My mini-vacation is officially over and I’m returning to regular blog “duties” today. Many thanks to my guest posters who so ably helped out while I was away. And just as an aside, I wanted to note that my traffic actually increased slightly when Fitz, Sam, and PWalker were posting, instead of me. I’ll have […]
Posted by Fitz I work in a technology field. I have a cell phone. I have even been known to score a baseball game on a PDA. So it surprises people when I am seemingly anti-technology. What they do not understand is that I view technology as simply a tool. And, like any tool, its […]
Posted by PWalker Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention featured Teresa Heinz Kerry and Barack Obama. It’s easy to see why people think that Obama stole the show. I thought he was very impressive as well. But for me, the pound-for-pound champion of the night was Ilana Wexler. Ilana Wexler is a twelve-year-old political […]
Posted by PWalker Fidel Castro was in the news today, responding to charges leveled against him in a speech by President Bush. Bush charged that Cuba is a “major destination for sex tourism” and further: The regime in Havana, already one of the worst violators of human rights in the world, is adding to its […]
Posted by PWalker President Bush is once again siding with the special interests against ordinary Americans. Previously, this administration went to bat to “protect” us against cheaper drugs being imported from Canada. Now the administration is blocking medical lawsuits by consumers who say they were injured by prescription drugs or medical devices. From the New […]
Posted by SamFelder The first night of the Democratic National Convention offered red meat to those of us starving for a strong message from our party. For seven hours, the event proceeded perfectly. Everyone stayed on message, repeating again and again that John Kerry’s military and political experience best prepares him to lead America. As […]
Posted by Fitz Since the Carpetbagger is away and has foolishly let the riffraff in I can devote a post to something far more important than politics. I mean, of course, baseball. Why the Carpetbagger does not expend more energy (or, for that matter, any energy) discussing America’s pastime is a subject for another post. […]
Posted by Fitz I really had not intended to make three posts today, but this piece from the Associated Press was so absurd that I felt it required comment. I have pretty much come to expect that any AP piece with Will Lester’s byline will be disjointed and illogical. I do not know if the […]
Posted by SamFelder The latest doumentary to get under Roger Ailes’ craw is OutFOXed. The irreverant documentary pulls together footage from Fox News Channel broadcasts and interviews with former staff to prove Fox’s pandering to the Republican party. The kicker is that Outfoxed producers chose not to ask Fox for permission to use their footage. […]
Posted by PWalker The GOP has been in quite an uproar over the recent allegations that Sandy Berger removed classified documents from the National Archives. But we can expect to hear continuing silence from the GOP regarding news that Republican Senator Richard Shelby is under criminal investigation about intelligence leaks. Even today there is a […]
