Let The Healing Begin

Below I have pasted an article from my favorite non-American news source, The Guardian.  I read them frequently when I feel as if I can’t trust the ’standard’ news outlets.  Their agenda is quite different than say, Fox News or MSNBC.
Obama inauguration: Let the remaking of America begin today

Hillary may not qualify for cabinet post

Yikes!  There is apparently an oft forgotten little clause in the U.S. Constitution (Article One, Section Six) that prohibits senators from taking a civil office if that legislator has ever voted to increase the pay for that job.  Could this preclude Hillary from accepting the post of Secretary of State?
There is also some [...]

Alaskan Senate Race Still Unresolved

CNN is reporting that the controversial Senate race between convicted Republican incumbent Ted Stevens and Democratic challenger Mark Begich is still up for grabs.  At last count, Begich was leading Stevens by a margin of 1,022 votes.
But will that be enough to ensure victory?  Apparently, in Alaska there is a 15 day grace [...]

Obama Death Threats – Palin’s Fault?

In a startling news story, the US Secret Service has laid the blame for the spike in death threats against then presidential candidate Barack Obama right on Sarah Palin’s doorstep.
While we’re all agreed that Sarah Palin was the cause behind the spectacular fiery crash of the Republican presidential campaign this summer, it’s interesting [...]

Sarah Palin Swiped the Clothes – Did She Get Hotel Towels as Well??

Sarah Palin has apparently ‘forgotten’ to return all of the clothes that were purchased for her and her family when she became John McCain’s running mate. The clothing, in an attempt to make her presentable to the masses, was purchased at such upscale stores as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s; and at [...]

Barack Obama – 44th President of the United States

Ready to follow in the footsteps of the great American Presidents like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and FDR, Barack Obama was elected to the highest office in the land yesterday in what I will call a landslide victory.
Sweeping the polls in at least 26 states, Barack far exceeded the 270 electoral votes needed to [...]

Wanna’ see something really SCARY?

 

HIGH Voter Turnout Expected – Experts Agree

You may experience some difficulties at the polls tomorrow.  And I’m not talking about the difficulties that are Republican sponsored like this one encouraging Democrats to vote on November 5th. (ed. This is NOT true.  Everyone votes November 4th).
As more and more voters are expected to report to the polls tomorrow, there are [...]

Election Day is Tomorrow

The future of our country will be determined tomorrow. 
It’s really just that simple.  Will our future be as bright and shiny as it was for my parents on November 8, 1960 when John F. Kennedy defeated Richard M. Nixon?  Or will our future be a continuation of the last eight years under this Republican [...]

Palin’s Failin’s – Dragging Down McCain’s Chances

I would have liked to think that McCain, an obvious supporter of Bush and all of his failed policies, could never have had a real chance at the White House.  I would have thought that almost any Democratic candidate could have run, and won.
But poll numbers in the weeks immediately after the Republican [...]

More Republican Shenanigans – And From Alaska Too!

Well, Alaska has certainly been in the news quite a bit recently.  First we’ve got the ethics challenged, book-burning, anti-abortion creationist clogging up the media with her stupid and inane comments as she single-handedly tanks the Republican run for the White House. 
And now we’ve got yet another Republican from Alaska in the [...]

Your Election, Stolen by the Republicans Again??

We all know that George W. Bush isn’t the man we elected as president.  But with the manipulation of the results from overseas voters and the residents of Ohio, Bush was determined to be the winner yet again in 2004.
One of the cornerstones of his theft of the office of the president was [...]

Palin’s Failin’s – Sarah ‘Goes Rogue’, Becomes Loose Cannon

Someone once accused Barack Obama of being an elitist.  And I, in my heart of hearts, agreed with them.  A recap for those few people who don’t know about Barack’s educational background – A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review.
Harvard. Law. [...]

Palin’s Clothing Budget – More than My Household Income, by FAR!

Wow!  150,000 dollars!
$150,000.00 of Republican donations going to clothe the pit bull.  Wow………  I’ll say it again, WOW!
Albert Einstein once said “If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies… It would be a sad situation if the wrapper [...]

Obama Regains Commanding Double Digit Lead

The shininess and newness seems to be wearing off of Sarah Palin.  As new poll numbers come in it looks like the perky little Alaskan Governor is going to be glad she’ll have a job to go back to on November 5th.
With only 15 days left before election day, the reaction to John [...]

McCain’s Campaign Should Be Targeted Next By The RIAA

The RIAA has been targeting a vast assortment of individuals for copyright infringement.  From handicapped single Moms to 15 year-old girls through what seems like half the college students in the U.S. the RIAA has tried to leave no stone unturned in its pitiful attempts to extort money from those least able to [...]

Endorsements for Barack Continue to Roll In

In these brief days following the last presidential debate, two more stalwart institutions have come out in support of Barack Obama.  Both the Washington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle have wholeheartedly endorsed Barack as their pick for 2008.
It is interesting to note that both media outlets cited Barack’s calm demeanor and deliberate [...]

"Kill Him" – Fact or Fiction?

We either have a faux Fox News story that it trying to diminish the impact of any "Incite to Riot" litigation against Palin or we have a cover-up.  What’s your guess??
Report: Secret Service Says ‘Kill Him’ Allegations at Palin Rally Unfounded
A Secret Service agent called charges that a man yelled "kill him" in [...]

Obama Wins Last Debate

A poll of undecided voters has given the win in last nights debate to Barack Obama.  With a 56 to 44 percent score, the young Obama is maintaining a double-digit lead over the aged John McCain.
Reports say that McCain did better in the verbal sparring portion of the debate than he had [...]

CBS/NY Times Poll Puts Obama Ahead 14 Points

It’s just weeks away and the gap between the Democrats and the Republicans is widening to double digit results in the polls.  A new CBS News/NY Times poll puts Senator Barack Obama 14 points ahead of erstwhile rival, John McCain.
The gains that the Obama-Biden ticket have taken appear to be pretty much across [...]
