Obama’s refuting Wes Clark’s candid and accurate assessment of McCain’s military qualifications might have just cost him the election. Here’s why. This is an exact replication of the events sent both Gore and Kerry into their respective slides and sent clear signals to the Pugs that the Dems just weren’t ready to mix […]

I know, there he goes again: if he can’t trash Hillary, he will trash Hillary supporters. Here is a case on point. Wesley Clark, a fixture of the Hillary Clinton campaign, has taken it upon himself to question John McCain’s lack of military leadership experience. He says McCain is a hero, but he was only […]

OK, we have been writing about how bad things have gone under Bush. But what to do?
First of all, drought. If we do not move fast, we will lose the American states of Alabama, Georgia, and both North and South Carolina to desertification. The problem is that the Atlanta heat island has pushed rainfall from […]

You know, I remember back to Richard Nixon. He was not tried, and the Nation moved on. At first, I thought, well perhaps we should not put Bush and Cheney on trial. I felt that we would have enough troubles in the future. But thinking of these coming troubles, Peak Oil and Global warming, they […]

I thought about doing this as a response to Josh’s post, but it was going to be too long. Yes, Obama needs to be elected over McCain, but to make that the sole focus and the only issue, at least for me, transfers the unitary theory of the executive from the criminal asshole and […]

It didn’t take long to get personal. John McCain, who has broken his promise to stay on the issues and not get personal, has just said that “you can’t trust Barack Obama” because he broke his word on accepting public financing for his campaign. McCain, the Arizona trickster, in native American archetype terms, has gone […]

Catherine says, “Let’s talk about the real issues”, all in caps. Sandy and Amos in their comments below about “empty symbolism” said the same thing. Don’t gossip. Don’t talk about personality. Just focus on “real” issues. So what are the real issues and what can you or I do about it? What can Obama or McCain do […]

With all his attention focused on his legacy, Bush is trying to clean up the mess he made when he pronounced Iraq, Iran and North Korea as the “axis of evil”. By playing nice with North Korea after their PR stunt today, blowing up their nuclear plant, Bush will now claim that he has fixed […]

Can I remind everyone excoriating Obamawful (dibs BDR!) over FISA that we who are excoriating Obamawful over FISA are despised by most and disdained by all but us’uns? We are the relative at family reunions who generates involuntary oh-shit facial reactions when first seen by mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws.
Even […]

Pretty tacky. The Obamas giving Clinton the max they can give personally, $4600, is lacking in symbolism. In addition to the limit on personal  contributions, his campaign should have given her campaign $1 milion, about 10 percent of her campaign debt, exclusive of the Clintons’ personal loan. That would have been a gesture with strong […]
