  • Arugula for victory

    Another point for arugula: it grows like a weed, at least in central Texas. Here in rural Brazos County, this pointy-headed professor has a self-seeding patch of the tasty green in his backyard; the homegrown has a bit more zest to it than the supermarket stuff. Obama should proudly reclaim the A-word, which, if you think about it, is emblematic ...

  • 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 ...

  • That Press Call Was About More Than Lawyers Scuffling

    You've found a good lede, but missed the real point: Clinton's willing to make false allegations against Obama, right before newspaper deadlines to dominate a full news cycle, and made it clear that if they lost Texas (or maybe just its caucus portion) they would litigate to stall the results until the Convention -- and then they'll work the ...

Later, watching from afar, I see Obama has ...

  • Re: Making the Tough Decisions

    It is good to hear that Obama has sought out advisors to help him form campaign strategy. The problem is, we do not get to vote for the advisors he will use once elected. Every President needs a good team of advisors, no one can run the country for four years without some sound advise. However, there come times, when the President must act ...

  • Obama regret

    I voted for Barack Obama. I'm from Massachusetts and thought this guy had something to offer and some charisma. Much to my regret I just do not hear any substance from him. He needs to get real real fast. It's too late for me to go for Hilary but I invite anyone who can still choose to see beyond the charisma and rhetoric. We are going to wind up ...
