Vintage Hitchens destroys Gov Palin's remains
Mr Hitchens warns us of his ire with the 2 year campaign in his 1st sentence which goes far from being soured gastric juices. A manufacturing chemist who works daily with the most toxic compounds will identiy the composition of Mr Hitchins's 1st sentence for us shortly. I wish to be enlightened. Sarah Palin's remains, political & earthly, ...

I'm Disappointed in Chris
Chris, I so enjoy disagreeing with you on almost everything (except atheism) and now you've provided a second topic with which I agree. You disappoint me. This is no fun! It does seem that, since the elder Bush administration, and arguably earlier with the Reagan administration, we've put up with either a president or a vice-president who was ...

Re: Again, what is Slate's agenda?
There is plenty of favorable reporting on McCain. He is widely known for chatting with reporters, entertaining journalists, and spending his time with editors. His biography has gotten favorable treatment in the press. And yet his politics, and worse his attachment to GOP cult members, are worrisome to any rational voter. Could it be that ...

Sorry, but I don't agree
Donna: We don't talk about the morality of universal health care, quality education for all, or a living wage. More importantly, we don't even talk about how they benefit all Americans, not just the working poor. As a friend says, ''You have to meet people where they are and bring them along.'' We refuse to do that. Obama hasn't done it and he ...

Franken on the Hill
Before we rebuild another country we need to clean our own house. By that I mean send career politicians packing, rather they be republican, democrat or an independent. Sorry this means Ted Kennedy needs to go home and fight his cancer and Oklahoma's Istook needs to return to mopping floors at the radio station. There could be worse things to ...

Let's get on with it
Both are electable. Both are relatively centrist Democrats who flirted with more progressive Democratic policies in their younger days. There is little difference between them in terms of what they would do as President, and either would be a great improvement over the current Republican sucking bog we have sunk into. They differ in identity ...

Re: No the surge is not a success
I wrote these musings in early December mostly speculating about what the Bushies may be up to with the surge. It is apparent now that what they have done is bribed their way to a slow down in the violence not through any great changes in military strategy, but through the use of dollars and arms given to various militia factions. It appears to ...

N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?
For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes! ( No, that is NOT a typo.....we DO want to pay more taxes! ) But we can't. Not in the USA. The government won't let us. Now, who the heck am I talking about? Those ...
