I’ve tried to maintain some restraint when it come to Cindy McCain, but in the spirit of Halloween, I have to admit: she scares me. Really scares me.
I don’t know what it is - those gashing blue eyes, the vampire-bitch-vibe — whatever, it just gives me the willys. I know I’m not the [...]

I have to admit he’s a card: I’m talking about California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who today was busy trying pump up the flailing McCain campaign in Ohio. He cracked jokes, and made a few decent observations:
“He [Obama] needs to do something about those skinny legs,”
Ha, Ha, True True. But from [...]

I love Morris’ films, and this isn’t a bad spot, but I’m not sure how effective it [...]

As usual, the GOP is trying to whip up our dander, comparing Obama with everyone from Karl Marx to Mao to - yes, even Jim Jones.  They are warning us not to drink the kool aid, or we’ll all be doomed.

Not that anybody’s  listening to what he has to say anymore…but…
When Karl Rove & Co. can’t spin you, or won’t spin you, to a GOP victory scenario - things must be dire.  And indeed, dire they are.
