I can’t accuse Limbaugh of ignorance on this one because that implies that he just doesn’t have the information. This time, it’s just a case of stupid. I found this article from Metavirus over on Library Grape about Governor Sanford’s affair and what the cause was. Jimmy Kimmel had some humor (I’m assuming), but Rush took [...]

Republican Senator Richard Shelby said on Sunday that President Obama’s proposed health care reform plan is “first step in destroying the best health care system the world has ever known.” Are we talking about the least expensive health care system? No. Are we talking about the most effective health care system? It seems not. Are we [...]

I think this pretty much speaks for itself. No need for me to make any further comment. (via)

I have to admit that I don’t understand. I haven’t understood for a long time. Why… why does the US always blindly support Israel no matter what it does? Now don’t get me wrong. I’m certainly not suggesting that the actions of Hamas and the Palestinians have been any great representation of moral superiority… far from it… [...]

I watched Obama’s acceptance speech this morning and as he walked out onto the platform in front of 125,000 supporters in Chicago’s Grant Park, I joked with a co-worker that he’s walking out there thinking, “Wow… I won! OMG NOW WHAT?!?” I doubt if he was actually thinking that, but that joke and an interview question [...]

I really would like Obama to win the presidency. If that happens, what I would also like is for Republicans to control at least one of the houses of Congress. Having the Presidency, the Senate, and the House of Representatives all controlled by the same party, either Democrat or Republican, is a bad thing, in [...]

I just watched a video on Fox News of a Sean Hannity interview with McCain and Palin. It had its share of the usual claims that you would expect from either party’s candidate during a campaign, so that was no surprise and was expected. Both McCain and Obama regularly make claims about the other that [...]

Why does everyone still refer to the bailout plan as “The 700 billion dollar” plan, when it’s now bigger than 800 billion dollars?

My wife and I watched the entire debate last night and I felt a little bit disappointed. It was like watching a NASCAR race without a crash or a hockey game without a fight. Biden kept his loquaciousness under control and Palin didn’t make any Couric-esque blunders.

In an editorial by Sam Harris, this passage really struck me. Ask yourself: how has “elitism” become a bad word in American politics? There is simply no other walk of life in which extraordinary talent and rigorous training are denigrated. We want elite pilots to fly our planes, elite troops to undertake our most critical missions, [...]

I just read this editorial today and found it very interesting. It’s in English, translated from Norwegian. God as Denial of Responsibility Editorial criticism is the only place where religion and politics should meet.

A great example of classic “I am above the law” political shenanigans. Troopergate probe appears to be unraveling Though I’m sure both sides partake in this type of nonsense, the Bush administration has perfected it in the last 8 years. It looks like Palin has jumped on that bandwagon as well.
