I’ve been thinking about skunks more often than normal lately. It’s been at least 20 years since I’ve been around a live skunk. Girl Dog is the one who keeps bringing skunks to mind. When she boogers the cats, she starts by stomping her front feet simultaneously. [...]

Ever since Rachel Maddow started appearing regularly on MSNBC, I (and lots of other people) have been saying that they should give her her own show. Well, they finally did it! Starting on September 8th she’ll take over Dan Abrams’ time slot. Rachel Maddow is super [...]

To remind you that no matter who Obama chooses as his running mate, it WILL BE A SLAP IN THE FACE.
You know I am right. Consider this your open thread.

Let me preface my remarks by saying that I am a firm believer that the national polling really does not matter until after the second convention. When both candidates have chosen their VP and held their conventions, then I think we will really get a good idea [...]

Seth Martin directed “Johnny Boy,” his own “Reservoir Dogs,” set in Huntington, WV. For 80 minutes we watch a film that shows the underbelly of a town now famous for a lot of real murders and drug busts. Like my friend Allen Toney said, “You can stand on some [...]

This morning is Buddy’s first day back at school and I am already loving it.
I keep myself on a fairly strict schedule, which is strange. I mean, I could lounge around all summer on the couch and never get a shower. Buddy stays up [...]

Reviews by Susan’s daughters, ages 7 and 10, respectively, are a special feature of today’s post. Perhaps they can snag recurring roles on Fork You.

Instead of going out and talking to real people in WV-02 to see what they think, Jake Stamp of the Republican newspaper the Charleston Daily Mail rounds up political pundit Larry Sabato in Virginia to ask him what he thinks of the race. Sabato [...]

Anytime you have a first meeting, it’s a bit nerve wracking. Our first general meeting this past Sunday went off with out a hitch though. Sure there could have been 15 more people there (and should have been) but those who were there left with a positive [...]

Kevin Drum is moving to MoJo, Steven Benen is moving to the Washington Monthly.

A recent National Public Radio piece on the “hidden” half-sister of Cindy McCain yielded this tidbit about their father, James Hensley:
Documents show Kathleen Anne Hensley was born to Jim and Mary Jeanne Hensley on Feb. 23, 1943. They had been married for six years [...]

Snorted coffee out of my nose when I read it. Could it really be? Could Kent Gates (Spokesbot-PA) really have done it?
New e-mail from Shelley’s campaign accusing Anne of lying. New screw-up by the formerly well-oiled Capito machine.
Kent writes:

In its editorial yesterday, The Charleston Daily Mail continues the defense of Governor Manchin and his filing of the amicus brief in the Spelter case. As I first scanned the editorial, something in its third paragraph really “jumped off the page”:

Sometime this week everyone is saying that Obama will pick his running mate. There has been great speculation as to who that person might be. I have at times speculated in this blog as to who that person might be, and I am sure that my [...]

First, the VP update…
* If you’re starved for Dem VP news here’s a good summary of overnight speculation along with a slightly more substantive news article. The Obama campaign confirmed the “text message” news drop could come as early as this morning. [...]
