Far East Cynic

It is the end of the world as we know it…..

Holy Cow! Dr Laura and I agree on something! I’m stunned – couldn’t the Republican Party find one competent female with adult children to run for Vice President with McCain?   I realize his advisors probably didn’t want a “mature” woman, as the Democrats keep harping on his age.  But really,

How she got her start……….

I do so love it when I am right! A nice little background piece of how the mayor went from being the mayor to being the Governor. And besides-she’s got Dick Masterson’s vote!

Book report…..

I’m staying away from a lot of my favorite blogs for a while. The fact that they have gone so totally gaga over Gidget Palin is just too much. And I’ve given up trying to find nude pictures of her on the internet-so that’s a dead end hobby too. I’ll

The MILF Factor………..

My Canadian counterpart has done it again. He’s taken a complex issue and narrowed it down to it’s salient points. Bottom Line up front-Just because you are gun loving, baby making, snowmobling MILF-does not mean you deserve to be on the ticket. I’ve quoted his post for you below in

Well one thing is for sure…….

It is going to be REAL interesting this fall. I have to admit I did not see the Palin thing coming-I thought for sure it was going to be Romney. Now if McCain would stand up and publicly repudiate Bush and pledge to get out of Iraq on Maliki’s timetable-there

Can't say as I disagree……..

In an airport waiting for a plane. Went online to check the Economist. I’d say they sized it up about right. Enough of catering to “The Base”. Send them packing, they have no other place to go anyway. Its time to take their fixations on sex and other stuff and
