Looks like the left in France has run out of gas, no more “nouvelle philosophes”… instead, a “nouvelle Obama” named Harlem (as in A train) Desir (as in New Orleans streetcar). Click here to see the image, and then you can go channel the Red Queen in cryogenics if she can break away from […]

A handful of notes from the blogosphere on last night’s Democratic primaries:
Hilzoy at Obsidian Wings, pointing out that despite her embrace of the phony gas-tax holiday, Hillary lost North Carolina and won Indiana in a squeaker: “Senator Clinton gambled on the stupidity of the voters, and she lost. That is truly worth celebrating.” Hilzoy also […]

Headline this morning: “AP-Yahoo poll shows McCain winning back unhappy Republicans.” It’s a juicy headline that doesn’t accurately describe the story it’s attached to, which is largely about the way McCain is attracting swing voters and disgruntled Democrats. But if the Repug base is starting to feel better about McCain, the only surprise is that […]

In Brazil for a couple of weeks, a nation where religion does not infiltrate retail politics. I am watching CNN, where Hillary is getting the Torquemada treatment from a crew of media trained whitebread fundamentalist Christian cuthroats. An event billed as the Compassion Forum… While I am no fan of the former co-president Mrs. Clinton, […]

at the White House, September 1998. Courtesy of Politico’s Ben Smith who finds that, according to Hillary Clinton’s just released calendar, was present at the very same dinner.
Meanwhile Senator Clinton’s “advisers said they had spent recent days making the case to wavering superdelegates that Mr. Obama’s association with Mr. Wright would doom […]

Keith Olbermann in his inimitable style let it fly regarding the Clinton campaign. And as a (former) Clinton supporter, I share his outrage and can’t disagree with a word he said. For those who have read my posts over the years, one of the common threads is my absolute contempt for the Democratic […]

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?  […]

Like Angelo told his guy Clay… stick and move. 

This Habib… the brand logo on the right in the Wikipedia link says it all.  Obama has survived the night of the long knives, the sharpest from Paulie the K at Times Tower. But, as those dyed-in-the-wool Democrats pollster-wonks, the Zogby brothers, are wont to admit, the more damaging sotto voce suggesting that Barack Hussein is a “closet Muslim” is waiting […]

“Hanoi John’s” handlers kept this impeachment grade story quiet for eight years. But anybody who ever chopped lines with a Harvard Coop card knows that if you wanna win, you gotta go for the cojones.  But that’s what got Don Bolles killed.  Now that the Teamsters are watching Hubby’s back, if I was Michelle Obama I’d be […]
