[?]Written by Michael Vass
As with all the prior debates of the candidates involved in the 2008 Presidential election, I present the complete video of the 3rd debate between Senators McCain and Obama.
This was the most interesting debate of all 3. Yet I must state that 3 debates are far too few. [...]

8-ball poolshot dilema
Rating 3.50 out of 5
[?]Written by Michael Vass
My choice was a reverse bank (or kick shot) to the corner which then leaves the cue perfectly positioned for the 8-ball. But the problem is that this would also leave the opponent in a prime position to run the table.
Now several of my teammates prefer a defensive [...]

Never let it be said that I do not pay attention to the tradidions and symbols of the South. Beyond my rememberance of Rosewood, The Tuskegee Experiments, Jim Crow laws and similar events and actions there are my multiple posts about slavery and reparations (found at Vass and [...]

This is a powerful speech, and could be what helps to create history. Do you think it will usher in a new age of Camelot, a different better path for America? Ted Kennedy does.

Hint: it was 2006
“So the Democrats have won the mid-term elections. Yea for them. Now what? I mean this seriously. What exactly is the Democratic platform on Iraq. No longer can the statement “we need a change” be [...]

What Presidential candidates would say if they were honest
Rating 4.00 out of 5
[?]Written by Michael Vass
Taking a moment to reflect on the Presidential race, all of the comments debate and punditry that has gone on since the beginning of the year, I was sitting back and remembered something. The television show, The West Wing, had probably the best debates and political competition I [...]
Insulting and racist Swift Kids for Truth ad
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Written by Michael Vass
This is an example of base, derogatory, humorless, filth on the internet and television. As bad as some campaigns or political debates may be these days, this goes one step lower. It is the equal of the MoveOn.org ad and leaves me saddened that our national politics have [...]

Do you think San Francisco officials would defend the nation?
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Michael Vass, a contributing author.
I wonder if the local San Francisco government officials have ever seen A Few Good Men. I would imagine that George Soros has not.
The reason I ask is this quote by Col. Jessup :
“And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, [...]
Was Columbia right?
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Written by Michael Vass
The President of Iran was allowed to speak at Columbia College yesterday. There were protests, and he was asked tough questions. He ignored the protest, and avoided answers to the questions.
So what was the net effect? Soundbites on an international level, edited by those not favorable to the [...]

I’m No Racist But ….
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Sorry, I’m no racist but why does it seem that people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson show up everywhere where there is a current event of racial tension?

Bush’s Fall Guy - Blackwater USA
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]For the entire term of the Bush Administration, President Bush has received horrendous advice from the people around him.
If he was smart, he’d now assume the position of finding a fall guy. That fall guy is Blackwater USA. There is a real possibility that the Blackwater USA contractors, the same group [...]
Guess OJ’s bail
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Mr. Michael Vass, a contributing author.
Any bets on the OJ bail amount? The average amount for the charges he has tend to be about $150,000.
My guess is $1 million. I’d say it’s 20-1 that the bail is higher.
Any other guesses?
Democrats and MoveOn.org
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Mr. Michael Vass, a contributing author.
As life continues, news on the MoveOn.org smear of General Petraeus is being lessened. But what sticks in my mind is one comment by Senator John McCain. Regardless of your political leanings, you have to consider it.
Sen. McCain essentially stated (I am paraphrasing as [...]
