Andrew Malcolm over at the LATimes is wondering what to make of Sarah Palin. Her poll numbers are low, both when the polls ask if she is qualified to be president and also when asked if people would vote for those she supports, yet in this primary season a lot of those she endorsed have […]

The Middle East figures Obama is a patsy and is vieing for who can hate Israel the most (the reborn Ottoman Empire, or the reborn Persian Empire?). At the same time, Obama’s oil spill policy gets ripped in the Rolling Stone of all places. There go the baby boomers. Time for a distraction, folks. Certain […]

Sarah Palin is still making headlines, and her book “Going Rogue” is now a best seller. Much of what I have read about her and the book seems to be viewed through the “inner beltway” mindset, by those who automatically hate those of a different political persuasion. All of these opinions try to calculate how […]

Ah, a British paper just pooh poohed the British victory at the Battle of Agincourt, saying that Prince Hal was not outnumbered 4 to 1, merely outnumbered 2 to 1. Actually, the author misses the point, which is that the elite knights of France got slowed down by the mud and were massacred by ordinary […]

“As a public official, I expect criticism and I expect to be held accountable for how I govern, but the personal, salacious nature of recent reporting, and often the refusal of the media to correct obvious mistakes, unfortunately discredits too many in journalism today, making it difficult for many Americans to believe what they see […]

All weekend, when I surf the web I’ve been reading various interpretations on why Sarah Palin has resigned. Since I live in the Philippines, and am a registered Democrat in the US, it’s not my fight. Yet what I see is that those who ridicule her seem to be in two camps. One is the […]

I was happy to find that David Letterman has joined the woman hating bigots such as Rush Limbaugh and Gordon Liddy in the NOW Hall of Shame. Comedians in search of a laugh should really know better than to snicker about men having sex with teenage girls (or young women) less than half their age. […]

Martin Luther King once wished that we could be judged by not by the colour of our skin but by our personal achievements.

Even some of my die hard republican friends are expressing shock after reading an investigative report linking Governor Sarah Palin to gun toting separatists posted by investigative journalists Max Blumenthal and David Neiwert at Salon.Com.

I am confident the answer to the question posed in my headline is a resounding no, despite vicious blog attacks saying it.

Decades ago a rather insignificant individual made a statement during the water gate hearings that didn’t draw much attention on the evening news; he casually mentioned the fact Nixon taped conversations in the oval office. Some historians mark that day as the unstoppable beginning of the end for Richard Nixon. Her Excellency the Governor of […]

Perhaps its age or the daunting schedule. But Senator John McCain’s attempt to smear Barack Obama over the lipstick and pig comment blew back badly today.
