Political immaturity, aka, the adults are not in charge has reared its head here. Its gone up a notch here in Northern VA. Wrote before that some people here take their politics waaay tooo seriously in proportion to themselves. My dentist, who lives and practices within walking distance (how...
Well, I returned from my business trip just in time. The bad news is the disaster of the economy. The good news is that this has made a lot of people aware of how incompetent Republicans are with the economy. Barack Obama can only blow this election if he does something really stupid. All of the...
Since John McCain announced his choice of Sarah Palin as running mate, I've watched in both amazement and amusement as many Republicans have performed mental contortions in attempts to get on board with McCain's choice and support Palin. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost. For one thing, we all...
I read an interesting article on Alternet yesterday: "'If You Can Run the PTA, You Can Run the Country' -- Republicans Explain Their Support for Palin" This article examined some of the lame and convoluted reasons some voters gave for why they support Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate. My...
As several bloggers have already pointed out, John McCain's campaign jumped the gun by placing an ad on the Wall Street Journal's webpage that declared him the winner of Friday's presidential debate, before it even took place. This reminded me of when the Chicago Daily Tribune similarly jumped the...
I think I finally understand this year's election cycle: it is a game of "Hot potato" [1]. Let me explain. Right now, the economy is in a mess. Unemployment is up and consumer confidence is down. Taxes will have to be raised and services cut, no matter what the two candidates say. That would be bad...
Classical Liberalism (I do so hope you'll read this and think about it.) This year's Libertarian presidential candidate is, in some ways, as wacky as most of the previous ones. He's just wacky of a different flavor. It's not a flavor I favor. But it's okay, because right now, the others all seem...
Sarah Palin has a habit of betraying former patrons, especially when they get in trouble -- but only once they're no longer useful. By David Talbot Sept. 23, 2008 | WASILLA, Alaska -- Before Sarah Palin decided to run for the Wasilla mayor's office in 1996 against incumbent John Stein, the Palins...
Um, Mr. McCain? I know you don't know much from the 18 homes you own, but other people have had their homes foreclosed, so they might not think the fundamentals are so strong. John McCain corrected that statement (which sounded just like Herbert Hoover before the Great Depression started) to mean...
Fannie and Freddie, If Only Someone Warned Us. . . Someone did in 2003. The Republicans that voted in the primary could have voted for him, but, alas, it was not to be. Instead of someone that knows what he is talking about in economics and finances, they nominated someone who is just the opposite....
A theme that has come up in discussions with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents lately is a desire to see the campaigns return to the issues. Well. Here we go.
The saddest part of politics these days is how the so-called Mainstream Media have abandoned their duties as truth tellers. Because large corporations have invested interests in Republicans winning elections and rewarding their companies with favorable legislation or lack of regulation, the press no...
A shocking plot has been uncovered!!! John McCain will win the US Election in November. But will only serve for 8 months!!!!! He'll be stuck down by a massive heart attack, brought on by eating a whale omelette (a traditional Alaskan delicacy) Sarah Palin will be installed as Commander in Chief. Her...
While planning an election/government theme for my kids for the next few weeks, I ran across this little piece at Scholastic.com regarding third-party candidates. At the bottom is a link to a very strange interview/article on Bob Barr. I agree with Bob that just saying "hey, vote an alternative!" is...
I've been waiting to address the issue of John McCain's running mate until I had more information about who she is. I'm glad I waited, as my opinions have changed. At first, I'll admit, I looked at the choice, listened to her speak, and then thought... Damn. McCain finally got something right. But...
Everyone. Both sides of this presidential race. I ask you to do one thing before posting to Vox: When commenting on a scandalous story about one candidate or the other, or once vice presidential candidate or the other do two things: 1. Check out snopes.com to see if it is mentioned there. I don't...

Mugatu: "Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!" (from Zoolander, 2001) I know it's early, but this presidential race is already starting to depress me. With polls showing John McCain and Barack Obama tied or McCain with a 4 point lead, it's starting to look like the...
I am a life-long Democrat who is already terrified by this woman's emergence, but I am also terrified by the knee-jerk "liberal" reaction to a her NRA membership, religious conservativism, pro-business/anti-environment stance and the media's promotion of her as a celebrity rather than a politician...
