McCain/Palin Play With Fire as They Work to Divide the Country

October 11, 2008

Dirty politics and nasty ads are nothing new to the presidential campaign season. However, the McCain-Palin ticket has lowered it to an art form. Seriously, when was the last time you heard either of them say something about a substantive issue?
Perhaps, I am more dismayed by McCain’s campaign than I thought [...]

What Do McCain and the Dow Have in Common? Crash?

October 10, 2008

John McCain’s campaign has celebrated more resurrections than Jesus Christ. But, it seems the days of rising from the dead are over, at least for the McCain/Palin ticket.
If John McCain’s presidential campaign has succeeded in doing anything it has become abundantly successful in exemplifying his personal history of bad judgment, negligence, and [...]

Bill Ayers is More Important than the Economy?

October 10, 2008

The stock market was down more than 500 points before 9:30 a.m. One ABC reporter announced that the 20% loss this week was the definition of a stock market crash.

The Elephant in Tennessee Stumbled Tonight!

October 7, 2008

Okay, so it’s late and I am in Tennessee, probably one of the only states in the nation that would vote for a Republican presidential candidate if it was an elephant. I dare not suggest that Tennessee will do anything other than that in the election that is only 28 days away.
However, a poll [...]

There are many of us who remember the Keating 5, the Resolution Trust Corporation, and another interesting player in that scandal… Neil Bush, son of Bush 41 and brother of Bush [...]

McCain/Palin Looking Under the Bed for Obama’s Dust Bunnies

October 6, 2008

Well, for one, I have started wearing a mask when I leave the house, much like the Chinese during the SARS scare. The Republicans have given up on the issues. Instead, they are beating the rugs like my grandmother used to do, hanging them on a clothes line in the back yard and [...]

For All the Maneuvering, Last Night’s Debate Could Cost McCain the Election

September 27, 2008

For all the maneuvering the Mccain campaign did this week, he could have lost the Presidential election by attending the debate last night.
McCain did well during the debate, but that isn’t the point. There was nothing new that I heard during the debate from either candidate. Again, that isn’t the point.
This [...]

John McCain Engages Mouth Before Engaging Brain, Again

September 23, 2008

John McCain, only a few days ago, spouted from the podium that he would fire Chris Cox, Chairman of the SEC. That was his initial reaction to the economic conundrum. Perhaps Phil Gramm told him that he could not, even if he were President. So, a day or so later McCain said [...]

Lehman Brothers On the Street, AIG in the Bed

September 17, 2008

It’s been a rough week and it isn’t even over. So, the question remains what is going on in the financial world?
All weekend it was reported that the Fed and Treasury leaders were meeting with or on the phone with Lehman Brothers and possible buyers. Apparently, it was a case of mental masturbation [...]
