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 [. Click to continue reading...

Now it’s November

4

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...

Wow!

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...

Sorry Sox … and Straight Talk Express

2

It was a good run, Red Sox ... but now it's up to the Phillies to take the devil out of those Rays, I guess. A rested Philadelphia team meets the Rays in Florida for game 1 on Wednesday night. Here's hoping for either a good, exciting, long Series or (my personal favorite) a four [...] Click to continue reading...

Phillies Clinch and McCain Continues to Tank

0

It really wasn't a contest at Dodger Stadium last night ... and wasn't one at Hofstra, either. The Phillies clinched their sixth-ever World Series berth in just five games, with a 5-1 win over the Dodgers, behind good offensive production and the strong arm of NLCS MVP Cole Hamels! I'd love to see them face the [. Click to continue reading...

Is That an Acorn that McCain Has in His Cheek?

0

I, for one, can't wait for tonight's debate and Obama's response when McCain goes after him. How Big Mac will work his fringe issues into the format should be interesting to see. The GOP has been thrusting Ayers and Acorn at us for too long to let this last debate pass by without trying [...] 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

0

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...

McCain Beyond the Palin - Even Turdblossom Decries the Lies

1

Yes, it's true. Turdblossom (aka Karl Rove) has spoken out about the excesses of the McCain campaign ads. To my mind the fact that he would do this publicly speaks, not to any new found sense of decorum or fair play in the doughy sleazeball, but to the fractiousness and internecine warfare within the Republican [.

Maddow, Huffington, a Bit of Soccer, and Yeah, Some Palin, Too

2

So Rachel Maddow's new show premiered last night and while I didn't see the whole thing (had a meeting) and didn't see Boltgirl there (not yet, that is), what I saw I liked a lot (not surprisingly). Way to go Rachel! Ariana Huffington has written about Sarah Palin as the Trojan Moose who distracts the electorate [. Click to continue reading...

Olympic Gold, Silver … and Something Browne That I Like … and the USWNT, Too!

First, congratulations to gymnasts Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson on their gold and silver in the all around, and to Michael Phelps on his 6th gold and 6th world record. On the Browne front, I love it that Jackson Browne is suing the McCain campaign for stealing his music. How dumb are they? Another [. Click to continue reading...

Beulah’s Match Report and Other News of the USWNT and Beyond

Here's Beulah's match report. I'm always so pleased when one or two things I noticed show up in Beulah's write-up! I continue to be impressed with HAO's play - and was also very glad to see Mitts playing more like her old self. Hope A-Rod gets her scoring started against New Zealand [...]SHARETHIS.

USWNT Wins Another (And Other News of the World)

4

The USWNT defeated Norway 4-0 yesterday in Fredrikstad, and Abby Wambach scored her 99th career goal! Next up is Sweden on July 5th. Interestingly, the US had not defeated Norway in Norway before - losing and tying their two previous matches there. The Norwegians must love it that the USWNT's first win [.

Bush Feeling the Love, USWNT in Norway, and Other Stuff

6

Yes, it's true. According to this US News and World Report article, the Prez apparently feels he is having a good final year. In fact, in a very positive development for the Bush camp, aides say that he is feeling 'less antipathy' from his constituents, as he travels around the country. (Note-to-Self: [.
