    The Poor Maligned McNugget

    Published June 30th, 2010

    There’s been a bit of a hullabaloo this week about a recent CNN story. It seems that American (and not British, the article was very specific on this) McNuggets, from McDonald’s, contain a chemical called dimethlypolysiloxane. Oh, the horror! Really, what’s the point of thisfaux outrage? The article is quick to point out the supposed danger […]

    Messiahs don’t get grace periods

    Published February 17th, 2009

    At least, not when the messiah is named President Barack Obama. Repeatedly I have posted here that Obama is not the liberal political messiah, he is simply another politician. The “devoted” leftists might label me a hater, but that is not the case - I voted for Obama in the primaries, I voted for Obama […]

    Warrin’ over Warren

    Published December 19th, 2008

    So Barack Obama has chosen Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren to deliver the Inaugural Invocation. Almost immediately cries of protest went up among some of Obama’s most fervent suporters in some of the most Pro-Obama areas of the country. I’ve been saying this all along - Obama is not a radical political messiah, he’s just […]

    Lonely and Sad

    Published December 9th, 2008

    When we feel strongly about something and know others who also feel the same way, we seem to instinctively fall into a tribal mentality - we instantly divide the world into “Us” and “Them” and throw reason out the window. This is partisanship on a grander scale. It is also borne of such deep rooted […]

    Equal Time

    Published December 9th, 2008

    Anyone who knows me or reads this blog or is a facebook friend of mine should figure out pretty quickly that my political views lean strongly into liberal territory. But the reason for that is that I have a fundamental belief in fairness and equality. Do not mistake it for a belief in partisanship - […]

    Well There’s a Can of Worms

    Published June 24th, 2008

    Everyone’s favorite religious wacko, James Dobson, has pretty much invalidated many of his own moral arguments. And it seems he’s too short-sighted to even realize it.
    It seems that Mr. Dobson has taken umbrage with some comments made in a speech by Barack Obama. He went on his radio show and did his best to tear […]

    Ron Paul Revolt (Ross Perot Evolved)

    Published February 1st, 2008

    I’ve mentioned this before, but it bears some further thought, analysis and discussion. The Ron Paul “Revolution” phenomenon is one of the most fascinating and unique trends in American political history. I’m not exaggerating - his campaign dynamic is the first of it’s kind. But it might also be the last, for multiple reasons and […]

    In Michigan and Florida, No One Can Hear You Vote

    Published January 9th, 2008

    Hillary Clinton will win Michigan by a landslide. You can take that one to the bank.
    What you can also take to the bank is that it won’t affect her delegate total at all. Currently, she leads Obama 183-78. And after Michigan it will be the same. And as for her “shocking” victory in New Hampshire, […]

    Iowa Caucus 2008

    Published January 4th, 2008

    The Iowa Caucus, as a predictive tool, is pretty much worthless. They’ve chosen the president correctly (in a contested race) only twice - Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush. Bill Clinton only got about 3% in 1992. Iowa is barely worth anything in the total delegate count - as well it should be, since it’s […]

    I Work in a Zoo

    Published January 4th, 2008

    A thousand TV cameras, trucks, newsvans and a couple of helicopters here at work this morning. It’s absolute chaos, they’re blocking the street in places and being a general nuisance. I don’t really get why they’re here, it’s not like they can actually take pictures of her or something - especially from a helicopter. They […]
