Eight years ago, Al Gore gave a rousing concession speech to the American people. His intention was to unite us after a month of toil over the questionable election of 2000. With that (most) democrats were willing to accept George Bush as the 43rd President of the United States. It seems to me that today, [...]
Last Tuesday before the elections I predicted the outcomes. I am happy to report that my predictions were pretty spot on. Logically, this makes me the Nostradamus of predicting elections. I truly believe I have the same prediction power as the man who started rocking this world 450 years ago (and will again in another 450). [...]
When writers for a television show begin to run out of plot lines, they sometimes become desperate for ideas that will hold the attention of viewers. This happens to almost every show eventually. When the writers use some of these weird or contrived ideas, the show is said to have ‘jumped the shark’. The phrase [...]
With the work of one little Civil War, what began as slavery was reduced all the way down to systematic racism. Which is pretty much where we have been since the Civil War. Light a small candle in memory of those who suffered through these two stages of life in America. To those who [...]
This election has been one of the biggest elections in U.S. history. President-elect Obama managed to take Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida, as well as Virginia and even losing by a relatively small margin in Texas. One of the biggest shocks to me, though, was Nebraska’s second district. With 9,000 absentee and early votes left to [...]
Congratulations to President-Elect John McCain. He has run an honorable campaign throughout this historical election. Barack Obama was truly a horrible choice for Democratic nominee. Dennis Kucinich would have easily beaten McCain (because he has a hot wife, too). Obama is taking the loss rather poorly. Apparently he is demanding a recount in California, New [...]
11:23 CST: Kasson: Wow what a great speech by Obama. 10:56 CST: Kasson: Even better if it was Tancredo 10:32 CST: Cessna: McCain’s speech was definitely a great one. It is truly a shame that he had to be the Republican candidate in this election. I would have felt better had it been Huckabee or [...]
These are my predictions for the outcome of tonights election: Obama – 354 McCain – 184 We’ll se how I did tomorrow. My prediction for the Senate is this: Democrats – 56 Republicans – 42 Independents – 2 (siding with Democrats) And for the house: Democrats – 261 Republicans – 174
The American political spectrum is an endless pendulum, steadily swinging back and forth from left to right, and back again. The swings usually follow a few election cycles. Why ‘only’ a few election cycles? Hubris. You get in office, your party takes control. You get re-elected a few times and you begin to think YOU [...]
