. I think I [...]

“I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.” -Gen. Wesley Clark, on CBS’ Face The Nation, Sunday.
What, if anything, is wrong with that statement? According to the majority of the mainstream media, a whole hell of a lot. Or there’s at least enough controversy to [...]

A few days ago, new Marriage Amendment was introduced in congress. I should clarify. The Marriage Bills that have been introduced (and eventually, mercifully shot down) have all been about making sure that “the gays” can never marry one another. This, of course, would cause widespread chaos and a new found sense of unity among [...]
