This is all getting just a bit ridiculous. The two campaigns need to get back to basics and quit the bickering.
Obama responds with his own ‘3 a.m.’ ad
Given all the attention given to the Clinton’s campaign’s phone-rings-at-3-a.m. ad yesterday, I thought it only fair to take a closer look at the Obama’s campaign’s very quick response. If you can’t watch videos online, the beginning of the clip isn’t just similar to the Clinton ad; it’s identical, showing the same house, with the same [...]

Well, the dogs are seeming to get along better. That’s a good thing. Scroll down a few posts if you want to find out what’s going on. In the meantime, a pretty darn interesting Clinton commercial. Don’t know if it’s legit, but it’s good. via The Democratic Daily…
I don’t think this is from the Clinton campaign as the HuffPo claims, but it’s very a very entertaining compilation of classic Jack Nicholson lines making a case for Hillary: [...]

I, too, am intrigued by this story out of Las Vegas; the story of the discovery of the poison Ricin in a motel. Something just wasn’t adding up. Here’s on blogger’s take on it. Quite fascinating..
The Media Paints an Impression: Ricin in Las Vegas
The “big story” in the media over the past 24 hours has been the discovery of ricin vials in a Las Vegas hotel room. While the basic narrative itself is very strange, there’s also some real weirdness in the way that the story is being reported, and catapulted into the mainstream consciousness by the legacy media. Hmmm. Remember the anthrax attacks in 2001? Whatever happened with that? [...]

Springtime! Not officially, but it sure feels like it today! I’ll be making a few posts from the deck this afternoon, nut only because it’s darn nice, but because I’m dog-sitting for our daughter’s new puppy. He’s cute, but he goes looking for every possible hole in the fence and every spot where the ground is soft enough that he could dig under. So, it’s constant supervision, at least until I feel confident that we’ve found and covered all possible escape routes! Plus, one of our dogs isn’t entirely comfortable with the pup and the two of them have had some skirmishes in the past. At this moment, all’s quiet. One of our dogs is snoozing in a bedroom upstairs, the other is occupying his regular spot on the dog bed in the family room. Pup’s laying in a spot of sunshine on the deck. They each, I guess, have their “spot”, so everything is quiet.
Not so in politics!
Another major scandal brewing for John McCain. This week, the GOP nominee got endorsed by a vehement anti-Catholic — and doesn’t seem to think it’s that big of a deal. Where’s Tim Russert now? He sure made a big deal about Farrakhan with Obama during the debate the other night. And, [...]

Credit card market a potential disaster-in-waiting.
A new report issued recently by the Center for American Progress warned that, “as borrowing in the mortgage market slows, credit card borrowing is accelerating — a dangerous trend because borrowers still face weak income growth. That means the credit card market could eventually run into the same problems that now afflict the sub-prime mortgage [...]

Are you awake, yet? Have another cup of coffee. I am. Weekends are for fun and family and getting things done. So, let’s begin with something “fun”. Jack Cafferty got some interesting responses when he asked viewers and readers to pick campaign songs for the candidates. Some took the humorous route, others were quite sincere…
FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty: Music plays an important role on the campaign trail. The right song can rally the crowd and get them pumped up before the candidate gets onstage. But, [...]
