MSNBC Needs To Make It Official »

Their name change to MSNB(arack)O(bama). Seriously. As many of you know, Keith Olbermann left his 6:00pm slot there for any number of reasons many of us would be willing to suggest were the true reasons. Regardless, he has been gone for a number of months now (though not off the tv – he found another [...]

With Good Leadership, The Country Is Indeed Governable »

One of the political positives of 2008 has been a willingness for some on one side of the aisle to give fair hearing to those on on the other. This was accomplished by none other than Nancy Pelosi, Donna Brazile et al telling those of us not willing to get on board with the new [...]

gates-gate: the tale of the tape »

This is part two of the post I wrote yesterday, obama: i don’t know anything about it, except the white cop acted stupidly. New information has been released, and more interviews have been given. Just to recap, in addition to: ~the corroborating second police report ~the numerous witness accounts ~the fact that Gates’ home had [...]

But, but, but she … »

Strange how it continues to happen, time after time. He does bad (American Girl in Italy has a great piece  here), but the guns turn on her.  Why?  Because she’s fair game. Yes, it’s all her fault. Not only is the media actively working overtime to shrug off, ignore or try to explain away his [...]

So says Jim Cramer. Love him or hate him, the guy comes out with some real doozies.

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 [...]

The Sexism Continues… »

The headline on the MSN homepage (via MSNBC) declares, “Dem sources: Clinton to help wife get State job.” This headline refers to the fact that President Clinton is disclosing his financial records and those of his charitable work.

We Miss DCMediaGirl! * Open Thread »

As regular readers know, the quite liberal DCMediaGirl is very fond of the conservative Republican Joe Scarborough. She thinks he’s a great person and is very savvy about politics. DCMediaGirl has written about Joe and posted videos of some of his best moments in “Fair and Balanced and Good For You!,” in “Your Fourth Estate [...]
