Ultra-Minimalist Political Ad
I’m not endorsing any candidate or party, but I had to post this as it is the cheapest and funniest political ad I’ve ever seen.
Disgusted…
Where are the politicians who support peace? Goodwill? Love? Patience? Kindness? Compassion? I have no friends nor champions in this Democratic Congress and Republican White House. I’m so disgusted, I’m having trouble sharing the context of this post. Just follow any news source (but if you choose Fox News, try to at least get a… Continue reading Disgusted…
Don’t Criticize the Iraq Occupation
The White House just released this Executive Order: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/20070717-3.html Read it and then reread it. It’s for real.

David Nolan
He founded the Libertarian Party. I am baffled as to why he is running in our district (8). Unless of course, he lives here. In that case I’m just surprised that he lives here. Sorry for the recent onslaught of political posts. That’s what blogs are useful for, though.
O’Reilly on Oprah
Forget Kyl vs. Pederson. Forget Graf vs. Giffords. Oprah asked Bill O’Reilly on to her own “No Spin Zone” for a little “Town Hall” discussion. Yeah! I’m actually watching as I’m writing this, so we’ll wait and see who “wins.” It’s getting a little tense. I love a good fight! Update: To make things clear,… Continue reading O’Reilly on Oprah
