McSame & apPallin’

Okay, you Western Pennsylvanians – I’m not saying that Murtha was necessarily right when he said that, years ago, y’all were a bunch of rednecks, or that y’all are a bunch of racists. I really don’t think he meant it exactly the way it came out. But you’ve gotta admit — John McSame should really [...]

Harry S. Truman – Great American President

If you think you get plenty of ranting political e-mails from friends and acquaintances on an average day, they just seem to multiply exponentially during Political Season, don’t they? I have a favorite antagonist – normally the sweetest guy on the planet – who, if you were to judge solely by the e-mails he forwards [...]

I Love The Smell Of Ballots In The Morning…

Project Runway: Stream of Consciousness Recap – Ep. 13

Keep in mind here that I am writing this on no food, no water, and no coffee. In fact, I will probably be struck by lightening at some point. Fair warning. We open on Kenley, Leanne, Korto, and Jerell at the runway. Heidi comes out and tells them that they will each put together a [...]

“My Hero – Ronald Reagan”

That’s all McCain had to say in tonight’s “debate”, “town hall meeting”, whatever you want to call it. Would that be the same Ronald Reagan who fell asleep during cabinet meetings? The same Ronald Reagan who didn’t admit until his presidency was over, that he had Alzheimer’s? McCain: “I have supported those efforts where the [...]
