    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 […]

    It’s Tuesday, and You Know What That Means…

    Published December 18th, 2007

    Some quick hit thoughts and links for a rainy Tuesday here:
    Ron Paul (who I am not fond of) invokes on of my favorite Sinclair Lewis quotes (”When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”) to discuss Mike Huckabee’s latest campaign commercial. The Fox News show host nearly […]

    Yeah, I’m still going on about this

    Published December 7th, 2007

    My blog, and yeah, I’m pissed. The more I think about the things Romney said, the more angry I get. It’s no surprise he gave his speech at the George H.W. Bush library - the library of a man who once said, “No, I don’t know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should […]

    Hallelujah!

    “If, as Mr. Romney correctly says, the country’s founders took care not to impose a religious test for any public office, a candidate’s belief, or not, in the divinity of Christ ought to be irrelevant.”
    Spot on. I’m posting practically the last half of the […]

    Well, he’s half right…

    Published December 6th, 2007

    So, apparently Mitt Romney believes that “Freedom requires religion, and religion requires freedom.”
    At the same time, he decried those who would remove from public life “any acknowledgment of God,” and he said that “during the holiday season, nativity scenes and menorahs should be welcome in our public places.”
    I’m sorry - what? I have no problem […]

    Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

    Published May 11th, 2007

    Joseph Smith, that is. This election cycle, we have a Mormon running for president. It isn’t the first time - Joseph Smith himself ran in 1844. He was also brutally killed during his candidacy. It’s an interesting story for another time, feel free to read about it yourself - it was a violent reaction to […]
