Poking Fun

Almost 6 months after Obama appeared in the Halloween edition of Saturday Night Live (SNL) Hillary made a stop on the set and met face to face with her twin played by Amy Poehler. Clinton was on in response to two sketches the troupe has done now based on some of the more recent debates [...]

Vote for the FairTax

Tomorrow is Super. No, really, in addition to being Mardi Gras, its a super Tuesday tomorrow as 20 states take to the ballot boxes to help choose the next president and while both parties think they have their chosen ones pretty much chosen (Obama and Mccain), I’m here to urge you to take a different [...]

As the polls go

Next up in the race to be the next leader of the Not So Free World is Michigan. The polls opened in MI today to a somewhat limited Democratic side (the DNC is punishing MI for moving their primary by taking all of their delegates away) with only Clinton listed on the ballot there while [...]

A winning pair!

I’ve found the pres/vp combo that I’d vote for in heartbeat if only it would happen in real life. Mike Huckabee (the GOP candidate who currently has my support) was on The Colbert Report again last night and he reaffirmed his plan to make Steven his VP if he gets the nomination. While I’m sure [...]

And they’re off!!

12:01 am on January 8th, 2007, New Hampshire was the first state to hold an official Primary in the presidential season. Sure, Iowa had their caucuses last week, but come on, standing in a corner is hardly the way to pick the future president of the country is it? New Hampshire is generally the first [...]

What a night!!

On the side of the donkey we have two senators (dodd and biden) dropping out of the race as Obama edges past Edwards and Clinton for the Iowa delegates. Whats surprising is that Edwards beat out Hillary Clinton for second. The talking [...]

Whats all the Caucus about?

They don’t send out kids party invitations to people in either party reminding them about the Caucuses on January 3rd, people just know about them. If you’ve turned on a radio, tv or picked up a paper today then chances are fairly good you know about them as well. The opening of the political voting [...]

Your Average Joe

Apparently, people like Mike because he looks like your average medical supplies salesman from the midwest (I don’t know if there are a lot of Med Supplies salesmen there, it just seems like something they’d have in the midwest, doesn’t it?). He took the opportunity over the holiday weekend to go pheasant hunting. Apparently the [...]

Flyin Solo

I mentioned in a post earlier in the week how Bill Clinton said that his wife, if elected president would send him and Former President Bush out to the world to “smooth things over”. It appears, that may in fact, not be the case as the Current President Bush (are you almost confused yet?) had [...]

Good grief!

In a time when most candidates are releasing holiday themed ads Romney releases one where he comes to the rescue for a friend of his and Huckabee draws fire for an almost non-issue. As you can see in the image, Mike is cleverly positioned in front of a bookcase and a christmas tree in his [...]
