Sam’s Town and The Obama Campaign

19Mar10

It’s a weird premise, I know. And I know I’m one of the few people who persistently defends the Killers’ sophomore effort. I read a criticism somewhere that someone had said that the album was something along the lines of “an HBO miniseries on the Dust Bowl starring the cast of Gossip Girl.” And that’s [...]

Ouch…

13Aug08

Truth hurts. I fear the worst about Hillary’s intentions for the DNC, but damn, I’m no Maureen Dowd. She took it to a new level in today’s piece. Now if only Dowd could go 100 words without calling Obama three different nicknames…. Obama also allowed Hillary supporters to insert an absurd statement into the platform [...]

Alright, One Regret…

04Jun08

It’s clear now that Obama is the nominee, and it even seems like Clinton at least knows that internally. I never wanted to be the type of person that was a Hillary-hater before this campaign, but her actions dictated to me that I had no other choice. Still, I must say I long a bit [...]

23May08

Nomination for the stupidest thing said about Clinton’s Failure…

19May08

As noted by almost everyone but the Clinton campaign, Clinton’s nomination prospects are certainly winding down. So, thus I may begin a series on the stupidest things said about why Hillary failed. This quote may mark the first in the series, and it will be hard to beat: Cynthia Ruccia, 55, a sales director for [...]

Hey, Remember When Obama Really Wasn’t That Great?

13May08

I barely do. Honestly. While I may have become a believer in Obama, I certainly wasn’t always. While part of that is people like me coming around to him (and abandoning my tragically less electable Joe Biden, who should be the Secretary of State in the Obama administration), the other story, one that has been [...]
