I wrote yesterday that I was deeply troubled by several blog entries I’d read.  These blog entries, by people who happen to oppose Barack Obama for president (although we do have other things in common), contain a number of mistakes and misconceptions about Obama’s tax policy.  The authors are spreading a fear that Obama will [...]

But maybe not in the way you think.
You see, I don’t think there are people out there just itching to vote multiple times to swing the election.  And I think that if they are, they’ll have a hard time doing it.  The systems and laws we have in place actually work.  Salon’s Andrew Burmon recently [...]

You’ve heard about swing voters — those who might still change their minds on whether to vote for Obama or McCain.  Many people think they’re mythical.  I mean, how do you not know yet, after more than a year of campaigning?
I’ve actually met one.  I stopped at a convenience store for a drink, and the [...]

I’m definitely not a McCain-Palin supporter.  But I think this is extremely rude.  They’ve closed comments on the post, so I can’t say so there.

I’m not convinced that a change in presidential leadership will bring about real change.  [...]

Normally, thinking about James Dobson makes me want to throw up.  In fact, I kind of hate putting him in my blog!  But in this case, I think I agree with him.  They’re human.  Bristol Palin got pregnant.  She, her family, and her boyfriend are doing what they believe is right.  That’s not hypocritical, although [...]

The timer is ringing for dinner! I gotta run. But please go watch this video:

So, Bush and McCain want to end the so-called ban on offshore oil drilling, in the name of lower gas prices and lessening our dependence on foreign oil.  There’s at least one problem with that idea, though.
They’re lying to you — or at least misleading you.
There’s plenty of offshore drilling going on. Seen Armageddon? [...]
