  • Re: Yes, just blame sexism

    Although not a complete answer, but a definite dynamic in this election is America’s love-hate relationship to sex and the stereo-types that hide in the back of our brains. This can be seen in the Before Palin (B.P.) and After Palin (A.P.) variations of the poles. Although beautiful and handsome, some more so than others, no contender had ...

  • Hitch On Helms like White on Rice

    Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

  • Obama's Arrogance

    I've been reading a lot recently about Barack Obama's ''entitlement'' to everything, including the job of president. Now it appears that he thinks of himself as super-entitled to everything, compared to all of the ''mediocre'' white males who attend public colleges. This man isn't entitled to anything, particularly not my vote and support!

    While I personally lean toward Obama among Dems, I think Hillary’s remark about LBJ moving MLK’s work into legislation is spot on and is not the least bit disrespectful of MLK or any other civil rights icon. For black Americans' own sake, their visible political image has to abandon its silly and racist notion that civil rights or anything else ...

    While I personally lean toward Obama among Dems, I think Hillary’s remark about LBJ moving MLK’s work into legislation is spot on and is not the least bit disrespectful of MLK or any other civil rights icon. For it’s own sake, the American black politic has to get over the silly and racist notion that they get to command the way all other ...
