Proving that money speaks louder than ideology, the Fox Network has asked for and received permission from Major League Baseball to delay game six of the World Series by 15 minutes.

That is…if there is a game six.

Let tonight’s debate be forever the last one.

All the debates so far, going back to the presidential primaries, have been bad jokes.

It’s time to cancel presidential debates.

Last week’s debate, touted as a “free-wheeling town hall” was anything but that.

Calling Dr. Phil!

It might take one assh**e to cure another.

Quote of the young century by John McCain:

We’re down by six points. We've got 'em where we want 'em!

How many other things can be apply that illogic to “they’re just where we want them?

Oh, swell.

Bad news for us. Instead of retiring to his steerless, fake ranch and cutting brush between now and January 20^th, Bush will work “hard” to solve the economic ills of the country before leaving office.

We’d be so much better off if he’d just butt out and go back… Read full post »

McCain lies. Rabble-rousing on the rise. McCain in the tank. Hope we can take that to the bank.

Due to the rabble-rousing of the reddest necks in the Republican party, on Friday at a rally in Minnesota, John McCain was forced to take the microphone away from a nasty, ignorant old lad… Read full post »

After chiding Joe Biden for lookin’ back during the vice presidential debate, Sarah Palin went on to look back and dredge up any crap she could think of -- or was written on her crib notes -- to throw up in the air in the hope it falls… Read full post »

If only some ballsy questioner had asked McCain when he's going to stop Sarah Palin from inciting rally-goes to riot, and shouting out hateful threats because of her lying accusations that Barack Obama is a terrorist.

But no, they all looked like a bunch of frightened people who had been… Read full post »

Freedom of the press and freedom of speech are the cornerstones of what makes this a free country, and they are what keeps free people…free!

Therefore, if I were Gwen Ifill and being a journalist, after welcoming the debaters I would have said:

“Sen. Biden, please excuse… Read full post »

Sarah Palin is the Dick Cheney pig in lipstick.

The single most frightening, glaring headline to come out of last night’s vice presidential debate is that Sarah Palin still doesn’t know what the vice president does and she wants the extra power that Dick Cheney has bestowed on himself.

The Only Poll That Counts…I won’t even bother finishing that sentence.

Do any people beside political junkies, TV and radio bloviators pay attention to polls?

Yesterday a friend emailed me this:

Hi Everyone,

PBS is doing one of those instant on-line polls to ask ' America ' if the… Read full post »

Scientific Pop Quiz for Sarah Palin

Speculation is that Sarah Palin will have a tough time in duking it out with Joe Biden in the veep debate. That remains to be seen; we all might be surprised. But considering her lack of scientific curiosity, how would she do if someone threw… Read full post »

McCain’s his name; craps his game.

By his own admission John McCain likes to gamble, and now the gambler wants to be President; McCain thinks the presidency is a crap shoot.

When asked if he’ll be at the debate Friday night, he said he’s betting that there… Read full post »

World travel and possession of a passport does not a foreign policy expert make. Lacking both doesn't signify a lack of curiosity about the world either.

Frankly, I don’t get Katie Couric’s question to Sarah Palin about what took her so long to get a passport (last year), or that people… Read full post »

We got to see Barack Obamba and John McCain side by side, and we can take what we want from the fact that even at Jim Leher's urging, McCain never once looked Obama in the eye.

They say he does that with people he doesn't like. What will he do when… Read full post »

Giving the money back. It depends on how you look at it.

Republican V.P. candidate Sarah Palin, who professes to be unscrupulously clean and above it all when it comes to political corruption, has decided to return $2,030 contributed to her 2006 gubernatorial campaign by allegedly corrupt Alaskan pol… Read full post »

You cannot make up this crap.

Quote. Los Angles Times, Sept. 24:

Standing outside the Midtown hotel where (Sarah) Palin was meeting with (Hamid) Karzai, Tamara Sverdlov, a business analyst, said the vice presidential nominee's experience as a mother of five probably made up for her lack of foreign po… Read full post »

Congress, don’t make the same mistake twice.

Fool the fools in Congress once…

My greatest fear is that Congress -- in a panic to do “something,” and anxious to go on the campaign trail -- will pass Bush’s bailout bill as written it.

Anyone ever hear of a Bush-authorized plan for seven years of war in Afghanistan? 

Seven years of fighting a war in Afghanistan. It's news to me.
