In Event of a Tie or No Winner

No big info here, I am sure many, if not most or all, of you out there are aware of this: If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the president from the 3 presidential candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each State receiving one vote. The Senate […]

He Mo, Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo

Maureen Dowd is at it again. Or continuing. Depending how often you can take reading her literary disasters. Every once in a while, she stops pretending she is Shakespeare’s ghost, and comes out with something slightly readable. But still laughable. First Dick Cheney said that supporting John Kerry could lead to another terrorist attack. Then […]

Todays Quote

“American liberals are making the same mistake in the war on terror that they made during the Cold War. They trust anti-American voices around the world more than they trust the American people. They believe that our responsibilities can be shoved onto the backs of other countries that will not help us. (Although even Kerry […]

She’s a Lesbian: Not an Issue

But President Bush also made one of the most egregiously revealing verbal errors of the three debates when he spoke in the second one, again referring to the draft, about “talk on the Internets” that a draft was […]

Kerry and Our Allies

Bloviator extraordinaire John Kerry (he’s a Senator, ya know), has been working overtime to lose allies. If he is elected, will there be any left? From Japan (courtesy Captain Ed): The comments come a day after Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi made remarks that appeared to suggest he would prefer to see Bush win the Nov. […]

Talking with Liberals

Fellow Carolinian (the good Carolina :)) Ogre has a nice post on talking with Liberals. Check it out here. As time moves forward, the Republicans and Democrats are moving in radically different directions in many areas. I’m not talking about elected moderates, but of the party faithful. Republicans are getting more conservative, and Democrats are […]

I have to root for he Skins?

God help me, I have to root for the Redskins to beat the Packers on Halloween: Claim: The outcome of Washington Redskins football games has correctly predicted the winner of every U.S. presidential election since 1936.
