• Reflections On Bush

  I miss George W. Bush. To be completely honest, I have a lot less to write/blog about since he’s left… Oh, I love Obama’s idea on [fill in the blank]. It is such a terrific idea. He is the greatest president ever. I am so proud to be an American right now. It just doesn’t [...]

• Media Is Blind To Obama’s Mandate

  In 2000, Texas Governor George W. Bush received less votes than Vice-President Al Gore. After a lengthy legal battle over the contested results from the tie-breaking state of Florida in the historically close election, a legal process that found itself in the Supreme Court, Bush was decreed the victor. Two months later, the president was [...]

• One Positive From Bush’s Legacy

  Al Gore lost in 2000 and John Kerry lost in 2004 partly because the youth did not get out to vote. “Youth” is typically prescribed to those between 18 and 24 years of age. If you do not fall in that range, I’m sorry, but you are old. Obama’s current “lead” and his ability to [...]

• Straight Talk

  I’ll make these comments before McCain accepts his party’s nomination this evening… John McCain deserved his party’s nomination in 2000.

• Obama Leads (For Now)

  Jiminy Cricket — I mean, holy fuck’n shit… Obama leads in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. This still may be a part of Obama’s post-primary bump. Let’s wait and see what happens after the inevitable “Obama is a terrorist and he may be related to Osama” GOP television ads. Speaking of which, can we truly believe [...]

• Internetventing

  From Vanity Fair’s history of the internet… The Legislator: Vice President Al Gore He got a bum rap. Gore never claimed to have “invented the Internet,” though columnists said otherwise and had sport with him anyway. Here’s what Gore really did: throughout the 1980s, as a senator from Tennessee, he stood out as a highly [...]

• Let Me Tell You About My Sock

  Let me tell you about my sock, my right sock, in particular. (I should note that this sock has also been worn by my left foot countless times; this is why I like this sock, he’s a switch-hitter. He’s not a part of those “Oh, I’m a left-only sock” and “I’m a right-only sock” crowds. [...]

• Who are these 2-3 potential candidates?

  Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, former Vice President Al Gore, and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York are three people who may, at one time or another, jump into the fracas of the Democratic primaries. Ideally, Al Gore will remain on the sidelines and support Dean for President (who has the best chance at this [...]
