When Massachusetts residents hit the polls to elect a new senator today, some will likely have this image in mind. Republican candidate Scott Brown was named “America’s Sexiest Man” in the June 1982 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. At the time, Brown was a 22-year-old law student at Boston College. Here’s what Cosmo had to say: [...]

President Obama sent heads spinning earlier this year by giving the Prime Minister of Britain a gift that some deemed hardly worthy in comparison to the gift that the Prime Minister gave to the President. The Prime Minister, if you recall, gave the President Obama a pen holder crafted from the timbers of the 19th [...]
The First Puppy Arrives!
April 13, 2009 Leave a Comment
From the moment President Obama first promised his two young daughters a puppy, many Obama supporters have been waiting patiently for the first puppy to arrive. Speculation the past few months was that the girls would get either a labradoodle or a Portugese Water Dog – the main criteria of the dog would be that [...]
The Politics of Weight

Megan McCain might be my hero. Apparently Laura Ingraham criticized her for implying that Republicans should compromise with Democrats. Ingraham, according to CNN, called McCain “a Valley Girl gone awry” and a “plus-sized model.” So, McCain, who has portrayed a campaign from a unique perspective, and become a – what I would consider – respected [...]

Talking Points Memo, when I looked at their electoral map earlier, had 278 electoral votes – solidly or leaning Democrat with 132 solidly or leaning Republican and 128 toss ups.

So for those of you who are invested in the markets, today is not looking good for you. Then again, the past few days have not been so good for many people especially if you do your banking with any of the failing banks that seem to be popping up left and right. This afternoon, [...]

As you may or may not know, the two men currently running for President are both sitting US Senators. Therefore, it should not have been a surprise when Senator John McCain (R-AZ) suspended his campaign this afternoon and asked to postpone Friday night’s scheduled Presidential debate taking place at Ole Miss due to the current [...]

As a woman, I take offense to the tactics being used by the media to accuse Alaska Governor Sarah Palin of being incapable of balancing motherhood and the vice-presidency should she be elected to the White House alongside Arizona Senator John McCain this November. While I may disagree with her politics, I have to admit [...]

A report from the Las Vegas Review Journal had left rumors swirling that a Bruce Springsteen concert would be following Senator Obama’s acceptance speech on Thursday evening. Leaving Republicans already critical of his ‘celebrity’ eager for the opportunity to accuse Obama of being out of touch with the average American. Unfortunately, for those thousands who [...]
DNC Day 1 – Michelle Obama
Aug. 25, 2008 Leave a Comment
Michelle Obama has been described by many as a “firecracker.” Now when I hear that, I think of Teresa Heinz Kerry. A strong woman who isn’t afraid to speak her mind, people act like that’s such a bad thing. To me? It’s inspiring. She has a strong and respectable background, coming from a family with [...]
DNC Day 1 – the Kennedy Tribute

The Kennedys. Oh, bless their hearts. I’m sorry, I love Caroline Kennedy, but she just…isn’t a great public speaker. Slightly monotone, lacking excitement. Speaking about her uncle, who since a young age was like a father to her, and walked her down the aisle the day she got married, you’d think she’d be a bit [...]
