And Now For The Ugly »

As promised, here is the Ugly part of “The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.” And it is ugly. Disturbing, actually. In all honesty, I was dismayed to see what some in the GLBT community are now doing. But I am getting ahead of myself. The article I read was this one, “Next Time, They [...]

The DNC Pops Its Hood Ornament »

Whoopsie—The Democratic National Committee’s hood ornament got ..er..unscrewed and bounced into the street. Of course, it was loosened up a long while back when the DNC moved itself mostly to Chicago two months before the Democratic Convention. That right there tells you a lot about the DNC. (I think the “D” should be removed—it doesn’t [...]

Palin In The Aftermath »

I have been ruminating on this issue for the last couple of days. I knew it was coming, but I wanted to see just how it played out. The attacks on Sarah Palin are horrendously sexist and wholly unfair. The media is making it seem as if the Republican party is eating her alive and [...]

“Just Call Us Cleopatra” »

“We’re the Queens of Denial!” That could be the new US slogan – we don’t want to hear any more about voter fraud. We don’t want to know that Obama supporters voted in droves – more than once. We don’t want to find out what the culprits are, much less prosecute them. We don’t want [...]

“Judging A Man…” »

“Not by the color of his skin, but by the content of (his) character…” To paraphrase the famous words of The Rev.Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his, “I Have A Dream” speech. Alas, his words came true on November 4th, 2008: a man was judged by the color of his skin, and not the [...]

1.2 Million Cubans in Miami Support John McCain and this Hillary Clinton Supporter Does, Too »

I just returned from working in Miami Dade as the coordinator for Citizens for McCain. As a former Hillary Clinton supporter who volunteered for her all over the country, to many, I know it can seem like a stretch to have crossed over to the other side. But as I reviewed the history of the [...]

Will Floridians Like Obama “Spreading The Wealth?” »

The “Joe The Plumber” incident keeps growing legs, as well it should. Florida polls are reporting a slight uptick for McCain and a downturn of several points for Obama. As the race tightens, McCain’s economic message seems to be hitting home and Senator Obama’s rare unscripted moment continues to haunt him. His blunder gave voters [...]

Alcee Hastings loses his right to call others bigoted »

Remember Alcee Hastings? He’s a US Representative from FL who was impeached when a federal judge and subsequently voted into Congress (HOW does that happen?). Need a reminder? During a trial for bribery and perjury, Hastings was acquitted after a co-conspirator refused to testify. From Wikipedia: In 1988, the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives took [...]

It’s Not the Economy, It’s the Arrogance »

In Monday’s Washington Post, Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, is quoted as saying, “I think one of the things driving the national polls is that the red states are redder.” Is Axelrod right? Could it be McCain has energized his base but that Obama remains ahead? Using Electoral-Vote.com’s numbers, I created a list of red [...]

Obama, Florida, Disenfranchisement and Quicksand »

If Obama’s fall in poll after poll is one we liken to an erosion, we are obliged to describe the following situation in Florida as Obama’s vain attempt to plug a patch of quicksand with bags of Rezko cash. I quote the St. Petersburg Times
