Ron Paul weighed in on the election today. It wasn't the third party run that I'd hoped for, but he makes a great argument for not wasting your vote this time around:
The American Majority
The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the Right ...

Man... that was fast:
I don't know what Obama's intent was, and it doesn't really matter that McCain said it months ago. This is a classic case of not being aware of the context. And the context of Palin making the famous lipstick remark means that this old saying is off ...

Hillarious.
Watched 60 Minutes' pieces with the 2 Democratic candidates. I like Obama. I do. I don't really support some of his ideas, but he seems to be a genuine, real person, unlike his counterpart. On a likability scale, I'd put McCain at the bottom, Hillary just 1 notch above ...
