UPDATE: JOSEPHINE. WELCOME TO THE PARTYIKE'S PATH?WWII not withstanding.....Just remember what the government scientists say: "There is no global warming. Al Gore is a kook. There is no global warming. Al Gore is a kook."If you repeat it long enough when you have nothing else to do (like when you're sitting in a dark house with no power because one of the dozen of killer hurricanes that have nothing to do with global warming have finally struck you down) then you may in fact one day believe it- despite all the evidence to the contrary...

MCCAIN'S PICK

Posted on September 01, 2008
We've been thinking a lot about McCain's pick for Vice President. In another life at another time a long time ago, we worked on a campaign that made a decision for Vice President. In the end we have decided that there is nothing bold about McCain's pick...

Two Labor Day Weekend storms bear down on Cuba and the United States.Gustav batters Cuba Saturday morning before heading into the Gulf where it's expected to gain strength and then strike somewhere on the Gulf coast. We can all rest assured that the President and his disaster team will react with the same alacrity and professionalism that made us all proud of the Government's rescue efforts after hurricane Katrina...

THE MAN IN THE ARENA

Posted on August 27, 2008
Today the votes have been counted. The winners celebrate a future bright, while the losers face a new day, haggard from a sleepless night contemplating what might have been. For all those who were "In the arena" we re-run what has become a tradition on this blog- that portion of Teddy Roosevelt's famous "Man in the Arena" speech first given by our 26th President on April 23, 1910 at the Sorbonne, Paris, France, that deals with defeat...

DEMOCRACY IN ACTION

Posted on August 26, 2008
I never made it to Denver so I voted this morning. Apparently I am on some blogger watch list at the airport. I declined the invitation of a very large man named Stanley to do a cavity search prior to boarding the aircraft. So I decided watching the convention on CNBC was good enough, and as I headed back from the airport, I decided to vote...

VOTE!!!

Posted on August 25, 2008
Tomorrow/Today is election day in Dade County. There are several judicial races that will directly impact the readers of this blog. Unlike in past years, we have refrained from making endorsements, primarily because we don't know most of the candidates, and quite frankly, the choices are demoralizing at best...

RENAME THE E.R. GRAHAM

As a lawyer, State Attorney and Attorney General of the United States she always did her "level best" to do the job right...

Those boys in Atlanta won't stand for this...

AUGUST DOLDRUMS

Posted on August 12, 2008
There's just not a lot going on. Is it me, or is our president positively Jimmy Carterish in his dealings with the Russians this week? I mean, he can't do anything other than shake his finger at them and accuse them of violating international law. And if that is not the Texas pot calling the kettle black, then I don't know what is...
