By Wink In our July 28 column we discussed GOP efforts to eliminate voters on a nationwide basis. To pass laws restricting voters, they drummed up the following phony message: Fraud, fraud, fraud. So where is the fraud? Ohio is one of the states that passed a new, more restrictive law as to who can [...]
Tonight we are live-blogging the election results (“how boring” you say). We are going to keep a lighthearted look at these returns and keep it fun, while still providing information. If you want serious, there are about 5000 other sources you can look to. The blogging will start to ramp up at 7 p.m. Central [...]
By Wink What do ruthless dictators and theocrats fear the most? Guns? Nope. They fear an educated citizenry, and they fear the ballot box. A few decades back Iran was overthrown by religious zealots, and they still run it today. They are not good at paperwork, or dealing with foreign dignitaries, so they installed a [...]
I would like to give a message to all voters in the country. Many are upset over the outcome of the election, which is certainly understandable. It was an upset to about 47% of all voters. I sympathize with you on that regard. However, I hold no sympathy for anybody who does not stand by [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
We have photographic proof that FDR met with Stalin and Nixon met with Mao. Two murderous communists! Good thing that both FDR & Nixon are dead, or we would feel obligated to destroy their reputations. J Edgar Hoover called Martin Luther King a “terrorist”. All other details being identical, how close would this presidential race [...]
