Today, Fox News and the Washington Post, among others, are still having a problem with Obama and his response to Dr. Jeyll and Reverand Wright. The Post’s editorial says the issue now is Barack’s judgment. He shoulda done this long ago. Tomorrow it will be that Barack is left-handed.
A while back I posted that missteps should […]

Senator McCain is making speeches. And some of the things he says are Zowies.
While we Democrats are nit picking over Barack and Hillary, and allowing the media to do the same, McCain is staking out his position, and it sounds scary. Frankly, what Barack’s pastor says does not scare me, but Senator McCain re-igniting the […]

I think all of us who can recall the 1950’s (OK, I was a little tyke, but I saw the movies) know what the game of “chicken” is. Two cars full of screaming teenagers go at each other at high speed, the first one to pull the wheel and steer out of the […]

As George Wallace was fond of saying, “there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between them”, meaning the Pugs and the Dumbos. Has Hillary proven the point on her support of a temporary suspension of the federal tax on gas, supported by McBush but opposed by Barack, or is this the kind of hands-on leadership […]

Obama just said this about Jeremiah Wrong: “His comments were not only divisive … but I believe that they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate.”
“Whatever relationship I had with Reverend Wright has changed as a consequence of this,” Obama said.

I call on Obama to make a second! race speech in wake of Jeremiah Wright’s latest outrageous statements! Obviously Obama’s first race speech, lauded as one of the most important speeches in American history, is now obsolete.
Obama’s sausage. He’s sausage if he embraces Wright, he’s sausager if he denounces Wright, he’s sausagest if he dances […]

In The Assault on Reason Al Gore writes,
Consider the rules by which our present public forum now operates and how different they are from the norms our Founders knew during the age of print. Today’s massive flows of information are largely in only one direction. The world of television makes it virtually impossible for individuals […]

In thinking about the new/old politics dichotomy that has appeared in full bloom here at BoB, it occurs to me that it is a distinction without a difference. Here’s why: There can be no “new politics” (whatever the hell that means) until there is a new media. Until the media is either […]

What’s corrosive about the racism coming from the Clorg is while it may not be as grossly overt as what would come from the Right in October against Obama, it might neutralize the advantage to Obama of grossly and overt racist attacks against him in October.
As for Little Red Riding Hood, maybe the media is […]

One thing I have consistently found objectionable about the Bush administration is its either/or thinking and its use of false choices to advance a policy or strategy. Bush does this all the time and he gets away with it all of the time. It is in part against this background that Barack Obama’s new politics […]
