It was the one of the most deplorable ads of the political season. It was the Obama campaign down in the sewer. Apparently the stench is so bad on this one Democrat VP candidate Joe Biden has chided the Obama Campaign (“I am Barack Obama, and I approved this ad”) and defended McCain on this […]

Wait just one second. As I have noted many times the Troopergate saga is a political hit job, and recently one of our readers connected the dots to show it is probably a coordinated smear between Palin’s political enemies (which she has earned many in her efforts to clean up corruption). The media is relying […]

Given the fact the last decade of globally cooling temperatures has totally erased what was a Global Warming spike, some statisticians have been back looking at the graph that started the hysteria back a the end of the 20th century. What has been found is disturbing. I cannot link to the post directly at Ice […]

Some must reads (here and here) on how we got into the current financial mess, and why many of the proposals – while tough medicine\ – are probably needed. Like most problems the cure can be as bad as the illness. But to do nothing and let our economy crash is wrong – plain and […]

To coin a phrase, when Obama said “the gloves were coming off” he clearly meant that the dirty tricks ‘sock puppets’ (people who pretend to be other than they are on blogs and websites in order to post fake and fradulent information) were going on. And he and his campaign just got caught with their […]

  Major Update – I was wrong, Obama holding at +4.  My timing could be off, but I doubt it.  Cheers, AJStrata Gallup showed a resurgent Obama over the past few days shooting out to a 6 point lead on Saturday, 50-44%. Yesterday, though, that lead dropped two points (or 30%). All during this period […]

OK this is the biggest poll shocker I have seen since the Palin selection for VP: Since picking Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain has obliterated what had been a 34-percentage-point deficit in a poll of likely women voters on the question of which candidate has a “better understanding of women and what is important” to them. […]

Just got a call from LJStrata who just heard about Rangel’s comment that Governor Palin is ‘disabled‘. First off, LJStrata has a life, unlike me the political junky and blog-hog. She spends her time raising the kids, doing the company back room work, volunteering for the community, keeping the home together. She is actually an […]

To over use a Jeff Foxworthy phrase, but “I are one”. Too many urbanites think being out in the country is akin to being down a few IQ points. Funny thing is (especially here in the south) those country drawls you here are a great IQ filter in themselves. Anyone who thinks a slow southern […]

Sadly, partisan politics poisoned a non-partisan rally against the trip to the UN (and US) by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Hillarty Clinton brought politics into the event when she bowed out on the new Sarah Palin was aligned with all the other sane people against Iran and its violent intentions. Then the DNC threatened the event financially – […]
