final round of links for October

| October 26, 2008

Let’s start things off with what must be a  Darwin award nominee.  I’m glad this wasn’t in the US, but I’m sure it could happen here. Oh look!  It’s another nominee!  You’ve heard of people dumb enough to fall for those scams right…?  But someone dumb enough to steal for one?  fail. The bit about [...]

John McCain – can we trust him with younger, sexier, countries?

| October 22, 2008

Dear John, I know you held me dear in your heart, through torture & trials, and held onto dreams of return. Well, now that we’ve been back together these last few decades you’ve tried your best to love me I know, but are you sure you’re ready to take it to the next level? I’ve [...]

final debate thoughts

| October 15, 2008

I’ll keep my thoughts short since I’m tired of typing: McCain came across as really angry/annoyed (to me of course!) again. Surprise!  He brought up the Ayers crap that I thought he might have the balls to go against his Rove-eges advice.  This isn’t going to get him any points.   Specifics aside, I suspect that, [...]

if you’re still on the fence about McCain…

| October 15, 2008

…you might want to read this. Printer friendly version here, if you like to actually print things. Now, none of this is “new” info – it’s all been available online for a long period of time, but it’s handy to have it all coalesced here into one easy on the eyes place.  It was even [...]

really odd thing McCain said & other debate comments

| September 27, 2008

I’m sure it was just some kind of misspeak, but what the fuck: I think the lessons of Iraq are very clear that you cannot have a failed strategy that will then cause you to nearly lose a conflict. It’s about 2:45 in in this clip. What he’s literally saying is something like ..ok nevermind [...]

memo to McCain: you’re a war hero, we GET IT, now please shut up about it

| September 5, 2008

[NOTE: This is from a week or two ago, I just forgot to post it.] Seriously, how is this an answer to a question: LENO: Welcome back, Sen. McCain, for one million dollars, how many houses do you have? MCCAIN: You know, could I just mention to you, Jay, and a moment of seriousness. I [...]

politics lesson for the year: avoid pastors?

| May 27, 2008

Seriously, because if you dig hard enough, you can find most of them saying something stupid.  Not that Obama or McCain couldn’t have chosen better – it’s not hard to find either of their relevant pastors saying something not-media-smart.  Of course there is a slight difference in that Obama actually attended Wright’s church for years, [...]
