My Offcenter friend Drew posted a very thoughtful commentary on Sen. McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as his VP candidate. His first point refers to the “Clinton question.” He writes:
Palin has already been called out that she was chosen to compete for the Hilary Clinton cohort. Bloomberg quotes her saying, “‘Hillary left [...]

Broncos Fans…Another reason to vote for Obama!!!!

As if I needed another reason to vote for Obama…He came out after Sen. Biden’s terrific acceptance speech and began to talk about how the convention has gone.  Sen.

Five Albums on a Desert Island…

My buddy Drew posted this earlier today and it got me thinking a bit about what albums I’d bring along.  Of course, this is all a moot point since taking 5 albums along would be bigger than taking my ipod along, but that’s beside the point.  I guess the five that I would bring along [...]

I wonder if his handlers are pulling their hair out…

This is a magical piece of video from John McCain recently on Fox News.  In talking about the violence between Russia and Georgia, he says, “In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.”  Here’s the video…

Last time I checked, the invasion of Iraq happened during the 21st century.  Last time I checked, John McCain [...]
