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 century [...]

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 it [...]

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 blogger, apparently [...]

So I’ve been reading all about this controversy with the cover of Ms Magazine lately.

“I Can Haz Feminism?”
Jezebel had a post today about an ongoing dispute between Ms. magazine and other self described feminists. Basically these “super feminists” are pissed that Barack Obama is on the cover of Ms. because of how he was [...]

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.

Last night on ABC News, they shared a great cartoon explaining the credit crunch. If you didn’t see it here it is to check out: ABC Video on the Credit Crunch

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, the [...]

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 that [...]

This afternoon in a showing of unity, Barack Obama was officially nominated as the Democratic Candidate for President of the United States of America in Denver.
During the roll call, where state delegations announce their votes, New Mexico yielded their time to the Illinois delegation. After announcing themselves as the home of the “next President of [...]

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 [...]

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 parents [...]

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 more [...]
