With everyone’s favorite Alaskan wingnut, Sarah Palin (sorry, Jewel), quitting to win last Friday, there was even more incentive to shoot off fireworks this weekend. For those jubilant about her stammering, rambling, breathless withdrawal from her “lame duck” position as Governor of Alaska (although, how any first-term governor can be called a lame duck is [...]

You’ll have to excuse me. I got to this high school cat fight a little late. I was in wood shop when someone ran in and told everyone that Sarah Palin and David Letterman were having it out on the quad. So, I ran all the way here from the wood shop building, let me [...]

It’s less than two weeks until Election Day, which can mean only one thing. It’s time to play “Paraphrasing the Candidates,” where I play you a video of the candidate, and then transcribe for you exactly what they said. Kind of.

I, for one, take offense. Mr. McKinnon, I lived in Fargo [...]

He’s not intimidating for us guys, because even though we like Matt Damon, we secretly know that we’re [...]

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a “community organizer,” except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their [...]

So, John McCain has picked his VP. I can’t say that it’s the best pick or even a reasonable pick. In fact, it’s a straight up shot at the woman vote and little else. Sure, Sara Palin is a strong woman, but she’s very inexperienced in politics, serving as the mayor of a 8000 person [...]
