There is no knowing the Evil Eyebrow
I’ve been having some lively discussions surrounding Wikileaks’ release of United States diplomatic cables on November 28, 2010. I seem to be confusing some people with my arguments and statements. I intend to clear this up. For the record: I support Wikileaks’ publication of the diplomatic cables. However that information came into their hands, their …

Thanks, David, for passing this along to me. I am amused. (and it’s true: let the dude smoke if he needs to) You know, as I was about to push POST on this, I realized that I couldn’t think of any Republican videos or spoofs similar to this one. I mean, this is definitely a …
Without preamble, here are the ways I’m going this election season, and why: Georgia State Constitutional Amendment #1: “Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to make Georgia more economically competitive by authorizing legislation to uphold reasonable competitive agreements?” I will vote NO NO NO. This could also be stated, “Shall the Constitution …
You know what I hate? What I really really hate? I hate sounding like I’m a mouthpiece for the Democratic party. Unfortunately I can’t let stand certain things, like when Conservative mouthpieces just plain make stuff up. Did you know that the Democrats are planning to steal your 401(k) funds? I didn’t either. Until yesterday. …
The Maine Republican party has voted in a new platform filled with buzzwords, diatribe and just plain craziness. Usually, I don’t care too much about other state’s political doings, but my in-laws mostly live in Maine and it’s sad to me when one of a state’s two major (and very important) political parties gets hijacked …
People who use social media because a marketeer has told them “You really should be on Twitter” shouldn’t. Why? It leads to embarrassing moments. John Oxendine, prospective governor of Georgia, has been caught using Twitter for the sake of promotion but without actually caring what Twitter is all about, or accuracy for that matter. This …
If you’re into politics, you should read FiveThirtyEight. It is an excellent resource for poll compilations and is especially interesting if you have any interest in statistics. The writing the website is non-partisan, most of the time, and it does not seek to espouse any particular political position. What it does is to analyze other …
Governor Sarah Palin has got to be the recent political world’s biggest scam artist. She has certainly risen to her level of incompetence. For example, I present a quote, concerning the Federal Bailout and her opposition to…something about it (I’m not sure exactly what she’s opposing). Palin said that a “bigger federal government and more …
Doubtless this will be making the rounds, but Newsweek has the inside scoop on the campaigns of both candidates. I’ve only gotten through page one of the first item, but so far it is worth it.
I love election season. Not only do you get bumper stickers like “Republicans for Voldemort!” , but you get fake campaigns like Zod for President (who came so close to winning last time). Now we have the Saul Tigh/Laura Roslin ticket. Who doesn’t want to vote for a known alien, who’s species has been reliably …
