A classic election
I think that among all the outcry on this ''historic'' election (and I accept that in some aspects it was indeed historic) we tend to forget that in terms of electoral politics, it was just a textbook one. If anything, I am reminded of Tony Blair's victory over John Major in the UK in 1997. Obama's victory follows the basic rules of elections in a ...

The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

Disappointed in XX Factor
It's a Girl! Uh, so what? Groundbreaking? Only if you think that something that was done 20 years early by the other party is groundbreaking. This is not Hillary. This is not even Kathleen Sebelius, Olympia Snowe or Christine Todd Whitman. This is one very conservative politician. The only thing I have in common with this woman is a set of ...

Re: Might want to read the sources

Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

In 2004, a poll conducted by the University of Connecticut found journalists backed John Kerry over George W. ...

McCain was a Vietnamese Collaborator
http://counterpunch.org/valentine06132008.html The fact McCain doesn't represent the general population of republicans from the 70's and 80's is proven here by using retarded viral videos to slam his opponent that has nothing to do with politics. Sorry McCain, while you might seem a bit like Nixon, Obama is not Kennedy. You lose again. ...

McCain's Unhappy Warrior
This piece says one smart thing and one stupid thing. Yes, the gas price ad was dumb, as the writer recognizes. But on this point he was dead wrong: his Surge attack was dumb too, and hence the writer's statement is dumb, because it buys into the fallacious arguments that: 1) The Surge is working, because it lowered our troops' death rate in ...
