  • He Must Be Powerless: I Felt Sorry Today for Bush!

The experience was almost mystical. I had felt such strong anger and seething antipathy toward him since I was a child that I didn't know if I could cope without ...

  • Wow- just a little slanted? Palin terrific reform alternati

    This must be the well-balanced part; half arguing why Obama, and the other half why not McCain. So- McCain claiming that Palin is qualified to sit in reserve now means that Obama is also qualified?

B is for ''too Black or not black enough,'' is he the former or the latter, and If we've transcended race, does it really matter?

We refuse to do that. Obama hasn't done it and he ...
