Clinton’s Win Scenario

Friday, March 21st, 2008

As a follow-up on my post from the other day, I looked a bit more closely at some state polling, and filled out the CNN delegate counter based on what I could find. Where I couldn’t find any polling, I kept it more or less tied, with a slight advantage to the winner in […]

Obama’s Pastor Problem

Friday, March 21st, 2008

There’s another controversial quotation that’s been floating around, from a different black pastor whom Barack Obama has named as an inspiration and personal hero:
God didn’t call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war, and we are criminals in that war. We’ve committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world, and I’m […]

And your racist friend
–They Might Be Giants: Your Racist Friend
Apparently Hillary Clinton isn’t a big TMBG fan, otherwise she’d have known better than to be so closely associated with […]

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

With as much bitching and moaning as you hear about gas prices these days, it’s refreshing to see a price comparison versus other liquids most of us buy. A gallon of gas is still a good bit cheaper than milk, for instance. “But still,” you might say, “I don’t use 10 gallons of […]
