What does a vice-president do, anyways?

Sarah Palin has no clue. Here’s some raw footage from an interview she did with Larry Kudlow a few months ago. Here’s a longer version of the interview as it was aired on CNBC in July 2008. Elsewhere in the news, Sarah’s mother-in-law, Faye Palin commented. “I’m not sure what she brings to the ticket [...]

An even better quote of the day regarding Palin

I really love this quote from Sarah Palin regarding Barack Obama in the recent New Yorker: Before she was running against him, Sarah Palin—the governor of Alaska and now the Republican candidate for Vice-President of the United States—thought it was pretty neat that Barack Obama was edging ahead of John McCain in her usually solidly [...]

OK, then… here’s what you need to know about McCain’s choice for vice president…. First, [...]

Denver, semi-instant karma, Republicans and New Orleans

I love what was in Barack Oblogger on Thursday. Focus on the Family prayed for “rain of biblical proportions” to come down during Barack’s speech tonight at Invesco. But the skies here are clear, sunny, and blue. Instead we have the strong possibility of another Gulf Coast hurricane during the Republican convention. Karma’s a bitch, [...]

Thoughts after the Big Speech

I enjoyed the big speech by Obama tonight, but after seeing so many other great speeches by the man, I was hoping for something as dynamic as his 2004 speech, which was concise, powerful, and absolutely unforgettable. Coming on the anniversary of the infamous speech by Martin Luther King Jr., it was hard to live [...]
