Up until the last second when I sent my absentee ballot in for Hillary, I was one of the conflicted 16% of California Dems who were on the fence. My problem was not dissimilar to many I speak with:
I believe Hillary is the most able candidate running by far (although my personal preference is […]

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 […]

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 […]

Here’s some stuff to read instead of working this morning:
The Carpetbagger Report tells about the newest way to earn credit at the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary: homemaking classes. The MRS degree—it’s not just a metaphor anymore.
Political Animal explores the possibility of a brokered GOP convention next year. Can’t anybody here play this game?
Bill O’Reilly says […]

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 […]

I give Obama two thumbs up in Manchester, New Hampshire yesterday.  He was colloquial, believeable … maybe even electable… in 2016.  He’s saying the same things Mr and Mrs Clingon said when Perot handed them the White House in November 1992.  The difference is that Mrs Clingon don’t say that stuff no more.  She’s been bamboozled […]

While Barry Obama is getting his teeth whitened, while John Edwards is getting another $400 haircut and while Mrs Clingon is learning the focus group results of just how much cleavage her frumpy dress should reveal the number of functionally illiterate Americans continues to ramp up at a rate that makes the Guggenheim a candidate for the […]

Reading blogs and the MSM one gets the impression that the “race” for the White House is already out of the clubhouse turn and into the backstretch. In many instances coverage of “the campaign” takes on the same disconnected, soundbite-skewed characteristics as the personality stuctures of the “candidates” themselves. For an election that […]

In a somewhat lame attempt to avoid the “Kerryization” of their prospective candidate, the Dems let the MSM run with a story yesterday that all of their candidates believe the US will be in the geographic area that T.E. Lawrence never wanted to exist called Eye-rack for “the duration.”  In terms of moolah, that’s “boo-koo.”  The […]

While not as bad as the Lord Fauntleroy images of John “the snowboarder” Kerry or Howard “I buy from Cabela’s” Dean the images we see of the “rock star” are indeed brittle.  As brittle as the pants and dress shirt and Stetson shod Nixon walking the beach at San Clemente.  Occasionally the Ralph Lauren-style polo.  […]
