Ex-mayor of Madison, Wisconsin Paul Soglin…

….says he has more foreign policy experience than Sarah Palin does.

So I bet him $10 that she becomes President before he does.

I think it was a good bet.

How would John McCain deal with the unexpected?

I think most people can agree the Republicans ended up having a successful convention.

And, cialis buy viagra yet, look much of the convention had to be reorganized on the fly because of the unexpected and unwelcome arrival of hurricane Gustav on what was scheduled to be the first day of the convention.

Score one for McCain’s ability to adjust on the fly to changing circumstances. Not bad for an old fart…I mean…fighter pilot.

Some things I just don’t understand.

A Roman Catholic, viagra generic prostate Biden said he accepts his church’s teachings that life begins at conception, but that the issue is personal for him. He said it wouldn’t be right to impose his views on others who are just as religious as he is.

“I’m prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception. But that is my judgment,” Biden said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “For me to impose that judgment on everyone else who is equally and maybe even more devout than I am seems to me is inappropriate in a pluralistic society.”

I don’t know what to say about this.

I understand people who think abortion is OK, because they don’t believe human life begins at conception.

I disagree with them.

But I understand them.

I cannot understand a man who says he believes human life begins at creation, and yet doesn’t believe that life is worthy of protecting.

This is what used to be known as “splitting hairs”:

One of the compelling anecdotes about Sarah Palin is that she auctioned off the Alaska governor’s jet on eBay after taking office — a swift move made by a reformer hoping to clean up the excesses of her predecessor.

But in fact, tadalafil thumb the jet did not sell on eBay. It was sold to a businessman from Valdez named Larry Reynolds, who paid $2.1 million for the jet, shy of the original $2.7 million purchase price, according to contemporaneous news reports, including a story in the New York Times.

Dan Spencer, the director of administrative services for Alaska’s Public Safety Department, said that the Republican speaker of the Alaska House, John L. Harris, brokered the deal.

What happened? It appears that, as promised during her bid for governor in 2006, Palin did try to sell the plane on eBay but that doing so was not as easy as it might have sounded. After putting it up to auction, there was one serious bid, in December 2006, and it fell through. Still, the Westwind II was sold about eight months later, achieving Palin’s goal of ridding the state of a luxury item.

Seriously, what’s the point here?

She DID put the jet on ebay.

She herself has never said she “sold” it on ebay.

And she DID sell it as part of her reformer gig.

WTF is this supposed to prove? That the people around her can get their story wrong?

And even if they’re deliberately lying…WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?!!!

Is the sale LESS genuine because there were no takers on ebay?

Come on. I know you can do better than this. Don’t you have any belly pictures of Bristol to shop around?

Craps!

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle calls Palin a ‘gamble’ as VP

And he should know.

Considering all the money he’s taken from the Indian tribes in Wisconsin to protect their casinos, cialis usa illness he must be an expert on gambling by now!

Here, let me just fix this.

In his Milwaukee Journal Sentinel column, cialis sale pilule today, recipe Eugene Kane says that people have been trying to use that fact that Milwaukee politician Michael McGee and Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick are both prison bound as proof that all black politicians are corrupt:

Some readers have made the comparison between McGee and Kilpatrick in several e-mails linking these two discredited black politicians together in an attempt to suggest all black politicians are somehow corrupt.

That’s just wrong.

All black politicians aren’t corrupt.

All politicians are corrupt.

Out of a sense of fairness…

…I’m linking to Pundit Nation’s response to my decision to feature the video clip in my last post.

I’m also including the video clip Pundit Nation used in their post:

One of the reasons I hesitated to make my previous post was because I do think the troops should be out of bounds.

But one of the reasons I DID decide to post it was because (in contrast to the clearly professionally produced spot above) the other clip seemed to be an authentically amateur message. I still hope it doesn’t turn out to be a cynical commercial created by a professional agency.

Dear Mr. Obama

(This video is posted all over the Internet. I have some qualms about posting it myself, discount viagra recipe but I think it deserves to be viewed as widely as possible and not all of my visitors read a lot of other blogs.)

Golden opportunity:

McCain rapped Obama’s tax proposals, viagra sale search which include a large tax cut for lower- and middle-class workers but would increase taxes for the wealthiest Americans.

If I were McCain, I’d say, “No thanks on the tax increase, but I’m with you on cutting taxes even more on the lower and middle-classes!”
