John McCain is Out of His Mind
by By Paul Begala from CNN
John McCain needs what Kinky Friedman calls “a checkup from the neck up.”
In choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate, he is not thinking “outside the box,” as some have said. More like out of his mind.
Palin a first-term governor of a state with more reindeer than [...]
Too much whining ruined whatever points Hillary Clinton scored
I read this great Op/Ed piece in the New York Daily News by Michael Goodwin about Hillary’s whining and how it’s hurting her campaign, especially in the last debate on Tuesday. She starts out by whining, then tries to make a joke, taking a stab at Obama, and watches it fall flat. Here’s [...]
Why I Will Not Vote if Clinton Wins
