Okay, whether you believe or not that the NYT and CBS are stumping for Kerry my cable box tells me the strangest thing .. a marathon of That's My Bush! on Comedy Central. No one watched the original run so "marathon" is shorthand for "the four hours they Full Text

Elections and sports finals always bring out the people who "know" X will win because if the sky is blue on an odd numbered tuesday the guy with a Y in his last name will win. I hate these things even when they point to my guy winning. The time and spa Full Text

I've become a big fan of Cox & Forkum over the past half-year or so. The 'toons are witty and incisive, and they have a perspective that isn't common in the world of political cartoons.
Also, their usage policy exhibits a surprising amount of comm Full Text

My friend working on the campaign in PA always has some good scoop:
When Cheney mentioned Spector (present at event) today in Nazareth, Booed again. People are talking about it everywhere.

At the recent memorial service for my Uncle (unfortunate but not unexpected) in an Episcopalian church in NJ I was blinky over seeing Lift Every Voice and Sing: An African American Hymnal. Complete with African tri-color cover. I only had time to read t Full Text
ECUSA pulls eucharist for the Divine Feminine

It looks like the Episcopal Church noticed their web site stats jumped a bit. The Women's Ministries department had a trial Eucharist called "A Women's Eucharist: A Celebration of the Divine Feminine" up on their website, designed to "spark dialogue, stud Full Text

I ran around the corner to my barometer of NE local sentiment, the Powderhouse Pub, as the last out of the World Series passed. Enthusiastic but not apocalyptic cheering with mixed hugging. Followed immediately by a chant of "Yankees Suck." Why not? wi Full Text

The title is misleading, that is just what I read when I see Michael Badnarik's name. I voted for Harry Browne in 2000 so take it as a name thing and not a hater thing.
I was privy to seeing his campaign ad on FNC today. It reminded me fondly of the vi Full Text

This is inexcusable

What is inexcusable? a picture of a dead girl lying on the sidewalk on the front page (or any page) of a newspaper. Double "going straight to hell" points for putting the picture directly under the headline "GO SOX!"

Ann Coulter was the target of a knock off cream pie attack (not the guy that does it full time). The Smoking Gun is there. I'm not sure why the guys are covered up like the Dalton Boys. To add insult to, err, insult Ann Coulter ran like a girl (hands f Full Text

I'm always amazed at how popular the Sox are in New England, and how rabid their many fans are. Everyone at work was talking about the team and their historic win over the hated Yankees. Even the ladies(both of them) were discussing details from the gam Full Text

John Kerry went hunting today in the swing state of Ohio. Best soundbite by far comes from Dick Cheney : "October Disguise"

I spent last weekend in PA (for a funeral, unfortunately) but spending a weekend in a swing state was enlightening. Half the local TV spots were campaign ads. Yard signs grew like weeds.
