The SkaroffBlog is saving me lots of money in therapy so I appreciate you appeasing me while I rant. Tim Kaine and his campaign may have lost the election this morning in Virginia. It’s incredible to me that after the 2004 Kerry race and the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Democratic operatives STILL don’t understand [...]

Really interesting article from the Washington Post today about Bush’s body language during an early morning interview on the Today Show. It is evident that the once fearless W. has become a man undone and his Presidency has been taken down due to his incompetence and lies. Read more about this article here The fidgeting [...]

Interesting moment at last night’s New Jersey Gubernatorial debate between Senator Jon Corzine (D) and Doug Forrester (R) when they both said, if elected, they would sign a medical marijuana bill into law. “With respect to providing relief under doctor’s supervision, under the proper circumstances, I think we need to provide all medical resources, and [...]

In less than one month, Virginians will be headed to the polls to cast their votes in what will be the most important election in 2005. Currently, polls are neck and neck and as a result this campaign is becoming one of the nastiest races this citizen pundit has ever seen. To be short: Jerry [...]

I thought I wanted an iPod Nano before, but with the addition of the iWood case, my technolust has reached a new boiling point. I also saw someone using one of these in person for the first time the other day (first though: what the hell is that? I’ve never seen a cell phone THAT [...]

The rich get richer and the poor will be freezing to death. I wish this was surprising. I wish this still made me angry.

First, a word about the New York Times and their new $50 per year Times Select plan that puts the op-eds and other select features behind a subscription wall. How incredibly short-sighted and foolish of the Times. They’ve turned a blind eye to blogs and the huge impact that citizen journalism is having in pushing [...]

They say that Ronald W. Reagan was the ‘teflon’ President. No matter what harm he caused to the country, an oval office face to the camera and a smile would do away with any ill-will that American’s felt towards him. In other words, Reagan could do no harm. Fast forward 20 years and we find [...]

This is one I would love to laugh about if it wasn’t so deeply disturbing. Or maybe Republicans in Indiana just have a hell of a sense of humor. Via Kos diary: Republican lawmakers are drafting new legislation that will make marriage a requirement for motherhood in the state of Indiana, including specific criminal penalties [...]

Again I find myself not sure what to think or say about a Bush nomination to the Supreme Court. As much as I try and not be a knee-jerk liberal, reacting negatively to everything GWB says or does, until recently he’s been batting pretty much 1.000 in terms of pissing me off. Now due to [...]
