I’m going out of town tomorrow morning. I’ll be back on Tuesday, but then I’ll be away again next weekend. Don’t expect me to have much time to say anything about the Republican’s convention, as I won’t really be around. Worse yet, don’t expect me to say much about Obama’s big speech tonight, as I’m [...]

BarbinMD points to a statement by Barack Obama that pretty much sums up everything we need to know about the Bush/McCain Republican Party.

Barack Obama responded almost immediately to President Douchebag’s appeasement nonsense (as I would have noted in my previous post had that been the point I was making at the time):
