Obamas bump fists. Nation goes bonkers.

Obamas bump fists. Nation goes bonkers.

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:

It was [...]

Obama vs. McCain: Who be the Next President? (Share your thoughts)

Welp, as predicted, it’s Barack ‘Osama’ Obama vs. John ‘Survived-the-Civil-War’ McCain fighting for the title of El Presidente of the once-great US and A.
Predictions?
This pundit-in-training is calling this one for Obama, and here’s why:
The average voters, aka ‘Joe and Suzy Six-Pack’ are heavily influenced by the media to determine which candidate he/she would like to [...]



On to the General

On to the General

Despite what Hillary says, I’m moving on. We now have both of the nominees for the general election (and don’t forget Bob Barr, Libertarian! Ooo, and Ron Paul…something.) and it’s time to start making a decision.
So, who’s it going to be, America? The guy on the left or the guy on the right? It’s not [...]

Geraldine Ferraro, Avid Racist

In today’s Boston Globe, Geraldine Ferraro again participates in the Oppression Olympics** (boycotted by all dedicated to social justice) and reaffirms her racist credentials.
Ferraro is enraged that it appears a black man may get “a seat at the table” before her preferred candidate, a white woman. Like a certain segment of second-wave feminists (is [...]



Ten words I never want to hear again after this primary.

Ten words I never want to hear again after this primary.

I am hoping against hope that today will bring an end to the Never-ending Democratic Primary That Technically Ended Two Months Ago But SHHHHH Nobody Tell That To Hillary Clinton Because She’ll Get Super Pissed. I’m hoping for a definitive ending, but then again, I’m not stupid enough to actually believe it’ll happen, being that [...]



Sod Is Bitterly Clinging to Guns and Religion

Sod Is Bitterly Clinging to Guns and Religion

I’m sure by now you’ve all heard about the remarks Senator Obama made about small town Americans. As the weekend wore on for me, I watched it get twisted and over-analyized to the point of meaninglessness. This happens every time a candidate makes a statement that is even the least controversial, but oddly does not [...]

Presidential relations

You’re probably like me and thinking to yourself that this election season has been way too focused on the important issues. Why can’t it instead focus on inconsequential bullshit? Well, fortunately for us, the AP is on the job.

Why your state doesn’t matter.

Why your state doesn't matter.

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 [...]



Dear Ohio & Texas,

Dear Ohio & Texas,

It’s been really great being with you these past few years. We’ve had our good times and our bad, our ups and our downs, but it’s been a lot of fun all the way through. You’ve made me a better person and I’d like to think that I’ve done the same for you.
I was thinking [...]



Sod Previews “Super Tuesday”

By Nate • Feb 4th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Man, what an exciting weekend! I mean, it had everything- pageantry, excitement, suspense and even the requisite cathartic release. Wow. I’m still trying hard to recover.
Of course, I’m talking about the lead-up to what politicos call “Super Tuesday” and what New Orleanians call Mardi Gras, which is French for “let’s get shit-faced and throw colorful [...]
