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 [.

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...

I'm home and still catching up, so this will be brief.  We're undergoing an audit by the State of NH at work starting tomorrow and running through the end of the week.  (As Princess Sparkle Pony would say ... "Yay!"). On the actual, honest-to-goodness YAY front, I see that the Phillies won (again) over the Braves, [. Click to continue reading...

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 [.

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 [.

First thing: Raymond Domenech has kept his job. For now. According to Christian Teinturier, the VP of the FFF who was apparently the only guy to ask for change on July 3, is saying: We had spoken of three matches. We will make the assessment after those Click to continue reading...

 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...

TORONTO - The G"olden" boy of the team, captain Charles Eppich, along with Steve Ward and Matt Dookie all exercised their player options and will be part of the new look 2009 Pistolas FC.

Team Captain Charles has been a key player in dealing with league officials both on and off the field, and though age (or Guiness) may have caught up to him and slowed him down later in the season, he was still rather speedy and finished the year with 6 goals on the year.

MARKHAM - After a strong season and better play this year, Pistolas FC dropped an unlikely 4-1 loss to Silver.

Missing many quality players in Ivano, David Breau, Gus, Jay Shumski and Andrew Traetto the team didnt have many options in changing things up or trying different options.

Poorly scheduled as an early start on the the Sunday of the long weekend, the game started quickly without necessary defencemen Rocco and Luch, and Silver got out to an early 2-0 scoreline. Click to continue reading...

MARKHAM - After winning the last 5 straight games and 8 of their last 10, Pistolas FC dropped the last game of the regular season 2-1 to Silver.

Playing their 2nd game in 4 nights, the team looked sluggish all around showing only few signs of determination.

But with the previous game ending in a lopsided 6-1 Titans FC over Limeys FC, the boys in black weren't as pressed into a must win situation and experimented with an unusual lineup. Click to continue reading...

I opened up MSNBC this morning and saw the news that Obama has picked Biden. Probably a smart move ... experience and gravitas and whiteness and all. I was kinda hoping for something more interesting - but would rather win. So Biden seems good. Biden I can live with. (But wouldn't [...]SHARETHIS. Click to continue reading...
