Does anyone else remember all of the talk of riots in the streets of inner-city America if Barack Obama lost the Presidential race? How it would be horrible and unnecessary and yet another sign that black people are quick to violence when wronged by “the man.” There were even commentators out there who said that [...]

I’m guessing you’re all like me, on pins and needles about how this whole Election thing is going to end up. After all, Election 2008 to this point has been, in a word, bugfuck nuts. So what kind of crazy chicanery are we all in store for in the next week to come? Fortunately for [...]

Most marathon runners will tell you that, around mile 22 or 23, they hit a wall. They reach that point where they simply want to stop, both physically and mentally. It’s an overwhelming feeling and even the hardiest runners have trouble getting through it, no matter how prepared they are.
For the record, it’s going to [...]

A letter from John Reisman, founder of the Centrist Party:
As founder of the Centrist Party, I can only speak for myself as an
individual. Maybe this is representative of the Centrist point of view
for some, but certainly not all. I don’t know how much it matters, but I
wanted to share why I am voting for Barack [...]

So apparently this whole election thing is still going to happen, despite no one entirely being certain if we’ll still be a country a month from now. As such, it’s time for debate number two or three or fifteen or whatever the hell of the 2008 Presidential Election. Come along with us, the Sod nation, [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

You might have noticed that here at the SodBlog, to this point we’ve been a little bit hard on Hillary Clinton. And it’s a valid argument. But after having watched Saturday Night Live for the last three weeks, I, along with the rest of the news media, am now convinced that we’ve been far too [...]
