  • Be Mine: Partisan Valentines

    Only one day left to show that you love your dearest Democrat or Republican as much as politics. Will roses do the trick? Of course they won't. But one of these partisan Valentines just might. You love healthcare. You hate war. You want change. You need something besides politics and passion as usual...

  • Good Enough Wednesday: Some Thoughts

    Oh, sweet Mitt. Mitt, Mitt, Mitt. Super Tuesday? Not so super for you, Mitt. If you're planning a very special speech today , know that Political Nanny always liked you second best among the GOP. But if you're planning on burning through another 10 acres of stacked 20s from your own personal...

    If only we could hold a sonogram wand against the belly of this election beast, the sex of the next president, and the size of his/her win, could be accurately predicted. But the campaigns are still developing, it's early in the race, and this election has crappy health insurance. We'll have...

  • Sensory Overload During N.H. Primary

    Seriously, Political Nanny is just waiting for a nationwide media meltdown. Reporters laying face down on the ground. Photographers throwing their equipment across the room. Candidates pounding their fists and bawling like babies. (That may have begun to happen already .) There's just so much going...

  • Which Candidate Gets a Taste of Your Pumpkin Pie?

    Political Nanny does not want to have a beer with her president, nor does she necessarily want any of the 2008 Election candidates at her home for Thanksgiving. Oh, they’d all certainly be welcome. But, truthfully, their presence at her Thanksgiving feast would kind of diminish her respect for them ...
