Grappling With the Democratic Convention

Grappling With the Democratic Convention

Invesco Field is packed with thousands of democrats. Nearly 75,000 people (maybe more) are anxiously awaiting Barack Obama’s speech, or his “Big Speech,” as CNN seems intent on calling it. That’s right, I’m watching this on CNN, because, for some stunningly stupid reason, PBS has decided to run their Nightly Business Report instead of covering [...]



Paris Hilton = Not Hot

Paris Hilton = Not Hot

In one fell swoop, “celebrity” Paris Hilton has managed to destroy every single foothold gained for women in presidential politics achieved by Hillary Clinton. Bravo, you slutty heiress, bravo.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, count yourself lucky, go see what Erik is writing about this week and forget you were ever here. [...]



Peggy Noonan Hates America

Peggy Noonan Hates America

Peggy Noonan is a daft bitch. In a column from the Wall Street Journal last week, she laid out the tired argument of the two Americas. It’s been done many times before and it will be done many times again, and I really shouldn’t let it get to me, but I do. Seeing as she’s [...]



Hillary Wins Kentucky! Break Out The Moonshine!

Hillary Wins Kentucky! Break Out The Moonshine!

That’s right, guys and dolls, Hillary won the great state of Kentucky by a landslide. Screw the math, THIS IS NOT OVER YET! The pundits and fact-checkers and that guy who plays with the big touch-screen board on CNN, John King, have no idea what they’re talking about. She’s staying in it for the long [...]



Obama Rocks 75,000 Portlanders

Obama Rocks 75,000 Portlanders

Editors Note: Being that I’m probably suffering from a mild form of heatstroke, my misrememberance of the Oregon governmental figure that spoke before Barack Obama at the rally yesterday might be excused. It was Earl Blumenauer, not John Kitzhaber. I regret the error.(and feel like an utter moron for making it in the first place)

I [...]



Pennsylvania Bloodbath

Pennsylvania Bloodbath

Hello, country.
I’ve been getting letters from some of you out there wondering how I enjoyed Philadelphia. Let me make this perfectly clear: I’ve never been to Pennsylvania. I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I do appreciate the letters. As you all know, I am a reader. But I was not in Philadelphia [...]



37?! In a Row?

37?! In a Row?

Barack Obama no longer has a chance to become the next President of the United States. In my book, at least.
In case you hadn’t heard or didn’t think that it was important, Obama, while campaigning in Altoona, Pennsylvania, stopped into a bowling alley to chat up the townies and further enflame racial tensions by throwing [...]



Barack Obama’s Speech On Race

Barack Obama's Speech On Race

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWe7wTVbLUU

I think that everyone should watch this or at least read the transcript.
Whether you back him in his run for the presidency or not, you cannot disagree that this speech sums up where we are as a country and where we need to go almost perfectly. I’ve never been moved by a speech made during [...]



Gordon Bishop- Fear-Monger, Shitty Journalist

Gordon Bishop- Fear-Monger, Shitty Journalist

Before I start this post, I want to point out that I’m not exactly sure I feel comfortable about the subject matter. I’m a blogger, which barely makes me literate and almost decrees that I use made-up internet words like “teh” and replace a certain number of the “s” at the end of words with [...]



What I Learned From Super Tuesday

What I Learned From Super Tuesday

Like many of you, I arrived home from work last night, flicked my TV to CNN/MSNBC/FOX NEWS/PBS and let the results of 22 primaries and caucuses wash over me like lukewarm pea soup.
My head is still spinning.
Here’s what I learned…

Obama won the delegate count, won more states by a larger margin and closed the margin [...]
