High Flight John Gillespie Magee, Jr. Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things You… Read More ›

McCain will continue as CNN fixture
Was it only two days ago when I got so annoyed at seeing John McCain on CNN — again? Yes, I turned off his ravings and accusations against Jay Carney, but I also dashed off a note to CNN about how… Read More ›
McCain and Palin together again
“It” came from Wasilla and strutted into Arizona today to boost Sen. John McCain’s sagging re-election bid. Seriously, he didn’t learn his lesson in November? He still thinks Sarah Palin can be an asset? If he had an ounce of… Read More ›
McCaaaaain, you did this!
I was shocked and deeply disappointed when John McCain named Sarah Palin as his GOP running mate back in 2008. Since then, I’ve just been getting angrier and angrier. He created and loosed upon us the creature that has haunted… Read More ›
I don’t regret voting for President Obama
Over on Real Clear Politics today, there’s an op-ed piece entitled “Why I Regret Voting for President Obama.” It’s written by freelance writer and independent voter Jill Dorson. I wonder what connections you need to call yourself a freelance writer… Read More ›
Johnny Mac and the Internet

I’m relieved that Election Day is less than 24 hours away, finally. This campaign season has been interminable and I’ve been ready for weeks for it to be over. It’s looking very good for Obama and I’m very excited about… Read More ›
Breaking my Palin promise
I’ve just about stopped reading news of the presidential campaign since, unless I’m struck deaf and blind, I’m going to be inundated with it anyway. Still, I like to peruse the headlines over at Real Clear Politics just to get… Read More ›
Powell endorses Obama and what America can be
On NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for president. The endorsement alone was enough to be worth preserving and replaying by Obama fans. More important, however, was Powell’s explanation of why he is supporting Obama:
WordPress and PollDaddy make sweet music
This is a test of WordPress’s incorporation of PollDaddy polls today: Oh, that’s so cool. It was a lot of work designing and integrating those same polls a couple of months ago. Now it’s so simple a caveman can do… Read More ›
It’s bleak Friday for McCain campaign
Yesterday was certainly an interesting day on the campaign trail, more interesting to Obama supporters than to the McCain camp. The McCain folks probably wish the whole day had never happened. John McCain had to put a lid on on… Read More ›
