i disagree with my sister on john kerry’s belief in god and the way in which he chooses to reconcile it with his political positions. i claim his nonsense stance is evidence that he doesn’t have one. she claims he’s taking the right position politically. what raised this disagreement were john kerry’s […]

in 2000 i was out of the country and had limited access to information on the presidential election. i asked my mom to send me news clippings, and there was one, in particular, that helped me make up my mind. it was a series of baseball questions that major league baseball posed to […]

i haven’t blogged about the NHL lockout yet, but i don’t really want to blog about it. i want it to go away. i want to know that in six months, i am going to be enjoying the two best months of the year again–months full of game sevens, quadruple overtimes, and pure […]

On Wednesday, November 3rd, America will wake up to watch the beginning of the great unraveling. Even when Bush wins big I think that the Democrats have so much emotionally invested in this election that they will not go down without a suicidal Dean-scream and a fight to their death.
Let’s review what’s going to […]

ashlee simpson cancelled a concert at a utah school today. surely, many impressionable youths were crushed to learn that they would have to listen to her CD on their own stereos, rather than hear it blasted over the school sound system. read the news report and watch the video here.

the other day, a BYU professor used an instance of some protesters being shooed out of a bush rally to take the moral high ground and declare that no democrat would ever do such a thing.
i commented on his post, and noted that democrats DO repress opposing viewpoints, using such effective (but illegal) methods as […]

ashlee simpson messed up her scheduled lip-sync on saturday night live this weekend. download the hilarious video here [3MB, windows media]. i feel bad for her, but it’s only right that the saying applies, “live by the fake image, die by the fake image”.
usa today was the first official news outlet […]

apparently, the two were kind of freestylin’ it (as the progressive musicians say) and didn’t realize that each statement topped the one before it on the overall statement-stupidity index. watch as the statements get more and more kooky and outlandish as they go on.
#1: iraqi insurgents are pretty much the same […]

Eleven days and counting.
The Bush campaign has an excellent ad out regarding Kerry & Co. wanting to slash intel spending after the first World Trade Center bombing in the 90’s. It is being compared to The Bear ad that Reagan ran in ‘84.

From an AP report regarding Kerry’s election day strategy, emphasis mine:
“Right now, we have 10,000 lawyers out in the battleground states on Election Day, and that number is growing by the day,” said Michael Whouley, a Kerry confidant who is running election operations at the Democratic National Committee.
While the lawyers litigate, political operatives will […]

because you’ve worked and sweated for every cent you have, right teresa? seriously, your statement to USA today fascinates me! especially coming from a woman who, earlier this year, couldn’t recognize the chili at a wendy’s restaurant.
