The only thing left for the MSM to predict is their own job security. And Howard Dean thought the long march to the convention would benefit his potty. The unofficial innaguration takes place in about 12 hours. All’s left to predict is how much money will it take to get Chuck Berry to play an innaugural shindig. Why did Hanoi John win?  […]

This an answer to Josh’s post about how Hillary, or Barack, could debate John McCain.
With the truth. Many Americans have been lulled into a form of complacency that the surge has produced actual results. It has not. It has merely caused the warring parties, the Sunni and the Shia, to call a […]

In the midst of the discussion about the Bradley Effect and whether Hillary’s tears were contrived or spontaneous, the pivotal events march on by the minute. A couple of things: Bush is positioning himself as the savior of the Middle East and thinks he’s brokered a real Israeli/Palestinian peace accord. Is that […]

My interest in the Iowa caucuses stems from having lived there for most of two decades. I take mild offense at all the inbred-pig-farmer jokes made by people dissing the caucuses, although many of those same jokers are spot-on about the blinding cultural whiteness of the place. I’ve been to New Hampshire once in my […]

Yo Fred…one more reason Huckabee is trending to be the Bushco-Rove replacement “decider”

Like Bob Dillon said before he reconverted to Judaism and moved back to Balibu (sorry, I’ve got a cold today), you don’t need to be a Jesuit to know which way the wind blows…  He might not win, but he won’t fumble.  Who will be his running mate on an indie ticket?

There are a handful of politicians running around the country on private jets, indebted- in many ways- to contributors, pretending to play the scripted role of the next “decider” for a post post-industrial, supersized, recession-in-denial democratic corporativist nation formerly known as the “United” States.  As the “war” continues to drain the national economy, a Democratic White House would face the […]

On Face the Nation yesterday Bob Schieffer pinned the Massachusetts governor against the ropes and pummeled him with question after question about his Mormon (LDS) faith.  All defense, all the time, Romney referred Schieffer’s questions about LDS doctrine to the Elders in Salt Lake City.  But this wasn’t good enough for self-styled Christian Schieffer; his line of questioning seemed to […]

It’s a long twelve month slog to Election Day 2008 and if Dumbocrats acquiesce to ex-copresident Mrs Clingon’s sins of ego we may be driving to the electronic voting centers on fuel refined from $125/barrel oil.  John McCain would be a respectable loser for Republicans- the ex-POW as patsy… fatcat PIGs would enjoy nothing more than reaping the benefits of […]

Back in the late 1960s, early Clinton health care guru Ira Magaziner was the pride of Brown University.  One might have argued that whiz-kid Ira and antiwar icon Dr Benjamin Spock were indeed separated at birth.  But something funny happened on the way to Chicago.  Ira received a foundation grant and started touring US campuses preaching […]
