I just watched the December 9th episode of “The Daily Show”, which ended with Jon Stewart’s interview with Governor Mike Huckabee on the issue of same-sex marriage. Stewart did a good job with the interview, making his point forcefully without being disrespectful to his guest. He raised almost all of the relevant points, he explained…

Hey, did you guys hear? Sarah Palin said something dumb that was picked up by the “gotcha” media again! I can remember hoping for more substance than sound bites and petty insults in this election, more talking about actual issues instead of transparent attempts at media manipulation. And I keep trying to rein in my…

Over the past couple of days, there’s been a good bit of attention towards the change in tone of the presidential campaign, more specifically, the McCain campaign. “McCain Denounces Pitchfork-Wavers”, announces the Time Magazine blog. And “Obama Thanks McCain for Admonishing Reporters”. The incident in question is a campaign rally in which McCain told his…

Great video from The Jed Report blog, where Obama predicts the McCain/Palin smear campaign. It’s downright calming if you’re like me, and you’ve been watching both the far-left and far-right get increasingly hysterical, and getting worried that we’ll never be able to climb our way out of this nonsense.

The worst thing about you liberals (if I have to pick just one) is the way you’re commandeering our language.

Earlier at a fundraiser in Englewood, Colorado, she departed from her usual speech to…

I had to watch the repeat of the Vice-Presidential debate tonight, which means I got to see all the people a-twittering about it first. Based on what I was reading, I expected something very different from what I saw. But then, I’m about as politically ignorant as you can get. (Without using the word “repug”…

We’re now two and a half months into the End Times, and of course here I am, still writing “Living in a Righteous and Just Society” on my checks. As I’m sure you’re all aware, what’s brought about Imminent Rapture is the California Supreme Court ruling that the state’s ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.…

I admit I’ve been out of the loop, politically, for the last 36 years or so, but were y’all aware that two of the three people most likely to be the next President are not white men? Even with all the time since the Democratic primary to let it sink in, I’m still finding myself…
