He's baaAAAaaack!


Superdell Schanze is running for mayor of Saratoga Springs.

This guy needs a platform like Imelda Marcos needs another pair of shoes. But still, this is why America is so great. A guy who some see as a certifiable nut can file and run for office anywhere in the country.

I just visited his blog. He starts off with a great gem Posted July 14th:

"SARATOGA SPRINGS — After an unsuccessful run for governor last year, Dell "Superdell" Schanze is giving politics another try with a run for mayor of Saratoga Springs.

(“unsuccessful”??? Well it takes them 3 words to start in on the negative bashing. “try”? Yet another negative and suggestive poke. These people are freaking evil."


This guy needs a thicker skin. Who is he running against? Another candidate or the media?

I wish him the best but if his first volley is a rant against the media and not about his platform or the issues I think he's going to have a hard time convincing the people of Saratoga Springs to take him seriously.

Should be entertaining to watch though...

Sotomyor Hearings - its not what you think


The Senate confirmation hearings for Judge Sonia Sotomayor begin today. Some people would have you think these hearings are about Judge Sotomyor herself, the Supreme Court, the future of the Supreme Court, or the current state of our justice system...

But they're not.

The hearings are about the Senate.

Just watch them and you'll see for yourself.
