State of the Race: Where the hell are we?

In less than 48 hours, those who haven’t already voted will start heading to the polls. So where is the race two days out?
Well, speaking to the British press, GOP pollster Frank Luntz “cannot foresee a scenario that John McCain is elected the President of the United States.” Fretful Democrats, speaking mostly to their therapists, [...]

McStop - Pollin’

If you have a phone book and a phone, chances are you put out a poll.
Everyone from the LA Times to Reuters to Fox to some dingdong named Rasmussen is joining the poll party. Seriously. Stop now. Obama is up 4 points, up 11 points, down 4 points when matched evenly, up 6 points when [...]

Friday: The end of the world?

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS: I was in Chinatown this morning and there was an elderly Chinese woman in front of the Post Office clubbing a rat to death with her walking stick. It was worse because the stick had one of those safety pad things on the bottom so she was clubbing it with relative kindness. I [...]

Get it done!

Now I’m not sure who these Lehman Brothers are, if they’re hot, if they are willing to “play together” since they need the money, or [...]

Seriously.

For the last week or so, my beleaguered better half has been calling me from the road with travel crises and genuine work stress, and my response is basically “yes, yes, okay, yes but WHAT ABOUT SARAH PALIN OMFG.” My friend Carl (who has small town values, btw) and my Pinko co-conspirator Stirling are perilously close [...]

A time for Action! Sexy Vice Presidential Action!

According to an intelligence report being prepared for the next president, US dominance will decline in “political, economic and arguably, cultural arenas.” (Did we ever have dominance in cultural areas?) This is assuming, of course, the world isn’t swallowed by a black hole, destroyed by nuclear warfare in the Middle East, or reclaimed by God.
Isn’t [...]
