Walking side-by-side down the long ramp into “the pit” at Ground Zero, Barack Obama and John McCain paid a solemn tribute to those who lost their lives seven years ago at that most hallowed site.  They were joined by Cindy McCain and New York’s Mayor Bloomberg who walked arm-in-arm as they followed behind them.
The candidates [...]

After the Saddleback forum, liberals came unglued over charges that John McCain “cheated.”
McCain did so much better than Obama; for me, that Saddleback event was the beginning of the hinge upon which this election has turned.
So we come to this second forum - the “9/11 Presidential Forum” - and we find that:
- The event was [...]

As the Politico reports, things aren’t happy in the People’s Socialist Republic of Obamaland:
“It’s more than an increased anxiety,” said Doug Schoen, who worked as one of Bill Clinton’s lead pollsters during his 1996 reelection and has worked for both Democrats and independents in recent years. “It’s a palpable frustration. Deep-seated unease in the sense [...]

Is Barack Obama so seriously unhinged that he believes he’s our Messiah and Savior?  We used to put people away for long stays in rubber rooms for thinking such.  Or are prominent Democrats the equivalent of whack-job cultists who think the spaceship is right behind the asteroid and to get the cyanide-laced Kool-Aid out?
We do [...]

I suppose we’ve finally got the properly sarcastic retort to the now very tired Democratic charge that John McCain doesn’t know how many houses he owns:  “John McCain doesn’t actually own ANY houses,  thank you; and at least his wife, who does own them, pays taxes on them.  And she’s not even the Chairman of [...]

While Sarah Palin is out demonstrating why her selection as Vice President was a stroke of political genius, Joe Biden was apparently out explaining how he may not be the best, well, man for the job after all:
“Make no mistake about this,” Biden responded. “Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am [...]

Back in 1998, incumbent  Republican Senator Senator Al D’Amato was in a tough reelection battle against Charles Schumer. Various transgressions against ethics guidelines, while not criminal provided Schumer with a lot of talking points. D’Amato had however amassed a long list of favours to constituents. In a previous election, he had been derisively given the [...]

“I have been instructed by Obama campaign officials to categorically state that I am not intended to represent Sarah Palin in any way.  My name is Tarah Malin, NOT Sarah Palin.  Any association with Sarah Palin is purely unintentional.”

Having a bit of an IT problem, I found myself searching through the detailed records of visitors to the site. I saw who they were, where they came from, what they clicked on, etc. And then I found the most overworked Internet bot in history. A little ‘can do’ bot from MSNBC that was [...]

From a McCain Democrat’s Journal, September 11, 2008.
In this most successful of republican-democratic societies, it is ironic that the collective “wisdom” of those who govern America can be so wrong and so short-sighted as what we see, once again, in Washington, D.C.  There, the consensus in Congress is that we must exit Iraq, [...]

As an Expat: Remembering 9/11
I hate this day. I hate what happened today. Maybe being so far away makes it worse or makes me feel different than I would if I were still in America. Being what feels like the only American on 9/11 enhances the sense of isolation which in turn enhances the melancholy [...]
