"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, is an amazing book. So simple yet so profound, it is always life-changing to those who read it. Here are some quotes from the book that have touched many... * It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. (p11) What's the world's greatest lie? It's this: that at a certain point in our…
It isn't voter fraud. Will all the folks who seem to think the "fabric of our democracy" is being threatened, take a deep breath and read that again... It isn't voter fraud. I know you want to believe it. I know you are deliriously convinced that there is an organized effort underway to steal the election from the apparently much more deserving McCain/Palin ticket. But please,…
The annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner was held tonight in New York City. It was truly a refreshing respite from the deteriorating 2008 Presidential campaign. Here was Senators McCain & Obama, in white ties and tails, hilariously roasting each other in front of fellow politicos from both parties, as well as notable members of the media and local diocese. Hearing…
Okay, McCain says tonight that the ACORN voter registration fiasco may, "...be destroying the fabric of this democracy." Come on. Can he continue to believe he will win this election by throwing stale red meat at the feet of the most inept, unintelligent voters? For those that believe the fix is in and Obama/Ayers & Co. are perpetrating the greatest heist in American history…
McCain & Palin can continue to make statements that are patently false, highly incendiary, and intellectually insulting. Is it any wonder they are now 14 points behind tonight (CBS/NYT poll 10-14)? "KO" could not sit back any longer and here's the "Special Comment".
So the McCain/Palin ticket finally decided to slow down the visceral rhetoric that they were spewing this past week. This crossing-the-line hate-mongering without evidence has incited midwest crowds to boiling points reminiscent of 20th century lynch mobs. It was inexcuseable. Claiming Barack Obama's "association" with William Ayers is "tip-of-the-iceberg" evidence is so ludicrous as to be insulting to rational thinking Americans. As Obama frequently…
Hey kids, back in the day #4 was on our side. He was a prankster and a fun lovin' good-ole boy. With his life and career mostly ahead of him, he lived the way he played; sometimes with grace, sometimes with instinct, and sometimes with reckless abandon. He is sorely missed- especially after last Sunday. But forever we will have the blessed…
While Tina Fey may eventually tire of doing her dead-on Sarah Palin impersonation, I don't believe she could ever top the real deal. This candidate is so pathetically out of her element it's painful to watch. Even while swinging (and wildly missing) at the softballs lobbed from Katie Couric, the self-proclaimed "hockey-mom" may have set American-woman-working-mom-as-candidate credibility back about 50 years. Suddenly I'm missing the steady experience and articuation…
