Say It Ain’t So, Hillary, Say It Ain’t So! »

Okay, I admit it - I have tried to be in total denial about the following interview of Secretary of State Clinton and Ann Curry. My aunt sent me the pertinent quote earlier this week, and I just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t want to believe it, to be honest. [...]

I post. You … uh … »

You emote. You rant. You scream. You inhale. You reflect? No … you rant.

“i don’t think the way to the presidency is a short stop in the senate” »

OK, so I read this article on politico, about Sarah Palin, and whether she will run for Senator in Alaska. The current Senator in Alaska, Lisa Murkowski “has some Republican-to-Republican advice for Gov. Sarah Palin: If you want to make a run at the White House, keep your hands off my Senate seat.”
The article goes [...]

Washington Post: On second thought, maybe we were a little too Pro-Obama »

It has been less than a week since “He who has not been vetted” became our President-elect. While the citizen journalists who volunteer time on blogs like this and others have done their best to search for answers about the man who will be our 44th president, they simply did not have the [...]

Senator Obama, on his Rockapalooza tour of the Middle East and Europe, is now taking time out from photo ops and playing hoops (you know, while [...]

Obama Bars Press Scrutiny and Forces the Pentagon to Do the Media’s Jobs [Updated] »

If you read today’s New York Times press release article, “For Obama, a First Step Is Not a Misstep,” you’d assume the two reporters were witnesses to Obama’s meetings in Iraq. However, if you check out the gripes from reporters in Politico’s 24/7 Playbook, you’d find out that reporters didn’t accompany Obama and that [...]

CNN corrected the record yesterday, as Uppity Woman reported in “Maliki Disputes Report That He Endorses Obama’s Withdrawal Plan“:
[A] spokesman for al-Maliki said his remarks “were misunderstood, mistranslated and not conveyed accurately.”

Tell Andrea Mitchell What You Think [Updated] »

I don’t know. Maybe I’m over-reacting by being appalled by Andrea Mitchell’s statement. What do you think? Does what she said bother you at all? Maybe I’m just sensitive (especially since, sigh, I am a woman).

Via Media Matters:
Andrea Mitchell: Clinton’s campaign, “right now, is not the greatest example of why women should rule the [...]
