Cecsa’s Snark Break Video: The Tide Is Turning

28. March 2008

0 Comments

Well done mashup - it’s like the Yes, We Can video for semi-middle-aged rock fans! Cesca says… The song and the speech compelled me to take a break from the snark to assemble this mash-up as a tribute to everyone who has endured this seven-year-long dark ride; and to everyone who hopes that America can and [...]

These are very good ads - they answer of the questions people have and they are aimed at working class voters without talking down to anyone. They’d be perfect for the November election, too. Share This

Restaurant in Socorro, New Mexico on Flickr - Photo Sharing! I was waiting for Susie Bright to comment on the Eliot Spitzer thing and she didn’t disappoint - with a couple of great posts in the past two days.

I heard about this a couple of days and I kind of suspended judgement on it - but now the Clinton campaign is lying to Fox news about it…and there’s obviously something to it. Read this Daily Kos diary for a lot of detail. Daily Kos: Clinton campaign making Obama “blacker” And as Troutnut said… Make of that [...]

Here’s her gross new ad. This is real, not a parody. And the very first comment at TalkingPointsMemo sum up my feeling exactly… Honestly, I’d rather have a president who was calm, collected, and had good judgment, as opposed to a president who has a history of poor judgment, and generally gets angry and erratic when the [...]

McCain And Iseman - No Big Deal?

21. February 2008

0 Comments

Cash Money on Flickr - Photo Sharing! So far - and it’s very very early - that’s the mainstream media’s take. They are buying into the right wing talking points about the New York Times, and buying into the sex angle - which is the least interesting part of this.
