Just About Right

Paul Krugman has got the Dem primary chase just about right, framing the candidates and this year’s election with its parallel in 1992.
“A Bush is in the White House, the economy is a mess, and there’s a candidate who, in the view of a number of observers, is running on a message of hope, of […]

Extraordinary.

60 Minutes just aired an amazing piece about the interrogation of Saddam Hussein by a very shrewd FBI field agent. Among the nuggets in this is the entire undoing of the rationale for Bush’s rain of terror. Yes, Saddam hated and feared Osama Bin Laden and would have nothing to do with al […]

Not More This, Less That

I’m not more obamagastic, I’m less clintonistic, and I’ve been trying to figure out deeper reasons than not wanting the restoration of Bill and other oft-voiced objections.

Consider this:

(Many Democrats) also respect the Clintons for being among the very few Democrats of any significance with the willingness and ability to stand up to and defeat the […]

Bill Clinton… the Ike Turner of the Democratic potty

Lurking, sandbagging, pimpin’ another copresidency. One wonders whether the Obama “victory” had more to do with ABC (anybody but Clinton) than with Barack’s bona fides. If I was Bill or Hill, I’d get me an Olan Mills franchise in the closest Wal-Mart to Mena, Arkansas

Obama on the Move

by Sasha
After his two to one massacre of Hillary Clinton in the South Carolina primary, gaining 22 delegates to her 10 as of this hour, and finding that he lead in the total delegate count 62 to 47, we find that Caroline Kennedy endorses Senator Obama in tomorrow’s Times saying

OVER the years, I’ve been deeply […]

Memories of war, memories of America

A couple of weeks ago, we, that is the American military, dropped some 40,000 pounds of bombs on the southern outskirts of Baghdad. The result was 12 arrests.
You know, our Democratic candidates keep tippy toeing around the question of the war. I think it is high time we let loose, and devastated the […]

Barack, you little nosepicker…

Go to www.google.com  now, for latest evidence supporting of Josh’s theory of media using negative imagery. I don’t think there is anything against nosepicking in the Koran (sp). But, then too, I always thought “little nosepicker” was one of those hard to find Hummel figurines made in “occupied Germany” and knocked off in “occupied Japan…”

Self-Commenting Headline of the Day

“GOP rivals depict Clinton as unworthy.” If I were riding in the GOP clown car (as Pandagon calls it), I wouldn’t be so quick to throw around the word “unworthy.”
Meanwhile, cartoonist Wiley Miller boils down the election process to its essence. The one good thing you can say about such a process is that it’s […]

He Voted Against It Before He Voted For It

“For shame, for shame.  Obama pushed the wrong button while voting in the Illinois State Legislature and cost a child welfare office millions of dollars of its funding.  Not only that, it wasn’t the first time that Obama “accidentally” pushed the wrong button.  He did it six times.  Is he that sloppy or is he […]

Why It’s Existentially Crucial that Every Dirty Twist in the HRC v Obama Battle Provoke Gut-Wrenching Moral Crises in Devout Democrats!

Because Democrats have worked with the Republicans to ensure the filthy rich will survive the economic downturn on the backs of America’s most desperate.
Because Democrats have worked with the Republicans to ensure the continuity of the surveillance state’s erosion of your civil liberties.
An acquaintance who’s Big Dem keeps telling me that this is all to […]
