Broadcasting from the End of the World
As a scientist, I’m always looking for ways to quantify the seemingly unquantifiable. I think it’s safe to say that Americans are, whether justifiably or not, arrogant. But what portion of Americans are arrogant? A recent CBS poll finally revealed the answer:
That’s right, 76% of Americans think they can decipher the capricious whims of Sarah [...]
Let’s go on a journey to Wasilla, Alaska, home of Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, with Jason Jones of the Daily Show.
And now let’s all throw up.
Maybe I don’t live in the mostest pro-Americaist state in the land, but guess what, Gov. Palin,
I vote that you’re an idiot.
To all of the pigs out there, sorry for this very offensive post.
My favorite two moments: 1) When Michelle Obama said, “Who names their kid Barack Obama?” 2) During the Hillary Clinton video, there was a clip of Bill Clinton speaking with the caption “Hillary’s husband”, like we wouldn’t know who it was.
Other thoughts:
I’m very curious to know what America’s opinion of Michelle Obama is compared [...]
I’ll give McCain one thing: he’s a fast learner. It was only earlier this year that he became aware of the internets, and then he said he’d learn how to use email.
Apparently he learned all about blogs also, and that people can leave comments on them. He also discovered that he could set up a [...]
Despite the fact that Hillary Clinton has only held elected office for seven years compared to about ten for Barack Obama, she is championing herself as the experience candidate. Recently she’s been touting her role in foreign policy during Bill’s presidency. FactCheck.org breaks it down, it doesn’t sound all that impressive.
One also wonders if “experience” [...]
Hillary Clinton has made a common retort to Barack Obama’s message of change that she has experience making change, to the tune of 35 years worth. We all know that she’s been a senator for the last few, so that time definitely counts, but I’m not sure how to assess her time as first lady [...]
America, you made me proud by knocking out Rudy Guiliani, while he drove in circles. Now let’s dump a couple more of these clowns. As much as I enjoy watching Mitt Romney throw money away, you republicans out there have the easy job of voting for the guy you should have been supporting all along.
Democrats [...]
When she first ran for the senate, Hillary Clinton made a mistake by saying she was a Yankees fan despite previous reports that, with her roots in Illinois, she was a Cubs fan. She later explained that the Yankees were her “American League team.” Clearly these comments were designed with the New York voter in [...]
Rudy Giuliani is carefully changing his opinion on many an issue in his presidential campaign to court the conservative voter. I get that. Does it really matter to Rudy one way or the other what the legality of abortion is? Does it really matter to him if more stringent gun control laws are passed? Unless [...]
I recently posted about the Secretary of Transportation and her opinion of bicycling as a form of transportation. I received the following response today:
Thank you for your e-mail about the importance of bicycling and walking as a form of transportation. I share your interest in a safe, efficient mullimodal transportation system. Your e-mail discussed comments [...]
