Who’s Your Buddy?

It’s getting harder and harder to figure out what the candidates think should be the direction of our country lately. We’re in the midst of a financial meltdown, the likes of which most haven’t experience in their lifetime and all that anyone seems to care about is who has been hanging out with whom.
Obama and [...]

McCain Mishaps

I wrote extensively last month about John McCain’s less than stellar flying record in the Navy which included 2 non-combat related crashes and one near crash. The L.A. Times delves a bit deeper into a couple these mishaps and fills in some of the blanks as to the causes.
In 1960 he crashed into Corpus Christi [...]

What’s Wrong With This Picture

While McCain ramps up his campaign of smears towards Obama, yesterday in New Mexico, our markets tumble. There is no better example of that than the picture below which shows the market ticker while McCain continues his hitting on the tenuous Ayers/Obama association.

Why would one example of this be a big deal? Well if you [...]

Just Call Him Evel

Just like Evel Knievel, it looks like John McCain hasn’t found a stunt that he didn’t like.
Getting trashed in the polls? Just pick an unqualified Dick Cheney in a dress. Got a debate that you are worried about? Tell everyone you are suspending your campaign to help the country out of financial ruin and after [...]

The game tagged #McCainshot is a drinking game in [...]

Back To The Future

Man is McCain good. The debate isn’t for hours and he has already won.

Did I Miss Something?

John McCain, has decided to attend the debate after all and he is now claiming that there has been “significant progress” in the mortgage meltdown mess. Pretty neat trick Senator considering that you managed to derail a done deal when you submitted a last minute proposal. A proposal that would help your corporate buddies and [...]

McCain Suspends Campaign

Does anyone else sense some serious politicking at work here? A Senator whom has pretty much blown off every Senate vote in recent memory and has freely admitted that economics isn’t his best subject, suddenly feels the need to drop everything and head to Washington to work on the mortgage meltdown.
Oh and did I mention [...]

Detour On The Straight Talk Express

John McCain’s shielding of his not ready for prime time VP nominee came to a head today when the networks threatened to ignore Sarah Palin’s meetings with world leaders in NY unless they were given more than just the standard photo opportunities.
Today, the McCain campaign had said it would allow only one editorial person inside. [...]
