Yesterday was positively historic, make no question. And enough words will already have been written on how great this election outcome is by the time I hit “Publish” on this sure-to-be-overlooked-by-the-Pulitzer-committee piece, that I’m not going to waste time waxing eloquent on Obama’s win.
But I have some things I want to get off my chest.
First [...]
For some reason, the McCain campaign is trying to paint Obama as elitist and out of touch.
So, there’s a certain irony that, when recently asked how many homes he owned, McCain couldn’t answer. He didn’t know how many homes he owned.
Smartly, the Obama campaign is capitalizing on this.
However, given the recent response to any [...]
This is long, but worth reading/watching.
I can’t say how angry this administration makes me. The outright lies are bad enough. That there’s a large base of gullible people who lap it up is even worse. And, worst of all, is that nobody in the mainstream media except Olbermann seems to be calling [...]
The image above comes from CNN’s Election Center as of this morning. I’m just amused at it right now.

This is an issue I have an unflappable stance on. Once upon a time in this country, this same debate was [...]
I wrote an article, posted to thisisby.us. I’ve been posting stuff over there that I also submit to reddit, in an attempt to not bomb my site with traffic. Feel free to read and comment (there or here).
And, hey, thanks for reading this tripe that I pump out — really, it warms my [...]
Obviously, I’ve never voted in a presidential election before. I’ve been in the US for 3 presidential elections, however. The first, 1996, when very much the way I wanted it to go. The second two didn’t have the person I favored winding up in the White House, but as I read through [...]
This story goes over how our current president and exalted leader will be a high value terrorist target, and thus will require the protection of over 100 security guards for the 10 years following his leaving office.
