The Real Bill Ayers

Politics 17 November 2008 | 1 Comment

I started a draft of a post about Bill Ayers shortly after Sarah Palin began using his name as a synonym for the terrorist euphemism the Republicans created circa 2001. But while the original tone of the piece was meant to be in defense of Ayers, it began to shift into a condemnation of Palin [...]

Palin Doesn’t Consider Abortion Clinic Bombers Terrorists

I’m envious of Spencer Ackerman’s ability to write a thoughtful post even though he has a raging cold that isn’t responding to medication. I also have a cold and have barely managed to sit upright this week without it feeling like a major accomplishment. But onward I attempt to march. 
Sarah Palin, so fond of tossing [...]

Debate Thoughts

Politics 16 October 2008 | 1 Comment

I’m overwhelmed with work and life stuff this week but I wanted to briefly discuss my thoughts about the final (thank FSM) debate of this election cycle.  The polls are slanted in favor of Obama but McCain did surprisingly well for the first half of the debate.

The McPalin Mob

Politics 9 October 2008 | 1 Comment

Blogger Interrupted has a video of McPalin supporters showing up to a rally in Strongsville, Ohio. Many volunteer to speak on camera which shows right away that they’re definitely not the brightest of the bunch. Though I’m not a fan of the forceful way the interview asks each person straight out if they think Obama’s [...]

The Lows Keep Getting Lower

Politics 7 October 2008 | 0 Comments

I’ve spent the better part of today trying to start a post about the audience behavior at some Sarah Palin rallies in Florida but my brain keeps shutting down at the vile information I’m forcing it to process. The McPalin ticket dusted off the Bill Ayers story (which was already debunked when it came up [...]
