Obviously I’m not a fan of conservative radio talker Michael Savage, but I found it interesting to hear what he had to say about Sen. John McCain’s decision to choose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate (emphasis Savage’s): McCain has thrown the election. It is clear now with his choice for Vice [...] Posted by Zach on August 31, 2008, at 9:09 am
On Thursday, Wisconsin State Assembly candidate Glen Brower announced he had received a key endorsement of his candidacy for the State Assembly. The Wisconsin State AFL-CIO endorsed Brower, who issued a statement on the endorsement: ***For Immediate Release*** August 28, 2008 With the Labor Day weekend quickly approaching, Glen Brower candidate for the 21st [...] Posted by Zach on August 31, 2008, at 8:48 am
Do you know a progressive you think would make a great candidate for elected office? If so, visit Draft a Progressive and draft that person to run for office one day. If you draft someone, Draft a Progressive will post their name on the DaP website and their state staff will contact the person [...] Posted by Zach on August 30, 2008, at 5:12 pm
Yesterday marked the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s devastation of the Gulf Coast, as well as the near-destruction of New Orleans. 1,836 people were confirmed killed, with 705 more people deemed missing, and Katrina caused an estimated 81 billion dollars in damage.

I have a simple question for my 4.6 readers, and I’m hoping a few of the more conservative folks who read from time to time might weigh in with their opinions: Would you consider the following candidate to be qualified to serve as president? Candidate #1: Lawyer 4 terms in state legislature One term [...] Posted by Zach on August 30, 2008, at 9:17 am
This past Wednesday, inmate Martin Williams escaped from the custody of the Milwaukee County House of Corrections after overpowering the lone corrections officer escorting him to a doctor’s appointment at St. Luke’s in Milwaukee. Williams was caught six hours later during a traffic stop, and when he was arrested he was in possession of [...] Posted by Zach on August 29, 2008, at 10:23 pm
Now obviously I’m not privy to what Republican Sen. John McCain was thinking when he chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, but as I’ve spent the day thinking about this choice, it strikes me as more than a little curious. Putting aside Palin’s thin resume – which makes Democratic nominee Barack [...] Posted by Zach on August 28, 2008, at 10:19 pm
NIGHT 1: First thought – there’s a reason these folks aren’t speaking in prime time. Boy, there’s some really terrible public speakers in the group, and it makes me wonder how some of these folks got elected to public office. Next thought – Alexi Giannoulias (Illinois State Treasurer) might be the exception. He gave [...] Posted by Zach on August 28, 2008, at 6:56 pm
Deke Rivers is wondering if Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is Senator John McCain’s choice as a running mate, and I’m wondering the same thing. Pawlenty has canceled media interviews he had previously been scheduled to do, and Minnesota news outlets are speculating Pawlenty’s the choice. Personally, I think the selection of Pawlenty as Sen.

Predictably, some conservatives are poking fun at Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s decision to give his acceptance speech in front of a faux “Greek temple” at Mile High Stadium. As a point of reference, here’s a photo of the “temple:” To me, it looks more like a mockup of the Lincoln Memorial or [...] |
