Bill Maher is my hero! Last nights show simply reminded me of that fact. While one could argue that his acerbic tongue alienates the religious right and those voters who might be persuadable, I’ve come to the conclusion that it may be the only way to fight a war with ideological fanatics. Honestly, in the course of an hour, Maher’s program did more to refute the nonsense spewed by the GOP and their Christian allies ...

I also do not wish to compare Palin ...

Given the warnings he’s heard about naming a pro choice Vice President, McCain might seem to be in a box.

Last night, I attended the Media Welcoming Party, held at Elitch Gardens in Denver…the same venue (relocated) that played a role 100 years prior during the 1908 Democratic National Convention.
