An hour of liveblogging and I’m ending with Dennis Hastert conceding the Speaker of the House. We’re losing a lot of neck beards. I may have spoken too soon on Virginia.

More reasons to get out and vote

In: Politics

The Rolling Stone article I mentioned yesterday is one of the most damning articles I’ve read about the current political situation in the United States today. If you need a reason to vote, there is no better reason than to clean up the mess.
From the Rolling Stone article:
And the cost? Republicans in the Clinton [...]

Well tomorrow is the big day. The right to complain about the jobs our elected officials are doing is gained by simply spending the 15 minutes it takes to vote. All the dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq, spending, partisanship is all moot if you don’t vote.
Tomorrow I will be voting against [...]

Politics - Heartland Style

In: Politics, bigotry

I’m in Indiana tonight and so I get to see a whole different type of political commercial - the heartland commercial.  A commercial for Dr. Tom Hayhurst (his site hides if he’s a Republican or Democrat - which means he’s a Republican).

About this blog

Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.
