So, who’s on John McCain’s short list this week? It doesn’t really matter, because he’ll be assailing their patriotism and their position on taxes next week, unless Joe Lieberman is there to hand him the crib notes. Nonetheless, the music is going to stop one of these weeks soon, and he’s going to have to [...]

Where You bin Laden?
I’ve lived in a handful of apartments, and the one thing I always let go is the oven. Out of sight, out of mind. It’s always dark in there, so you can never see how much crap has built up from month after month of french fries and chicken and pork chops, and the occasional [...]

Off To The Racists
Well, better we stop him now before he actually wins the White House, unless we want a Popeye’s on every corner and a hoopdie in every garage.
The good folks at Sock Obama LLC have tried their best to prevent a Secretary of Defense Sharpton and a domestic initiative to infuse baseball’s pennant races with a [...]

Russ Never Sleeps
Jesus, my heart just fucking broke.
I’ve been writing this blog since January 3rd, the night of the Iowa Caucuses. I was just going to do it a few nights a week to stir some anticipation for our book while we got it finished up and ready for market. I had no idea what I’d write [...]

It’s The Ecainomy: Stupid
Jesus, that’s going to hurt. I’m paying about $4,000 in federal taxes every year. According to the McCain campaign Senior Policy Advisor Doug Holtz-Eakin, “Barack Obama would raise taxes for families making under $250,000 per year about 10 million times over – according to the very same report he cited.”
Goddamn. That’s…okay, let’s see, $37.59 per [...]

F-U Troop
Well, if they stop fighting them there, then they’ll have to fight them here, and no one wants that.
John McCain won’t win himself many overseas absentee votes with any more declarations like he made today. Speaking with Matt Lauer on NBC’s Today, Senator McCain was asked by Lauer “If (the war) is working, Senator, do [...]

Cape Smear
If you thought the scrap with Hillary was dirty, you haven’t seen anything yet. From now until November, there will be no gloves, and no love. They’re putting the napkins in their shirts right now and they’re ready to have Obama for lunch.
The general election is starting in earnest and after seventeen months slugging it [...]

Veepstake Monday: The Inside Line – 06.09.2008
It’s over and then there were two. This week we’re prognosticating on the Democrat’s VP picks, but we’ll get there in a moment after…
TRUE CONCESSIONS: Between a combination of campaign fatigue, a full social calendar, and the free pass that Hillary Clinton afforded all of us by bowing out of the race and giving Barack [...]

I Concede Clearly Now
FYI: The poo-flinging is over for the moment and they’re all taking vacations they planned back in February. I don’t get vacations, but I’m taking one from the blog. I’ll be back on Monday to discuss Hillary’s supposed concession on Saturday. Also, VeepsBlog puts Big Brown at 3-1 at Belmont Saturday afternoon.
They couldn’t stop [...]

Denver Boot
No true concessions tonight. Of course it wasn’t going to happen. We’re not even out of the gate, and the results are in jeopardy of being nullified because of a classic but unfortunate UTI–a Unity Track Infection.
The AP declared this morning that Hillary was going to concede tonight. Free at last? Our long national nightmare [...]
