Back in the neighborhood

In a church basement on the South Side the week before Thanksgiving. Why do I get the feeling we’re going to be seeing this a lot over the next four years?

Looks like our new Commerce Secretary moonlights as a college basketball player up in Lacey.  Where does he find the time?

Look who’s on Twitter!
Sure, it might well be a hoax, but I don’t care.  Such is my love for the big guy.

Don’t stick a fork in them yet

November 7th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 3 Comments · Uncategorized

The Blue meme of the moment has the Republican Party officially dead in Oregon.  I don’t know that I would go that far.  I do believe the party as we know it is over, but a new one is about to rise from its ashes and its leader will be Greg Walden.  There’s still a [...]

The political prop of the season

October 7th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Uncategorized

Suzy Shuster says what I can’t.
Why is this child up so late every time there is a camera op? Why isn’t this baby sleeping in a crib or bassinet somewhere with a sleep sheep or some other sound apparatus lulling him into night-night? Is it just me or does it seem like she carts this [...]

All hail Seth Petruzelli!

October 5th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

Seth Petruzelli took down Kimbo Slice in one of the absolutely lamest MMA fights I’ve seen.  It lasted 14-seconds.
Petruzelli was a last-minute fill-in for an over-the-hill Ken Shamrock, and from what I could see, is at best average.  But whatever.  Tonight he’s Buster Douglas.
The official line is Petruzelli knocked Slice down with a sharp jab.  [...]

America’s waitress

October 4th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Uncategorized

One of Andrew Sullivan’s readers cuts through all the garbage and finds a truth.
I thought Palin’s performance at the debate was downright embarrassing and on top of that I have to read this clown’s blog, stating more or less that Palin gave him an erection? Little starbursts my ass. Here’s what I thought when [...]

First things first

September 11th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Uncategorized

I emailed a friend in Ohio this afternoon to get a gauge on the mood there.  Ohio is the swing state this time around; whoever wins there will most likely be the new president.  The guys at the 538 have Ohio officially as a toss-up, but they include it in the red column.  If the [...]

To the woodshed

June 6th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

By now you’ve heard about Obama’s Senate floor confrontation with Joe Lieberman.  You probably haven’t seen the video though.  What a fantastic catch by ABC News.  Lieberman looked almost befuddled as Obama led him into the corner for his tongue-lashing.  What was the subject of the conversation?  Jake Trapper probably has it close to right.
Obama [...]
