Palin Waits for Sign From God (and Sorts Through Her RNC Wardrobe)

0
As a metaphor for the Republican right wing, that headline pretty much says it all.  They sport a sensibility that's moralistic as all get out - yeah.  But it's a very literal and childish morality.  Black and white - no nuances or doubts allowed.  Oh, and it's based on "signs" from a god who is [.

As the Dust Settles

0
It's day two of what continues to feel like a new era.  Obama faces a plethora of daunting tasks, and we are on notice that for hope to burn bright, we need to roll up our sleeves and help.  That's the difference.  Obama's no white-haired GOP fake Father-Knows-Best, but a competent and inspiring leader who's [.

USWNT Wins in Virginia … Obama Will be Next!

0
Having been asleep at the switch on the soccer front for awhile, I was pleased to receive a Google Alert about the USWNT's most recent win.  This one coming in Richmond, VA, where South Korea fell to the USWNT.  Vic Dorr, Jr. describes the game in the Times Dispatch.  Sounds like Angela Hucles continues her [.

Now it’s November

Another Halloween has gone by with no trick or treaters on this hill (and now we have a hefty basket of chocolate to work our way through).  It's November and we're at four days and counting.  As the sun rises, for the last time in Daylight Saving mode, let's see what's going on out there [...] Click to continue reading...

‘80 Phillies ‘08

1
There's lots to be said for symmetry!  Indeed, back in '80, the first time the Phillies won it all, yours truly was about to turn 28 ... and now here we are 28 years later!  Yeah, symmetry!  :)  On a chilly night in Philly, they did it again! That training Scene from Rocky 1 still [...] Click to continue reading...

Rain, Rain, Rain … and a Little More Palin Pain

0
The Phillies-Rays game was suspended after the Rays tied it in the top of the sixth.  When they'll resume is anyone's guess - the weather map sure doesn't look auspicious for tonight.  IMHO, it's be nice if the delay went long enough that I could catch up on my sleep - and Hamels could pick [...] Click to continue reading...

Wow!

0
That's really it, just WOW! The Phillies' bats came alive in a real big way last night, as they blew the Rays out 10 to 2. Tonight's game five, still in Philadelphia, could be the end of the Series! It's great to see Ryan Howard producing the way we know he can. And how amazing was that [...] Click to continue reading...

Help, I’m Stranded on Second - Save Me! Save Me! (Just a Bad Dream, Phillies Fans, Really!)

0
How many base runners have the Phillies stranded now?  I guess the glass-half-full perspective would be that they're creating chances and will start cashing in eventually.  (Just hope "eventually" comes within the next couple of games!)  According to the NY Times the Phils are 1 for 28 with runners in scoring position - and Ryan [.

Help Spread the Truth About ACORN!

0
Thanks, ChristopherCornblog! Voter suppression has always been an issue.  It's a threat to the fabric of our democracy ... and a core strategy of the GOP.  Nice! From the scary ... to the ridiculous ... read about how Governor Palin and the RNC are spending money while "real Americans'" wallets are in dire straits. Click to continue reading...

Will It Blend?

0
No baseball to report on.  No debate.  I am forced to move to Plan B.  (Don't try this at home.) What brought me to this?  It began with my morning visit to Woot - a site that HollyCornblog turned me onto some years ago. I check it first thing and sometimes find really good deals.  [...] Click to continue reading...

Phillies Win One … Palin Losing One?

1
The Phillies pulled out a 3-2 win with a big sixth inning and so are up 1-0 over Manny and the Dodgers (a sixties Motown group that some of you may remember fondly - I certainly do).  Cole Hamels looked a little shakier than I like him to, but he got the win, and I'm [...] Click to continue reading...

Home Again and Back to Blogging, by Golly

1
This morning I checked BlueHampshire and was pleased to see this piece about the level of desperation in the McSame camp. I groaned aloud last night when I heard Palin regurgitating that Bill Ayers story yet again.  Despicable and empty ploy ... but what I like about it is how it reflects the ongoing disarried and [.

Sunday Sundries … Before the Great Migration

I'm going to be migrating everything from my old computer to my new one in just a wee bit ... so am posting somewhat quickly now.  Hopefully you'll hear from me again. If not, you'll know that things went badly here ... A bailout agreement has apparently been reached. I read some excellent debate analysis [. Click to continue reading...

Friday Flotsam (and Jetsam, Too)

0
I'm very excited to be heading over to HollyCornblog's house today for a weekend visit. We'll be doing some chores at the lake like bringing in the dock, bringing in HollyCornblog's sailboat, etc. I'll also be inspecting the amazing and gargantuan work that she and CharlieHopbrew did on the new woodshed up there.

Rushed Saturday Stuff …

1
This morning's post will likely be quick, as I've gotta make 2 dozen sandwiches for some soccer-game tailgating by 7:30 AM.  But enough about me! On Truthdig I came upon this Palin Perspective from John Dean (yes, that John Dean).  Basically he argues, rather damningly, that were a sitting President in the position of having to [.
