My soul, once hardened and foul, like the crust on dirty dishes, has been soaked (in democracy), scrubbed (with voting) and it sitting ready in the drying rack of my heart.
Yes, I did miss writing impenetrable metaphors.
Now that we Americans can once again claim that we value our ideals, our country and the rest of [...]

West Virigina votes today. It’s interesting to see how this has all been shaping up lately. Each of the candidates trying hard to connect with the hard working types of the midwest…ish..ness.
First, Obama picks up a masculine centric game that doesn’t end in embarassment. Pool.
By the way I’ve tried that behind-the-back shot several times. I’ve [...]

Clinton wins…with 0% reporting. Okay.

On last night’s Idol, Kristy Lee Cook took her “simple hick girl” thing a little too far. That’s right. She sang “God Bless the USA.” I just want to remind our readers that this was, in fact, the same song that my entire elementary school sang together – along to the tape, of course – [...]

Ann Coulter is a bitch. This is a statement as absolute as “water is wet” or “Brooklyn is rad.” One of her books, Slander: Liberal Lies about the American Right, sits on my night stand. I read it from time to time, most often only for a chapter, until I get so pissed off that [...]

I will admit my interest in politics, especially here on the blog, is not based on the need to know what’s going on in my government. Basically it’s just reveling in the soap-opera of it all.
And luckily Alberto Gonzales keeps on giving. The best part of his hearing on Thursday was his terse exchange with [...]
