God and Mammon

September 1, 2008 20:59 by matthewcain
Check out Woot's top ten list for the RNC (here).  My personal favorite is #6, with "repeated attempts to serve both God and Mammon."  To be fair, Woot had a separate, special list for the Dems at well (here).  I am, however, partial to biblical references that seem to ring true for people like, say, John McCain.

McCain taps...

August 29, 2008 11:02 by matthewcain

The word "tap" has numerous meanings.  Tap your finger.  Open the tap.  Tap dance.  But, give it a male subject and a female object, and you give it a very specific meaning.  Yahoo news listed this on headlines today.  Click through to the article, and they apparently changed it to "chooses". 



Update: A Google search on "McCain taps" produces results from ABC News, NPR, and Politico.  Is every news writer over 40, or am I just being low brow on this?

Frank Schaeffer and moving left

August 23, 2008 14:00 by matthewcain

Frank Schaeffer, having moved from his pro-life roots to supporting the pro-choice Obama, recently wrote this letter to Republicans and pro-lifers (here).  Schaeffer makes an excellent point in indicating that political strategy alone is not the answer to lowering the number of abortions.  He believes that America with Obama as president will be much more conducive to lowering abortions as well as promoting peace and pro-American sentiment in the world.

 

 


McCain cheated too

August 14, 2008 12:22 by matthewcain

John Edwards' political career has arguably been undermined by the exposure of his affair two years ago.  John McCain also had an affair, which, until now, has received very little media exposure.  Can we trust someone who hasn't been faithful to his wife to lead our country? Thanks Digg

Si Se Pueda?

February 22, 2008 19:35 by matthewcain

They say everything is big in Texas, and with the democratic primary coming up, this is proving to be true.  The stakes are big, and even bigger for Hillary who is faced with must wins and must landslides in Texas and Ohio.  But her desperation is showing through with some of her attacks and claims on Obama.  Let's just take a look at one of them, shall we?  At the Austin debate,  the question was raised whether or not Obama plagiarized a line from his own National Co-Chair who told him to include it in his speech.  Clinton claims this is "xeroxing hope".  However, Hillary's seems to feel just fine with her xeroxing Obama's campaign slogan.

What's worse is that Hillary obviously doesn't know Spanish.  "Puede" is the indicative, but "pueda" is the subjunctive.  Not that "si se pueda" is proper Spanish, but it sounds more like she's saying "What if it could be done?"  Sounds like a cry of desperation to me...poorly plagiarized desperation.
