Last night of being Bush-wacked!
I couldn’t stay home tonight, on this last night of being Bush-wacked for eight long years, so I put on my Obama earrings and headed out on the town. I was running around Sarasota like a crazy woman asking people to tell me how they felt about their last night of being Bush-wacked and/or what […]
The eve of inebriation … um … inauguration
Okay, I admit it. I officially cannot work because I’m too excited about tomorrow. I know, I know. The world isn’t going to magically right itself tomorrow just because Obama is sworn in as President. In fact, I think if change comes to this country, Obama will be our leader, yes, but not the doer. […]
Of hope and hoops — my letter to Barack
What I want from you, Barack, as my president, is not so terribly different from what I’d want from any man, really. I want a decent man. One who is measured and calm. One who can inspire and uplift. One who keeps his word. A man who knows how to work up a sweat, shoot […]
McCain/Palin supporters’ idea of trick or treat
Last night I woke to the sound of someone in my yard. By the time I threw on some clothes and ran outside they were gone … but here’s what they left behind (and no McCain/Palin signs on my street — of which there are four — were touched):
… “a larger number of voters get more money under Obama …”

Will Sarah now accuse Powell of being pals with the pal of a terrorist?
I don’t know how much longer Sarah Palin and John McCain will be able to keep spouting their obsessive, delusional, and purposefully misleading rhetoric about Obama, pals, and terrorists. I imagine they’ll muffle that message beginning yesterday, at least if they’re even slightly capable of thinking rationally at this point. Listen to — or read […]
Got guts?
Basically, I think the world boils down to two kinds of people: the kind who have guts and the kind who don’t. I’m talking the visceral down and dirty kind of guts it takes to look down the barrel of life and choose to say what you mean and live what you say. It’s a […]
Fighting on the home front
In my yard stands an Obama for President sign. Plastered on my back car bumper is an Obama ‘08 sticker. Yes, I feel he would be the better President for our country in the challenging years to come. But if he doesn’t win, I won’t blame Republicans. Well, sure, I’ll blame Republicans and Democrats alike […]
A dog in the fight
Sarah, I’m a ballsy chick, but I’m no pit bull (maybe more of a Boston Terrier). I don’t care for hockey (just a tad violent for my tastes), and I don’t wear lipstick (I’m a gloss gal myself). But just ‘cause I wouldn’t self-identify with a pit bull, doesn’t mean I’m not willing to jump […]
The straight dope …
I’ve heard from a lot of you via email and postings that you think I’m “on Palin’s side because she’s a woman” — or I’ve “finally come to my senses” — citing last night’s Palin Pulled No Punches column as evidence for both POVs. Um, did you guys (only men have said either of these […]
