“Aloha” translated… and Elvis was gay

In Hawaiian, “aloha” means “go @#$% yourself Ohio’s 10th District.”

From yesterday’s Openers:
Touting his presidential campagn in Hawaii over the weekend, Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich called himself the “Aloha candidate” during a Hawaiian television interview in which he wore a white lei over his dark suit.
As the people of Cleveland’s west side wonder what the […]

Crazy is as crazy does

I used to like Alan Keyes.  Even though I disagreed with some of his stances, I thought that among conservative voices out there he stayed true to his prinicipals and that was worthy of merit.
But enough is enough.  Apparently he’s running for president - again.  The guy has become a sensationalistic carpetbagger of the first […]

I smell something

Could it be a FRED?
George Will on Fred Thompson’s presidential campaign launch: Thompson - Just a Fad?
Money quote:
Fred Thompson’s plunge into the presidential pool — more belly-flop than swan dive — was the strangest product launch since that of New Coke in 1985. Then the question was: Is this product necessary? A similar question stumped Thompson […]

Is McCain back?

My initial thoughts from tonight’s first post-Labor Day presidential GOP debate is that John McCain looked and sounded better than he has in years (and thus was the winner, hands down).  The senator from Arizona had the spark that made him so attractive in 2000.  Maybe it was the New Hampshire audience, maybe it was […]

You break it, you bought it

Just another reason why Mike Huckabee is the GOP candidate that steals every debate with his folksy way of relating his position on tough issues.  When asked about whether or not we should pull our troops out of Iraq, the former Arkansas governor told a story about how as a child his mother would harp […]

Presidential candidates aren’t homeless

… they just move around a lot. 
This from today’s CQ Politics says that none of the campaigners were willing to spend a night out on the streets of DC.
Who can blame them, they might have to use a public restroom - and you know what can happen there (especially when Senators and Congressmen are around).

New GOP Straw Poll

Time for the latest GOP presidential straw poll - good luck finding someone worthy of your vote… (BTW - note the GOP Bloggers‘ afterword regarding the Ron Paul campaign)

Some of you may be wondering about the absence of Ron Paul from this months straw poll. Let me explain. After my decision to include Ron Paul […]

Obama thought of the day

Some possible random thoughts from folks in the office.
“Too much starch in the shorts.”
“Wait, I’m supposed to have ideas?”
“The joke’s on you America!”
“$50+ million reasons to run for president”
“If you think I look stupid now, wait until I’m president.”
Feel free to offer your own, best thought wins a congratulatory atta boy from our staff.

The beginning of the next ‘08 presidential campaign trend?

If there’s one thing I can say about Barack Obama, it’s that he’s a trend-setter.  The second (Edwards was first with that pathetic pandering plea from New Orleans that was over-shadowned by Gerald Ford’s death) of the top-tier candidates to officially announce that he would soon announce his candidacy for higher office (remember the “surprise” online announcement) […]

My man Gilmore - still running for president?

The former governor of Virginia Jim Gilmore graciously bowed out of the Republican presidential horse race for nomination over a month ago, but that doesn’t stop liberals from trying to to bash his campaign… nice job Dr. Susan Blumenthal at the Huffington Post for including a link to his new post-campaign blog Virginia Patriot while trashing GOP […]
