I’m surprised and encouraged by the early response. Will you vote for me? 

Not good news for McBush, but I love it. Meanwhile, the message to Obama is don’t push the change thing too hard. Go back to “Yes, we can” and drop “Change You Can Believe In”. Reportedly, Obama favors this emphasis. His other option is to spell out what he means by “change”, and I expect […]

In 1964, the Surgeon General issued the first warning about the dangers of cigarette smoking. Now 44 years later, people still smoke and teenagers continue to be the worst offenders. In the 20th Century about 100 million people died from smoking: that number is projected to jump to 1 billion in this century. Facts and research did […]

The oil problem is a problem that we have behaved ourselves into. We are the demand side of the equation, and until we change, not what we say, but what we do, the problem will not go away or be fixed. The current spike in gas prices does not mean the end of the automobile, […]

Lost in Clark’s upstage yesterday was another strong and compelling and defining speech by Obama, this time on patriotism, ironically defining it much the way Clark did four years ago. Only sound bites and excerpts are available now for the most part. Too bad. But just in time, for those who love good writing and good […]

The best thing about the Obama campaign so far is that he has seemed to understand that cowering in fear of being attacked is no way to run for president. His airy tossing-off of James Dobson’s loony Bible rant last week was a great example of the way modern campaigning should be done. This week, […]

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 […]
