Dawgs, dogs, and bitches
Lucky for me, I personally know very few people who are voting for the Palin/Joe the Plumber/McCain ticket. But I do know a handful and here’s my snapshot of the three-headed Cerberus base:
Buddies and pals
Am I the only one who thinks it’s odd that McCain says that he and his campaign never met or talked with Joe (so-called) the Plumber (so-called), but yet in his debate with Obama McCain referred to Joe as “my buddy”? I guess his “buddy” was someone he had never met and only seen on […]
Tolerating Discrimination
In last Thursday night’s Vice Presidential debate, Joe Biden and Sarah Palin clarified their joint opposition to gay marriage. Biden said it’s “only fair”to support the civil rights of same-sex couples, and Palen said she’s “tolerant” of gay couples; but neither one of them wants to see same-sex couples getting married in any traditional sense. […]
My paradox with Palin
Sarah Palin’s not exactly the kind of woman I see myself hangin’ with. Oh, I’m not deaf, dumb, and blind to the appeal Palin has for some people; I get that she’s attractive, accomplished, and, up until recently, quite ballsy. It’s just that I can’t relate to a woman who seems to have so little […]
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 […]
McCain Blinks
John McCain wants to suspend his campaign and delay his first debate with Barack Obama. Why? He says it’s because he wants to run along to Washington and solve the problem he apparently thinks the rest of the government can’t do without his extraordinarily astute, 24/7, economic insight. Um, this is the same guy who […]
Absolutely … nuts
When asked tonight on 60 Minutes if Sarah Palin was really ready to be President — not Vice President — but President — McCain said, “Absolutely.” Then he added for emphasis, “Absolutely, absolutely.” So, what is she, triply ready, there, Mac? Palin’s not even half ready. McCain knows that. The American people know that. Palin […]
Decency at the doorstop
It’s getting awfully hard to slog through the daily slop of so-called news surrounding Palin, McCain, and Obama and Biden. Today’s the first day I’ve felt campaign fatigue. Maybe that’s the cause of this dour column where today I ask the essential question of our country’s existence: At long last, America, have we no sense […]
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 […]
McCain was right about one thing …
I’m getting complaints about how much emphasis I’m putting in this column on the presidential election and the candidates and their running mates. I don’t actually enjoy writing about politics and all this deadly serious stuff every single day. I’m a woman who loves to write about cats and birds, the beautiful nature of Sarasota, […]
