There are few things the Bush administration has done well except keep "the bubble" intact. No news in, no news out, give the Big Guy plenty of quasi-plausible deniability. It wasn't until well into his second term that leaks appeared, but when you run that many scams it's inevitable that ...

East Asshat, AR - Walmart executives were accused today of trying to pressure their workers to vote Republican in the fall. In one meeting, a Walmart executive reportedly said, "I am not telling you how to vote, but if the Democrats win, this bill will pass and you won't have ...

I have pretty low expectations of a Presidential campaign. If I didn't, I'd never vote. So it's pretty astounding when a candidate can break through the glass floor of my dramatically reduced expectations. This week, John McCain took a jackhammer to my E3 glass.
Negative campaigning is nothing new, but it's ...

I have an axiom I often apply to companies, but that seems to fit the presidential race pretty well too - "You only have to suck marginally less than your competitor to be a success." At this point Obama seems to be carrying the smaller bucket of suckage, but things ...

Not long ago - while Clinton and Obama were engaged in their fight-to-the death cage match - John McCain gloried in the reflected glow of the media. He gave them unprecedented access and asked the boys on the bus over for a little BBQ and beer to seal the deal. ...

John McCain can't catch a break from the New York Times these days. The Times rejected his recent equal time op-ed piece in response to an Obama piece run last week.

The NJ state Republican web site was running a banner slogan saying "Obama Loves America like OJ Loved Nicole" - boy, that's the kind of political discourse that elevates the process. Who, them racist? No "oh my God, it's a scary black man!" theme there. Subtle as a flying mallet, ...

Evangelicals seem to be odd man out this political season. Their much-vaunted voting block isn't concrete-solid this time around. McCain courts them with little success, even after gratuitously changing his official religion from those darn liberal Episcopalians to the more palatable and conservative Baptists. Obama's working the liberal evangelicals with ...

Chances are you got your job at least partially by displaying some sort of experience doing it. The experience could come from almost anywhere.
