Giuliani’s 60/40

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments

OK, I don’t normally like Michael Moore but I did enjoy this publicity stunt mocking former Mayor Giuliani. As much as I dislike Giuliani’s aggressive, uncompromising foreign policy, I do think he did a pretty good job cleaning up New York City. Those good deeds aside, I thought this video was hilarious.

Ron Paul: Foreign Policy

September 9th, 2007 · No Comments

OK, I have held out long enough. Let’s talk about Ron Paul.
If you haven’t heard the name before, than you are part of a large but rapidly shrinking group of voters. Ron Paul is difficult to describe. He’s a Republican but, as a libertarian, his beliefs are increasingly out-of-line with current Republican […]
