From The Nation, speaking of Barack Obama as a young community organizer,
Loretta Augustine-Herron, a member of the DCP board that hired him, remembers him as someone who always followed the high road. “You’ve got to do it right,” she recalls him insisting. “Be open with the issues. Include the community instead of going behind the […]

One of the more insightful posts I’ve read in a long time is Rich Cohen’s take on generational wealth in today’s HuffPost. Money quote:
“…lately it seems like we’ve become stuck with a set of characters, in a land run by the third generation — men who think the money and the power will always […]

Uninspected since Walter Mondale was Dem veep.  That’s where.  Bipartisanship at its best.  Could this be the reason that Kobe beef costs so much more than Nolan Ryan’s “beefmaster” rib eyes??? 

This simply was not possible six months ago.  For those of you out there who think that the restoration of Congressional power isn’t moving fast enough, think again.  We’re less than 90 days from the inauguration of the Democratic Congress and the noose is tightening seemingly by the hour.  Can’t wait for the Queeg/Nixon moment […]

Much is being remarked on this recent Pew poll showing a precipitous drop in Americans claiming loyalty to the Republican brand and a concurrent up-tic in those suddenly deciding to get an ass tattooed on their ass.

Pardon my skepticism, but the sooner the assumption that whoever wins the Democratic nomination will inevitably defeat whatever […]

We learned today that Anna Nicole Smith died of an accidental drug overdose. As news, this is roughly on par with “the sun rose in the East this morning,” but it’ll lead lots of newscasts nevertheless. And it will generate Internet traffic. The most popular photograph on Yahoo News this afternoon is this one: a […]

You know when Ed Gillespie shows up to spin the Casa Blanca is in deep shit.  Ironic that Mrs Bill Clinton, who worked for Watergate counsel Sam Dash, doesn’t care to cross over and start clamoring for Gonzogate.  But the Pelosi-Hilla-Boxer axis finds nobody home but dem chickens.  It can be done.  But better to go […]

Four generals will soon be implicated by a DOD investigation into the cover-up of the friendly fire death of NFL star turned Army Ranger Pat Tillman. With Congress about to cave in and green light $124 billion in warbucks for 2008 perhaps they should be reminded that several officers and enlisted personnel knew within minutes that Tillman was killed […]

I was treated this morning to a rant from a national sports-talk radio host defending Indianapolis Colts’ coach Tony Dungy, who spoke to a “pro-family” group and told them he favored an amendment to the Indiana state constitution that would outlaw same-sex marriage. “Don’t criticize him,” the host said. “He’s not bashing anyone. He’s […]

Arianna Huffington outs Dem operative Phil DeVellis as the intellectual author of the Mrs Bill Clinton “1984″ internet hate piece.  Phil was working with the Barack Hussein Obama campaign when the shit hit the fan.  As one might expect, those close to the Obama power center audaciously deny any connection between their boss and the Philster.  Will the real Manchurian Candidate please […]
