So. The 17 year old, unwed daughter of GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant. And she’s keeping the baby. And wants to marry the father. Clearly this means the end of support for her from the evangelical republicans. They can’t possibly support a woman who was unable to teach her daughter right from wrong. […]

Let’s look at it this way. Who is this quote from?
“The age issue, I think, was more significant in my career than the [MINORITY] issue; your resume isn’t as fat as your opponent’s, that kind of thing,” [CANDIDATE X] told TIME last month. “I don’t have 30 years of political experience under my belt but […]

At least, according to Ralph Nader. Why people have ever listened to this guy, I have no freaking clue. They should stop encouraging him. Why anyone would vote for him is beyond me. Nader said:

Except Huckabee didn’t win the nomination, and just dropped out. So was […]

But John McCain might. See, for all Obama’s hype and courting of the “young and hip” - turns out he doesn’t even read blogs. Good to know. Guess who does? Yeah, Old Man McCain. And McCain knows the difference between MySpace and YouTube - which is far better than about 90% of the politicians out […]

Have you all gone blind? Or insane? That’s one of the questions I keep asking myself this election cycle, because just about nothing I see makes any sense. I can see why the Hillary campaign is frustrated at her losing streak and that Ohio, Texas and Penn are her Alamo. Otherwise, it’s “shaka, when the […]

I believe in challenging the institution of party politics. I believe that everyone’s vote should be heard and counted. I believe that we need a mix of career politicians and outsiders. I do strongly believe that if there were significant changes to our government, America would be better off. I believe that someone’s religion, or […]
