In my attempt to keep up with all the supercalifagilistic Super Tuesday action today (Obama’s taken Georgia, Huckabee takes West Virgina) I have been forced to watch cable network news. I generally try to keep cable news viewing to a minimum as it tends to irritate, rather than inform me. (What happened to just-the-facts-ma’am news?…
She’s cool. He’s hot. She’s from the Bush/Clinton clan. He’s not. Forgive me for borrowing the tag line from Valley Girl to head into an entry on the Democratic primary. Sigh. Is anyone else pissed that the Democratic primary is even close, considering that Clinton and Obama look nearly identical on paper except for the…
I need a break from those irritating Walmart commercials which show women making all the food for large Super Bowl parties. As if only women would make all the food for a party. As if women wouldn’t want to watch the game. Memo to Walmart: Dudes cook and chicks watch sports (at least at my…
I wasn’t going to write about the whole NOW-tantrum about the Kennedy endorsement of Obama, but then I read the Minx‘s take and I liked it so much that I thought – what the hell? On the one hand … I generally support and like what NOW is about. They’ve made strides to be more…
MoveOn is encouraging folks around the nation to host and/or attend Super Tuesday primary parties. It is shaping up to be a legendary presidential campaign season and major victories could be in-hand on Tuesday. Haven’t heard of any parties around here but I encourage you to host one, or go to one. And tell us…
The title for this post comes from the Nobel-prize-winning Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. On Monday there was a lot of chatter about King and his legacy. Presidential candidates invoked his name to further their own ends. (Or apologize for them.) Newspapers and network anchors used his holiday as a news peg. Unapologetic racists reminded…
Opened the old Siren e-mail and got a message from the Obama campaign wondering how the caucus went for everybody. And that’s a good question to ask. Thanks to your hard work, we won 13 national convention delegates today, and Hillary Clinton won 12. … However, we received many reports of people having trouble with…
Well kids, it’s almost here. Tomorrow is the big CaucusFest. Are you ready? Actually, I have a little confession to make. I’m not ready either. But lucky for me, all the organizations, candidates and other such entities who have been filling up my e-mail in-box lately have sent me an insurmountable amount of information today.…
I’ve got to dash. (In fact, late already.) But wanted to add two more bits … Today’s Dem Prez e-mail tally — Clinton: 7, Obama: 0. Check that. I mean Clinton: 8, Obama: 1. Can’t sum up the media’s chatter about Nevada’s CaucusFest better than The Gleaner, so I won’t even try. — Emmily
The humble Sin City Siren gets a mention in Morra Aaron‘s (you might know her from CNN punditry) political post on BlogHer! Here’s what I said: Even as close as we are to the caucus, I still can’t get a sense of who will be going to this thing. As in, from the masses, regular…
