Is It Monday Already?

I couldn’t help myself. I watched the American presidential debate last night. That after a day of family activities to celebrate Thanksgiving (which is today here). I figured I would finish the post I had planned for today once the debate was over. But the baseball game between the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays […]

The Debate Goes On

The second of three American Presidential debates is tonight. To say this has been the strangest election season on record is probably an understatement. I noticed in the news yesterday that Donald Trump’s running mate issued a statement denouncing him. Somehow I don’t think that has been done before; usually the presidential and vice-presidential candidates […]

The Day After

No political commentary today. If you are interested in politics or world affairs, you probably watched last night’s first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. If you are a supporter of ether candidate, you probably need something to brighten your day. If you don’t care about politics, and weren’t among the record television […]

Debate Night

The first presidential debates of the 2016 American election is tonight. By midnight we should have a pretty good idea as to who is going to top the ballot on November 8. Usually my opinion on these things is that debates don’t really matter as long as you play a good defence. A politician doesn’t […]

Dinner With “The Donald”

The man sends me emails pretty much every day. I usually don’t bother to read them. But this one was different. I’d love to meet you for dinner, Friend. You and a friend could win a trip to have dinner with me at one of our fundraisers as honorary guests. All I’m asking is that […]

The Bumper Sticker

I was driving, so I couldn’t just whip out a camera and take a picture, no matter how much I wanted to. But driving through New Hampshire, or maybe it was Vermont, I saw Hillary Clinton’s worst nightmare. Clinton should win the American presidential election by a landslide. That’s not only conventional political wisdom, it’s […]

Rigging The Vote

I’d say he’s gone too far this time, but of course he hasn’t. For Donald Trump there is no such thing as “too far.” I really had planned on giving US politics a rest in this space for a couple of weeks, but some things can’t go unchallenged, and one of those things is Trump’s […]

Up or Down – Your Choice

I don’t have a say in the matter and don’t want to take sides (or at least not yet), but this was too clever not to bring you your attention.

Russian Influence

I laughed when the suggestion was first made that the Russian government was behind the computer hack that revealed Democratic Party emails showing that the party brass, instead of being neutral in the campaign, favoured the candidacy of Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. I couldn’t take the allegation seriously that the Russians, acting on the […]

Conventions

The American Democratic Party is meeting in Philadelphia this week to nominate Hillary Clinton as their presidential candidate. Last week the Republicans met in Cleveland and nominated Donald Trump. The real election campaign can now begin. I didn’t watch any of the televised coverage of the Republican convention. I can’t think why I would watch […]
