Month: September 2008

A friend emailed me a link to a typical gossip column, um, “analysis“: While Levi Johnston (pictured below) admits he’s “in a relationship” on his personal MySpace page, the teen hockey player made the candid statement that he does not exactly wanna be a parent, proclaiming, “I don’t want kids.” Way to set the record…

Whether you’re a card-carrying Libertarian, a small-l libertarian, a libertarianish political non-conformist, or I suppose even if you’re from the other side and hate libertarians, you don’t want to miss David Harsanyi’s The Libertarian Case for Palin. The potential political consequences of Sarah Palin have been chewed over from every imaginable angle. Though there is…

It seems that when Obama made a refreshment stop on the campaign trail he didn’t have time to wait for the restaurant to prepare his food and Biden couldn’t wait to get to the bar. Obama then joined Joe Biden, who had made directly for the bar when the two candidates arrived, at a table…

This video lasts about an hour and a half. It deals with health care issues in her 2006 run for Governor.

Newsweek reports that John Coale, a major Hillary fund raiser, has gone over to John McCain. There is a video from the Republican Convention at the link showing a five minute interview with Mr. Coale. John Coale, a prominent Washington lawyer, husband of Fox TV host Greta Van Susteren and a supporter of Sen. Hillary…

This was asked by Democratic political consultant Joe Trippi, who couched it by way of futuristic attribution to John McCain: …if you think a first term Governor isn’t ready for the number 2 slot, are your really sure that a first term Senator is ready for the number 1 spot? Actually, I don’t think I…

I don’t know whether Palin ever supported Buchanan, but what about this? A meme is developing out there among liberals that Gov. Sarah Palin was a supporter of Pat Buchanan in the 1990s, a charge that the McCain-Palin campaign strongly denies. Palin denies having been a Buchanan brigadista, as does the McCain campaign. Buchanan, however,…

Not in Berkeley, but in Denver, where Zombie documents a scene numbingly reminiscent of what I used to sit through when I was a Berkeley Police Review Commissioner: I personally witnessed the entire incident, from the beginning to the end, and can say without reservation that the Rocky Mountain News video is intentionally deceptive, and…

It’s tough to know where to begin with something like this, it’s so outrageous. But in light of my earlier post about the vicious attacks on Governor Palin’s daughter (“Trutherism is becoming a contagious disease”), I’m thinking that I need to revisit the question of what constitutes “trutherism.” At the core of the Truther belief…

Canadian Liberal Senator Jerry Grafstein has a few words about polls in America. “The polling demonstrates that energy independence is looming as a bigger issue than the economy,” said Sen. Grafstein. “It’s good, but it’s not directing that venom at us, but to the petrol dictators. He goes on to say that Canada wants to…

It looks like the Democrat vow to regain respect for America on the international scene has hit a snag. DENVER, Colo.–Canadian Parliamentarians in Denver last week tried to seek assurances that Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama isn’t singling out Canada as he vows to wean the U.S. off foreign oil and protect domestic jobs.…

Republicans will be running an abbreviated convention due to hurricane Gustav. Republican presidential candidate John McCain announced most of first day’s activities at the Republican National Convention would be cancelled due to incoming hurricane storms in the South. “We are going to suspend most of our activities tomorrow except for those absolutely necessary,” McCain told…

An entertaining video from J. Son of Naked Boy News, with some good questions for gay activists.
