I relent.
My friend Sisto Abeyta is running for President of the Young Democrats of America. He’s been unsubtly asking me “where is the love?” since, unlike many of his supporters, I haven’t put him in my MySpace “Top Friends.” Who is he suggesting I bump off for him? Lalo Guerrero? The Furious Truckstop Waitresses? Amy [...]
I’ve written before about the relative anonymity of our legislators. My brother encountered this himself the other night while at Plush. He related the dialogue on his MySpace page:
Friend of a Friend: Hey…you got one of them shirts…a…what’s it called…
Me: Guayabera.
FoaF: Yeah…guay-a-ber-a…that’s it. Growing up I thought they were called “Barber Shirts” because all the [...]
Russell Pearce is, once again, mulling a challenge against Jeff Flake. Some of you may remember that he publicly toyed with doing this (and a race for governor) in the past. This time though, he is term-limited and has to go up or out. This circumstance coupled with Flake’s more high profile endorsement of pro-immigration [...]
Randy Pullen’s has spent the last few months claiming that the Republican party has registered thousands of new voters. I’m assuming that the majority of these voters are Republicans, or it would defeat the purpose of the whole enterprise, wouldn’t it?
So, then the question becomes, where the heck are these folks hiding?
Take a look at what has happened to [...]
One of the possible traps that we political activists fall into is seeing every action of others through the lenses of our own ideology. It can lead us into giving folks political motives where none exist, basically because we think everyone must believe just as we do.
We have to remember sometimes that most people, even those [...]
Jim Gilmore dropped out of the Presidential race yesterday, did you notice? A few months back, former Virginia Governor Mark Warner dropped out as well. This means that both Virginians in the current race are out.
Four of the first five presidents were Virginians, but since then, not so much. Despite its large size (12th biggest), [...]
Even though I don’t fit into any known “youth” category any longer, I still recieve missives from the various youth arms of the Democratic Party. I ran across this one from the College Democrats of America:
Dear College Democrat,
It is with great pleasure that I announce the one and only Senator Hillary Clinton will be joining [...]
I knew it wouldn’t take long, our friends on the other side have been pointing to the resignation of David Waid as some sort of sign that the Democratic Party is totally dysfunctional. Yep…the party is on the verge of imploding and going the way of the Anti-Masons in the 1830’s.
I guess they got tired [...]
It looks as though Bob Walkup won’t have much of a race this year. The Democrats have largely abandoned the field, leaving Walkup to run against Green Party candidate Dave Croteau. I like what I’ve heard from Croteau, and I might even vote for him. As it looks right now, however, I can’t think of [...]
Over at Radar, they are reporting that one of John McCain’s frustrations with the aides he fired was with their choice of attire for him. Specifically, he didn’t like the, his words, “gay sweaters” they made him wear to make him look younger.
To quote the gay friend who tipped me off to this one, “Gay sweater? [...]
