Bobby Jindal

Bobby Jindal gave the Republican response to the President. His speech sounded much better on paper.
That is the worst delivery of a speech at the national level I have seen (even if you include John McCain’s green screen speech). He sounded like a circus announcer.
Unbelievable. I am sure it will be a YouTube hit. I’ll [...]

Magic Realism Of The Day

I was thrilled to see “Slumdog Millionaire” win big at the Oscars last night. Although the movie received the Best Picture award, it is not without its critics - especially Indian ones.
One such critic is Salman Rushdie. He was unimpressed with the movie and complained that the movie “piles impossibility on impossibility.” For example, Rushdie [...]

Bush’s Exit

My friend AG forwarded me two pictures I wish I had taken yesterday. As I was leaving the Mall yesterday afternoon Marine One passed overhead then banked left over the Potomac and headed east. At the time I thought it was just flying empty. What I didn’t realize was former President George W Bush was [...]

I’m Rooting For Blago

Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich’s appointment of Roland Burris to the US Senate is either the work of a complete madman or the gambit of a political genius. Either way, Blago must have a set of these.

John McCain was on Saturday Night Live last night. The opening skit featured McCain and Tina Fey as Sarah Palin hawking merchandise on QVC. It was pretty funny stuff, especially when Palin/Fey went rogue. McCain also pitched "McCain Fine Gold" with Cindy McCain demonstrating the merchandise.
 

Nailin’ Palin

A starstruck Sarah Palin is pranked by two Canadian comedians. She thinks she is talking to Nicolas Sarkozy.
Which genius on her staff is screening her calls? Does this mean she is now ready to talk to foreign heads of state without preconditions?
The call is funny, and also a little sad.

Comrade Palin

The headline above is comedy gold. On the eve of the release of the Troopergate report by the Alaska legislature, Serial Liar Sarah Palin makes us laugh out loud. She can not only see Russia from her house, she has also picked up some propaganda tips from the pulitburo.
