Mission accomplished
September 3, 2008

As the Republicans meet in Minnesota this week to nominate John McCain for president and someone nobody (including himself, it would seem) had heard of until last week for vice-president, I was reminded of an article from The Onion dated January 17, 2001, just prior to Bush’s inauguration.

Speeches

I was planning a post-Olympic post earlier this week, but just haven’t gotten around to it. Thrilled, of course, to see the US Basketball team win gold, and thrilled for Coach K as well. And the story of the U.S. Men’s Volleyball team’s gold after the tragedy in the coach’s family was a [...]

Last to die
October 30, 2007

John Kerry, testimony before congress, April 23, 1971:
We are asking Americans to think about that because how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?

The non-issues
October 11, 2007

Lewis Black’s “Back In Black” segments on The Daily Show are usually both humorous and on the mark. I particularly enjoyed this week’s segment where he discusses the propensity that U.S. politicians have for focusing on unimportant and/or meaningless issues.
