I made no secret of the fact that I thought the first presidential debate was roughly a tie. This one, however, wasn’t even close. Biden moidelized Palin tonight. There will doubtless be some who think that by virtue of not making a complete ass of herself, Palin chalked up a “win” of sorts; and that [...]

Obama in the Wild
Posted in Culture, Energy, Environment, General, Media, News & Current Events, Politics on October 2, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Through a bizarre sequence of random surfing I found myself on the Website of Field & Stream Magazine, which is running an interview with Barack Obama.
