2008: January to November 4th

I know it’s way too early to be thinking about New Year’s so I’m not going to look to 2009 yet.  I will, however, take a relatively brief look back on the emotions of the year.  That’s what I have to do in order to move past it. Forgiveness is not a personal tenet of [...]

PUMAs don’t mind waiting

We waited a lifetime for Hillary. We can wait four years to get rid of this guy.
This is an early morning thread. Say what ya wanna say and prepare for trolls because there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m sleeping it off.

Through the Night (The Torch-Bearer Just Keeps Going)

They will say Barack Obama is the JFK of our generation.  But we’ll know better because we have already seen what a man like JFK can do.  And this man that they gift with his name is no JFK.
He doesn’t have the courage of his convictions-even late, when the damage is done and the jail [...]

I didn’t want ‘im, I didn’t vote for ‘im, but there he is

So, what’s next?

I Guess I Just Wasn’t Looking: A Voting Strategy In Hindsight

Like many of the directives handed down this campaign age (because it’s been too damned long to be just a year), I missed that memo that we should take the time to write about our voting strategies. Yes, I thought it was interesting to see such a consistent thread of thoughts from several different people, [...]

Something Tells Me I’d Better Get Used To Exile

Note: To the late-nighters. This makes absolutely no sense, I know. I just wrote it. Feel free to ignore it.
I had the funny experience tonight of being locked out of a post. It wasn’t intentional and I have no reason to believe anything other than crappy Vista is at fault but for the 45 minutes [...]

Always the “Better Woman”

(This is an old post that I never got around to putting up here. It’ll give the over-nighters a place to talk. Good night, Conflucians!–Regencyg)
All primary season long, I’ve heard a particular saying—or at least, a particular inference—repeated doggedly and it’s begun to irk me a bit.
“You must be the better woman.”
“Hillary has to be [...]

The Big “D” Democrat

I have been a Democrat all my life. I admit that life is only 18 years old, but you have to admit these last two decades have been a couple for the record books. I’ve lived to see an illegitimate president run the country right into the ground as he cleared brush from [...]

La Vie Boheme

If you’re gonna be a deadender, might as well burst into song.

See PUMA getting to do it–on television below the fold.

From a Broad to a Dame

There’s a point when a broad becomes a dame—and Hillary Clinton has just earned her shoulder pads.
She’d been anointed a broad some time ago by circumstances. She was fighting with the boys on their turf—the Presidency. She dug in her pumps and rolled up her sleeves to expose a designer watch and a [...]
