The world, always an interesting place, has not disappointed for news in the last few weeks. Below are some thoughts on just a few recent events. President Obama appeared this morning, the 87th day of the Gulf oil spill, to discuss the spill and BP’s relief efforts. According to the Heritage Foundation, today was the first time since June 22 that Obama had publicly acknowledged | Read More »
“Jesus was a Community Organizer; Pontius Pilate was a Governor.” Such was the catchphrase adopted by many supporters of Barack Obama, the former community organizer (who admitted he has no idea what a “community organizer” even does), in their attempt to prove that he was a more appropriate choice for an entirely different position than the more qualified Gov. Sarah Palin, whose selection by John | Read More »
For a sense of how badly the Associated Press tried to twist some of Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R-AK) words on foreign policy from this evening’s interview with Charles Gibson, please bear with me through the following example. The police in this country are charged with enforcing laws – if an individual, say, murders one of their fellow men, then the police are expected (required) to | Read More »
“I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a “community organizer,” except that you have actual responsibilities.” That statement, from Sarah Palin’s convention speech last night, clearly did not sit well with the Obama campaign. The following email was sent to the Obama campaign’s email list at 5 this morning under campaign manager David Plouffe’s (rhymes with “Muff”) name: I wasn’t planning on sending | Read More »
Erick said it. Ben said it. Moe said it (and said even more than that). Now, it’s my turn to briefly comment on the Event of the Evening. I was fortunate enough to watch Sarah Palin’s convention speech from a seat inside the aptly-named XCel Energy Center tonight, and have but one thing to say: Mission Accomplished. Palin hit every topic and note she needed | Read More »

The Obama campaign was quick to respond to John McCain’s surprise selection of Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) as his running mate, releasing this statement this morning: Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil | Read More »
The McCain store is selling stickers and buttons, seen at right (click for larger image), for the newly announced 2008 GOP ticket. Sharp, eh? I especially note the fact that McCain and Palin’s names are in the same font and the same color, representing their team attitude with regard to the campaign. The only thing that differentiates them is vertical positioning — as the presidential | Read More »
With a hat tip to RCP’s Tom Bevan, Democrats Ken Salazar and James Clyburn are testing out lines of attack against McCain’s apparent Veep nominee, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) — and, quite frankly, if this is the best they can do on a Friday morning, (a) they don’t have much to go on, and (b) their heads must still be spinning from the masterful job | Read More »
