For those of you that, like me, were distracted Friday night, here’s the full video of the McCain/Obama debate.

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.

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).

“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 [...]

We are all consumers. It could be argued that we can more readily recognize major corporate brand symbols, such as Nike’s Swoosh, McDonald’s Arch and Apple’s…well, apple than we can recognize the current president, George Washington, how many Senators there are, or just about any other benchmark of Americanness. We are fast becoming less American [...]

Someday, when we are all old and gray, we’ll be able to look back at the date of Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008 and tell our grandchildren where we were and what we were doing when one of the seminal moments in this country’s history occurred. Because it was on that date that this happened:
