You just can’t make this stuff up. After apologizing for calling his constituents “racist” last week, Pennsylvania congressman, John Murtha, clarified his remarks in another interview by saying that the good people in western Pennsylvania are ‘redneck’ because he thinks that if they don’t support Obama it’s because (shhh, he’s black).
“What I mean is there’s [...]

McCain needed a game changer in Wednesday’s presidential debate. He found it in Joe Wurzelbacher, the plumber from Toledo, Ohio. I think everyone in America now has heard of the infamous exchange between Obama and “Joe the Plumber” while Obama was going door-to-door on Joe’s block. If you missed it, here is the vid of [...]

Double take? Yeah, I did that too when I first heard about it. On Wednesday, former Hillary Clinton supporter and Pennsylvania Congressman, John Murtha had this to say about the cold shoulder that his constituents in western Pennsylvania are giving Obama:

Democrat and Pennsylvania attorney, Philip J.

Regardless of who you support for president, I think we can all agree that we should keep partisan politics out of the schools. Our schools are NOT political parties or political organizations. Our schools are supposed to be safe, harassment free institutions of learning. In case you didn’t get the memo, the Virgina Teacher’s Union [...]

PBS’s Gwen Ifill has a pro-Obama book scheduled for release on inauguration day, January 20, 2009. She has been openly in support of Obama and has an obvious financial interest in Biden doing well in the debate and Obama winning the election. The McCain campaign did not know about Ifill’s book and bias toward Obama. [...]

The debate tonight is a go. McCain released a statement confirming his attendance. Of course, we all know that it should be Hillary and McCain debating tonight, but because we now live in Bizarro World, it will be Obama and McCain. Hillary could beat both of them in the debate blindfolded with one hand tied [...]
