My old home state, New Mexico, has made it’s way into the spotlight of late. Some suggest that Bush and Kerry are both taking up residency there. New Mexico’s 5 electoral votes are apparently in high demand. Weird. I seem to remember NM went to Gore last time around. It keeps fluctuating this time. By […]

Bruce Bartlett, a domestic policy adviser to Ronald Reagan and a treasury official for the first President Bush, had this to say about Bush, Jr. in The New York Times:
[I]f Bush wins, there will be a civil war in the Republican Party starting on Nov. 3…. I think a light has gone off for people […]

Oh, and thanks for shipping my neighbor’s job to Vietnam. That was such a sweet deal: they gave his job to someone who costs only about one-eighth […]

You know, if I hadn’t read all this stuff with my own two eyes I’d think I was just being totally over-the-top conspiratorial. I mean, this is straight out of a Scooby Doo skit. You’ve got the old geezer dressing up in different costumes and pulling different stunts to try and scare the kids away […]

Okay so I know that most of my election banter is just a sermon for the choir, but in the off-chance that there are Bush supporters visiting, I invite you to visit Errol Morris. There you’ll find a handful of t.v. ads that haven’t found the funding needed to be aired, but they are all […]
