I might be a little bit late coming to this, but did you know that you can watch Obama’s weekly address? That the White House has a YouTube page? Here you go–yesterday’s address.

Rich on the Big Victory
Posted in politics on November 9, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I think I’m on the outside when it comes to most progressives’ opinion of Frank Rich: I could take or leave him. His prose is a bit too jump-up-and-down-arms-waving for me. But the editorial in today’s Times really does it for me.
For eight years, we’ve been told by those in power that we are small, [...]
Endorsement: Sheriff

The Hamilton County Sheriff is running for re-election this year–unopposed.
To remind people of the kind of man he is, I’ll copy here his infamous 2005 speech on Fountain Square, which is fondly known as “Sheriff Leis vs. Satan.” (Note: My apology for the caps. The sheriff’s department released the speech that way and I’m not [...]

…detested John McCain as much as I do right now. He is foolish, wrong-headed, and dangerous. There is nothing presidential about this man.
Shame, shame, shame.
In Sum…

I don’t know how to remain involved in politics without my blood pressure spiking. Here’s what’s happening:
McCain supporters routinely shout “terrorist,” “traitor,” and other epithets I won’t mention here
McCain supporters boo him when he calls Obama “decent” (because decent is a ringing endorsement)
Palin was found to have abused her power as governor, in a Springer-worthy [...]

In other news, Obama was in the ‘Nati yesterday, along with about 15,000 people in Ault Park. I didn’t go because I had to work, but at 11:00 (his speech was at 3), people were already trekking up from MLS and HPS. I thought, naively, that the local news last [...]

VP Debate, Issues that Matter
Posted in health care, politics on October 3, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Well, did you all watch? Do you agree with the “MSM” that she won–not because she won, but because expectations for her were so low, and she managed to fill the air with words while smiling the whole fucking time? No matter that she flat didn’t answer questions, talked about a mysterious General “McClellan,” and [...]
