One time deal or a start to a series of negotiations, I am not sure I care. I am, though, rather skeptical that the Bush administration is sending the number three State Department person – William Burns – to Geneva this weekend to join other countries in sitting down with an Iranian nuclear negotiator. Is… Continue reading Iranian “Negotiations”
I am sure Minnesotans were hoping the issue of Jesse Ventura moving back into the political arena in their state would end quickly. The race in question – a US Senate race – is already the source of constant speculation as comic Al Franken has left comedy behind to run against incumbent Norm Coleman. Ventura… Continue reading Jesse Ventura and Politics … Again?
Ah, a headline like that is definitely what McCain’s campaign doesn’t need. What else can be said, though, after McCain’s own admission that he doesn’t know how to get online yet? I admit I telecommute so spend more time on a computer than a lot of people. I have had a web site since the… Continue reading John McCain and the 21st Century
While it seems that the cover of the July 21 edition of The New Yorker is causing quite a stir, I think that it will unfortunately overshadow the article about Barack Obama’s political beginnings. While reading the online fifteen pages, I am drawn to the fact that Obama has played in the dirt of Chicago politics. I… Continue reading The New Yorker Cover
… John McCain. John McCain does not speak for me. I have to say that I have been waiting for a politician to decide to tell the American people something that they need to hear and that they do not want to hear.

There has been so much made about the fist pound between Barack Obama and his wife Michelle prior to his speech on Tuesday, June 3 in St Paul, Minnesota. While this is just a pop culture move that is a great way to point out that the Obamas are considerably younger than the other candidates… Continue reading The Obama “Fist Pound”
I don’t normally watch a lot of television. I like a few shows but seldom watch movies on TV. I was intrigued by the teaser I saw about Recount – an HBO original movie. The movie starred some of my favs – Kevin Spacey to name one – and was about a timely issue –… Continue reading Recount – An HBO Movie
I turned on the television after running around this evening to see that the networks were not interrupting their evening news to cover the Obama rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but the cable news networks were running breaking news. The cable news networks were saying that John Edwards, the very same John Edwards that both… Continue reading Edwards Endorses Obama
I live in New York state. Here we are allowed to vote in school elections. The only districts exempt from these laws are those known as The Big 5 – those districts in the five largest cities in the state. I believe the Big 5 still vote for board of education members but not on… Continue reading Do you vote?
