Failure to Admit Blagojevich Appointee to Senate Big Mistake
Failure to Admit Illinois Governor Blagojevich's Appointee, the eminently qualified and well reputed Roland Burris, to the United States Senate will prove to be a supremely Big Mistake made by the Democratic Senate Leadership and yes, Barack Obama. News today is that the U.S. Senate will seat 59 Democratic Senators, including their Candidate ...

Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..
... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

This has to be parody!
I read the blurb for this story on another site and thought I was going to be redirected to The Onion. For years, the pundits that be have been telling us that we need to have a “national conversation about race.” I suppose we’re having it now. And what we’re learning, is that a lot of us are neurotic ninnies about the subject. It’s ...

Obama can "Talk the Talk... but can he Walk the Walk?"
When it comes to speeches and motivating those poor neglected ignorant Democrats... Obama is the King!! Throughout the campaing, he has change position on issues several times and more so than McCain.

Um, you miss the point(s)
''No question he's made mistakes. But his fatal flaw, according to her, is that he is not as skilled as she in answering Republican attacks (with more of the same). You may not like this type of ''politics,'' but I think it is brilliant on Clinton's part. It pulls out all the fear from Republicans well ahead of November, diminishing their ...

Re: :-)
Democrats and Republicans have been hashing it out, sharing the power, and screwing the American public for over a hundred years. If you believe ANY politician who has been in office: You might be an idiot. The time has come for the American people to tell these 2 ELITIST groups to back off and stop running us into the ground. No one party is ...

The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .
. . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...

Seriously?!
Hillary Clinton won using a classic tactic - crying. While I don't think it was insincere, I think she let herself go to a place she would not have gone had she been winning in the polls. As for Gloria Steinem's excellently timed piece (to generate even more sympathy for Hillary; were the crying and the op-ed piece perhaps synchronized?) - yes, ...
