With the smell of politics in the air we are compelled to support the Calexico/Giffords ticket for congress with a 48-hour campaign road-trip. First a stop at Martin’s on Fourth Avenue for a fuel-up before the event just up the street at the Rialto theatre.
Dinner for me was a chicken mole [...]

Why don’t I feel sorry for our country’s gasoline addiction woes? Are you telling me you didn’t see this coming years ago? Oh, I must be one of those smug liberals who thinks they know it all. Ha! That’s a good one. Guess what? I get “sarcasm” too! Even when the joke’s on me, I [...]

Lost my wallet in San Francisco. Extended my stay by a couple of days. Instead of watching Project White House take Arizona by storm, I’m serenaded by Marching Oabama boosters, chanting Obama-isms up and down Market and around Union Square. Luckily they drown out the Jesus-freak attempting to save tourists with his tale of misfortune [...]

For a moment I thought CNN had seen the light. Now all of my posts are blocked, completely! The moderators at Political Ticker prefer racist, and sexist assaults on the candidates rather than a mention of Project White House. If you spew hate and your names sounds American, you’re cool. Arizona is not important to [...]

Funny thing happened the last few days. I’ve been commenting around the major news blogs trying to drum up support or at least attention for Project White House 08. I’m not a paid agent of the Project. I just want to get the word out about this historic attempt at using the democratic process. I [...]

January 19th marks the end of another fine week at Project White House 08. The campaigns are moving right along. Especially active are candidates Doctress Eutopia (D) and Sean CF Murphy (R). Both have honored us with a barrage of YouTube video postings as well as setting up candidate “stores” on CafePress.com. But they’re not [...]

Anyone else tired of this look?
I wonder if 38 year-old Shepard Fairey was aware of the visual phenom he would start when he designed Obama’s iconic posters. The art is a nice mix of Communist propaganda and graffiti stencil styles in muted blues and the Commie red, all in the “big face” trademark of OBEY GIANT. I truly enjoyed its [...]
