Failure to Admit Blagojevich Appointee to Senate Big Mistake
Failure to Admit Illinois Governor Blagojevich's Appointee, the eminently qualified and well reputed Roland Burris, to the United States Senate will prove to be a supremely Big Mistake made by the Democratic Senate Leadership and yes, Barack Obama. News today is that the U.S. Senate will seat 59 Democratic Senators, including their Candidate ...

Goodbye "Reagan Dems" & Good Riddance to Pollster Greenberg
“Goodbye Reagan Democrats” is the title of a rather vitriolic column by pollster Stanley Greenberg in the Nov. 11th New York Times. Brian Dickerson has a good column in the Nov. 12th Free Press, responding to it. Here are some excerpts from Greenberg‘s column. I’m finished with the Reagan Democrats of Macomb County in suburban Detroit after ...

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!

Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..
... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

Liberal Media Lies
Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away. Political logic augurs a democratic triumph? Augur: To predict, especially from signs or omens; foretell. What signs or omens are they looking ...

This has to be parody!
I read the blurb for this story on another site and thought I was going to be redirected to The Onion. For years, the pundits that be have been telling us that we need to have a “national conversation about race.” I suppose we’re having it now. And what we’re learning, is that a lot of us are neurotic ninnies about the subject. It’s ...

Obama's Reparations
Lately, I have been having conversations about a topic of profound significance to me. Essentially, I believe that if (probably when) Obama becomes president, as the masterful communicator that he is, he will be able to bring the issue of reparations for slavery into the national consciousness. For too long the issue of reparations has been ...

Not an utterly pointless fight
Webb's shouldn't have been concerned about hurting Jr's feelings. His concern was for his child and his disdain for an idiot war (chief) is valid and founded. Obama and the Demos need a few more with a Webb-like background in order to add some gravitas to a light party. We could stand to learn a few leasons about not letting stupid people push ...

Obama's unconscious loathing of America
Obama would appear to be the very embodiment of hubris. However, that hubris masks a deeply conflicted individual riven with intense resentments. As he attempts to conceal his (record of) disdain for mainstream (''white'') Americans we ought to bear in mind that he has always gotten through the door so to speak, because he was a charismatic, ...

It's Ours If We Unite; But Who Have We Become?
I confess at the outset that I am an Obama supporter. I suppose all active democrats are now supporters of one of the candidates; it is difficult to be neutral. I have made the argument for weeks that Obama cannot lose and that superdelegates should move now to Obama to avoid further bleeding. Before this week, the bleeding I was referring to ...
