John McCain, Flag Thief

Today McCain supporters distributed 12,000 mini American flags at a rally in Colorado Springs. They claimed they “rescued” the flags from Obama’s acceptance speech in Denver were they found them in the trash. What?! They were just going to throw away flags! That’s not change you can believe in!
Shortly after the news broke, the DNC [...]

Give ‘um the truth and they’ll think it’s hell!

They might have a “pit bull with lipstick” but we have a pit bull with laser eyes and killer bees instead of teeth. Let’s go to the tape.

John McCain: POW, Human Ambien [Updated.]

John McCain’s speech last night had two central themes. The first was designed to highlight the fact that he was a prisoner of war who was imprisoned during a time of war while he was also, incidentally, a POW. The second was a broadside against the Republican party designed to convince moderates and independents that [...]

Drinking game. [Updated.]

If you’re watching this horror show in St. Paul, drink every time there is a reference to John McCain as a POW or his son going to Iraq, both topics he said he would never use for political gain. It’s 9:50 now; you’ll be trashed by 10:05.[BREAKING: John McCain was a POW.} 

On community organizing. [Updated.]

Every year, thousands of young people sign on for low-paying, backbreaking work as community organizers. These are Democrats and Republicans, partisan jobs and issue-based jobs, secular jobs and often positions filled by churches, social service organizations and charities. The term “community organizer” can be a little vague, but basically it’s a role in which you [...]

Palinoscopy

It’s Wednesday and Ashton Kutcher has yet to emerge from my closet with a camera crew. It would appear that I am not, in fact, being Punk’d. Sarah Palin really is the Republican’s choice for Vice President of America!
Tonight Governor Palin will take the stage in what will undoubtedly be the most important speech of [...]

Backstage at the Ron Paul revolution.

Of all the junkets, parties and press rooms I’ve been to in the last 11 days this is the first one to have good old fashioned sandwich meats. Frankly this may be the first event with any meat at all. I’m not sure what that means about Ron Paul and his agenda, but you can [...]

Sprayed in St.Paul

Well I haven’t found any gay Republicans yet; then again I haven’t really looked. Also I went to the bathroom before I left the hotel which lowers the odds dramatically. The main story from yesterday (besides Juno Palin) were the protests, and the extreme (and unnecessary) force of the Minneapolis-St. Paul police.
In 2000 I was [...]

Juno from Juneau.

Okay this election has totally “jumped the shark”

DailyKos has a summary of the best conspiracy theory I’ve ever heard: That Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s 5th baby isn’t really her baby at all — it’s her daughter’s, and Palin faked the pregnancy to protect daughter Bristol from the stigma of being a pregnant teen.
The summary is very convincing: Palin never really showed; [...]
