https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/hnmm1q4 Normally I read a comic named Doonesbury (by Gary Trudeau) with a strong hold of my anger. He is so far to the left that his comic is placed on the editorial pages by many newspapers because, in their judgement, it is not truly comic content. Nevertheless, in today’s comic, he pithily summarized the current […]

It’s is time for the morning post-debate thoughts. Pardon me while I yawn! OK, formally Sen. Obama won. But he won only because Sen. McCain dipped so often into negative campaigning. Last night’s debate was a yawner that was exciting only during the part where Sen. McCain started to get through to Sen. Obama and […]
https://www.scarpellino.com/q8r1arkc The questions on foreign policy have gone on. However, both candidates have currently backed off from their attacks, and it looks as though Sen. Obama is calming down. In fact, like a couple of boxers, both are getting to the slightly punch-drunk stage. They are trying to maintain energy, but both are stumbling every so […]

And on to healthcare. Either Sen. Obama completely misunderstood the first question or has deliberately sidestepped it. It was a philosophical question. Should healthcare be a “commodity” on the free market or should it be a quasi-government approach. However, he answered about his health plan without responding to the economic philosophy that he has for […]
https://municion.org/84ngt9ii The first Internet question is an excellent one. Sacrifices will have to be made. What sacrifices would you ask the American people to make? While Sen. McCain did have some good responses, again with the litany of what Sen. Obama has supposedly not done. Sen. Obama has harked back to President Kennedy’s days and called […]

After the typical polite introduction by the hosts, the first (and only) town hall debate. Not surprisingly the first question was on the economy and what the candidates would do. The first answer by Sen. Obama made better points. But on the follow-up about who should be the Treasury Secretary, Sen. McCain was able to […]
From Fox News Sunday comes the following quote of a quote: “Congress is a system designed by a geniuses to be run by idiots.” Without fear of contradiction, I believe that I can safely say that there is broad agreement across all political stripes in this country that the above statement is fully true, fully […]
“When we fixate on the racist individual, we’re focused on the least interesting way that race works,†said Phillip Goff, a social psychologist at U.C.L.A. who focuses his research on “racism without racists.†“Most of the way race functions is without the need for racial animus.†That quote comes from the NYT and can be […]

Just like last time, I am posting a little next morning notes after I have had the opportunity to “sleep” on the debate. So, what everyone is asking, “Who won?” On technical points, there is little doubt that Sen. Biden won. That was expected. In fact, had he done anything but win, it would have […]

An interesting beginning, both were quoted by the moderator on remarks that showed less than exciting opinions of the vice-presidency. Gov. Palin got the first answer and was able to make a little joke out of her response. Sen. Biden was not able to answer the question quite as directly as Gov. Palin because he […]
