VP vs. VP

Sarah Palin sat down with Katie Couric today. The interview comes in two parts. Part I Watch CBS Videos Online Part II (Note that the last minute or so of this one is identical to a minute in the first one): Watch CBS Videos Online For the record: I don't think that Palin did nearly […]

House votes to drill -- where there's no oil

Yesterday, the House voted 236-189 for a bill that would open up a miniscule portion of the outer continental shelf for drilling, allow a few states along the southern eastern seaboard to allow drilling, but would give the states that allowed it no benefit -- and therefore no incentive -- to allow it. This farce […]

Pick one

Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen is losing it. From his column yesterday: In the biographies of both presidential candidates are episodes of pure wonderment. No man can read about McCain's time as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam and not wonder, "Could I do that?" For most of us, the answer -- the truthful […]

One of the signs of the apocalypse

A few days ago I made the following observation regarding Gov. Sarah Palin's "troopergate" scandal. The real vetting question should be: Why couldn’t this reform-minded governor get a guy who shouldn’t be a lawman fired? Today, Mike Gravel agrees with me. "Troopergate" is going to come out in [Palin's] favor when they really get down […]

The mature and the immature

Some celebrities are adults: When Barack Obama finished his acceptance speech Thursday night (Aug. 28) at the Democratic National Convention, a lot of country fans were no doubt surprised — or downright shocked — that Brooks & Dunn’s “Only in America” provided the soundtrack to the festivities while the Obama family and vice presidential candidate […]

Random thoughts

I'm more than a little steamed by the looney left and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) and their treatment of Gov. Sarah Palin and her family. Case in point, the wonderful Democrats at DailyKos: [not a link to the sewer] "If health insurance for all, an end to the Iraq War, an end […]

How to win friends and influence people

I've mentioned before that Sen. Barack Obama's vote to kill (excuse the pun) a bill that would affirm that babies born alive deserve medical treatment -- even if they happen to have survived a botched abortion. I've also tried to make the case that this incident really shouldn't be classified as an "abortion" vote. The […]

Running the numbers

Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Powell has crunched the numbers -- both in photos and words -- and it should come as little surprise that Obama is getting substantially more photos and stories than his GOP rival. The explanations are predictable, and to some extent may be true. But, as Howell acknowledges, it doesn't look good.

Cone of silence scandal

I've mentioned before that Sen. Barack Obama's performance at Saturday evening's Civil Forum on the Presidency at Saddleback Church was noticably inferior to that of John McCain. Where Obama paused, uhhh'd and stumbled his way through much of the evening, McCain appeared in his element and much better composed. Obama's people have taken these disparate […]
