McCain*Palin 2008

The selection of Alaska governor Sarah Palin as McCain’s vice president is a masterful move that serves nothing less than a game-changer. In the weeks running up to this decision, Conservatives like myself have worried about McCain’s choice. “Lieberman” just had me digging my face in my hands in frustration. When Palin’s existence and lineup… Continue reading this entry

When I was younger I was skinnier than Barry Oh is now, partly because I was a sickly kid who suffered for months from minor… Continue reading this entry
