Wow -- What a Rant by "Rage Boy" Chris Hitch Today
I am perfectly content, really quite happy, about Obama's decision to have this mega-Church author, pastor, and cultural figure, Rick Warren, give the prayer at the January 20th Inauguration of our new United States President. I understand the apoplexy of ''Rage Boy'' Christopher Hitchens at the very thought of a prayer being said, let alone a ...

Re: McCain and Palin BARELY graduated college!
WoW. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It's amazing that Palin even got elected GOVERNOR never mind selected as VP! No wonder she doesn't know anything and they both seem fairly, um, well, unsophisticated (to be kind). I know who I'm voting for!

Re: McCain and Palin promote RAPE...bear with me......
Also, no comment on the other accusations? McCain did make a rape joke, did criticize Obama for trying to prevent kids from being molested, Palin does advocate banning abortion in cases of INCEST and RAPE (even incest and rape of a child, she specifically answers in regard to a 15 year old girl AND her own daughter). Come on here, am I ...

Obama’s Challenges in the Campaign’s Final Days, from A to Z
The video. This is a radically different version of my earlier video, for which I forgot to put in a disclaimer that I was not buying into the criticisms, but merely listing them. The same goes for this one, although it is more upbeat in tone. Here is the script: “A” is for [A]CORN, a group which gets out the vote. Right-Wingers have (falsely) ...

Gail Collins hits, and also misses, the mark
“Confessions of a Phone Solicitor” is the title of Gail Collins’ column in today’s New York Times. Here are some excerpts. [A] telemarketer named Ted Zoromski quit his job this week over John McCain’s message. Zoromski was prepared to nterrupt people during their dinner hours to encourage them to vote Republican. But when he got the script saying ...

Very good!!!
One must at times admit that what is laid out in front of them was done so to insult their intelligence and place this country in harms way. McCain gave us Palin... he deserves his reward.

elite
it always amuses me when i hear any self described term of superiority. i suppose if one is an accomplished hunter they would be considered part of an elite society. because elite means power, or talent or wealth. what does not amuse me is the absolutely disgusting way in which obama supporters talk about their fellow americans, calling them ...

crucial words..
...''seems to me that the Republican Party has invited not just defeat but discredit this year, and that both its nominees for the highest offices in the land should be decisively repudiated, along with any senators, congressmen, and governors who endorse them....'' Finally, the issue of consequences for the endorsers is raised. Especially, ...

Re: A sorry state
Curragh makes a similar point to mine, only better and more concisely, and provokes a longer, more confused reply from jsgilm. One that attempts to refute the charge of jingoistic irrelevance with a fresh dose of, er, jingoistic irrelevance. According to which, literary recognition is but ''a sort of phantom strength'', a poor surrogate for ...
