Sarah Palin will run for President of the United States in 2012 as an independent party candidate. I don’t know why I didn’t see this before. It helps to explain her acting coy about a bid, her avoidance of the traditional trips to Iowa and New Hampshire and her increasing willingness to stick it in … Continue reading
There is a scene from the Naked Gun 2 1/2 that takes place in a lonely bar. The camera pans over some sad sack drinkers and then across the odd artwork on the walls. They are posters of famous disasters; the Hindenburg explosion, the Titanic sinking and then…a smiling Michael Dukakis. The reference to his 1988 presidential campaign … Continue reading
Many of us are stunned by the attempted assassination of a Congresswoman in Arizona, but should we be?

In the 2008 presidential election the Republicans made much of the fact that Barrack Obama was a former community organizer (a job he held from the ages of 23 to 26). I suppose if he was still 26 years old and that was the only job he had ever held that might have meant something. … Continue reading
Former Sen. John McCain, who foisted Sarah Palin on the unsuspecting American public, has died. Despite his record as a war hero and one time independent voice in Congress, he will be remembered primarily for the damage he did to his beloved country by rashly selecting the mostly unknown and thoroughly unprepared Alaska governor and thrusting her onto the national political scene. … Continue reading
