Mike Gravel’s Blog

Mike Gravel a.k.a. the filibustering Frenchie (born to French-Canadian immigrants) is best known for his five-month long talking-fest in 1971 that forced Nixon to end the draft. The high point of the filibuster was when he taught fellow Senators how to make a gingerbread house without graham crackers. Though his chances of winning the democratic bid are slim, he has already caused a stir.

I want to individually thank every one of my supporters

CNN, or as I like to call it: Chaucer, Nietzsche, and Nabobov

By Mike Gravel

Bio & Blog

CNN has decided to change its fickle mind and grant me a chance to meet unspecified criterion to participate in their debate.

The following quote pasted below is from my full response;

What was Orwellian in my not meeting certain criteria which the media organizations would not divulge becomes Kafkaesque when I am now told that I have not been excluded and can still be invited if I meet this mysterious criteria.

Don't let him charm you: Barack Obama will usher in nuclear armageddon

By Mike Gravel

Bio & Blog

You may or may not have been watching when I took Obama to task in front of the nation for his secret nuclear agenda. I don’t really care if you were watching me humiliate Obama or if you were watching “Planet Earth: The Deep Sea,” but guess what? You could have Tivo’d one of them and watched it later. When I asked Obama who the the hell he’s going to nuke, it wasn’t a rhetorical question, it was a real inquiry — and a non-crazy one at that.

“I’m not planning on nuking anyone right now, Mike, I promise,” Obama deadpanned while mugging for the cameras. Funny, funny. Did Richard Pryor coach you on your comedic delivery? It might be funny if it wasn’t blatantly a lie, Barack. I think the American people have the right to know what nation states are on your hit list. I’ll tell you something, the United Arab Emirates is (or are) on mine.
