MSNBC carried a blip of President Obama speaking in New York at a fundraiser. Sadly, the President is up to his old tricks. Remember when he was at a hoity-toity fundraiser in San Francisco and complained of Pennsylvania voters “clinging to God and guns”? That didn’t go over so well. [...]

In my new video I look at the way the Emperor’s Clothing Syndrome has dominated the arts and humanities over the past half century, with the help of academic practitioners looking for theories to build on, trying to carve out some academic territory for themselves and becoming the high priests or priestesses of their [...]

I am delighted to see that Senator McCain currently has the wind at his back. Otherwise, this country stands at the precipice of one of the biggest electoral mistakes imaginable – making the singularly unqualified Senator Obama Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces and leader of the free world. By his own [...]

A few days ago, NQ posted a story based on audio of an interview Obama gave in 1995. This piece was about race. The now-viral video about redistribution of wealth is from a 2001 interview, and it covers the redistribution of wealth and justice from the perspective of civil rights legislation. We’ve [...]

I made the mistake recently of attempting to debate the election with some buddies of mine, lifelong Democrats who, though they were fans of Hillary’s and voted for her, now have been assimilated into the Borg that is Obama. Well, he’s a Democrat, right???
If he’s a Democrat, I’ll pass. Thanks.
And since [...]

January 19, 2008:
The Obama campaign has had a deliberate strategy of calling the Clinton campaign racist and the media has allowed itself to be led along. Obama himself confessed to this strategy in the Nevada debate when shown a copy of a campaign memo directing campaign workers to use race-bating to defame Hillary Clinton.

Joe Biden caused quite a stir when he equated paying higher taxes with patriotism. Biden told ABC’s Kate Snow:
“We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people.” Snow asked: “Anybody making over $250,000…” Biden responded: “Is gonna pay more.” Snow: “Is going to pay more.” Biden: “You got it. [...]

I have watched two women be trashed by my party–the party that is supposed to believe in “Equal Rights For Women”. In the process, Hillary Clinton broke Barack Obama’s Hopey Changey Magical Powers Wand and then the DNC dragged his limp butt over the line against the will of their constuents, never imagining that the [...]

Obama’s choice of Joe Biden, I suspect, will go down as one of worst political decisions in recent memory. John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin will be remembered as one of the best.
Biden reinforces Obama’s worst traits: egoism, verbosity, elitism, and D.C.-insider status.
Palin, of course, reminds us of the best of McCain: [...]

It goes without saying that most of the major bloggers — Markos, Josh Marshall, Digby, and many others — were so blinded in their desire to sink Hillary that they allowed (and even engaged in) unrelenting sexism and race-baiting.
Their behavior during the campaign was so far from being progressive that I’ve concluded that they’re [...]

During the opening night of the Olympics, John McCain broadcast the following ad, titled “Painful”:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWXqpHEsrxc[/youtube]
I was struck by the high quality of the ad. It tweaks Obama’s celebrity status, and then unleashes a full-throttle class attack on Obama. “Life in the spotlight must be grand,” intones a woman’s voice, dropping her voice off for emphasis, [...]

The Just Say No Deal/PUMA movement is evidence of a deep rift in the Democratic Party, one I believe the polls are not reflecting. Contrary to what the neo-liberals may say, the movement is not comprised of bitter old women — although many are bitter, many are women, and some are perhaps old. [...]

1) If you’d like to have your very own Obama salute, there is a company hoping their idea for an Obama hand sign takes off. According to USNews and World Report:
“You interlace your hands in a circle, the interlacing being a symbol of different types of people coming together and the circle a symbol [...]

Carol Marin of the Chicago Sun-Times is the blue flower in the landscape of journalistic vapidity. Indeed, she is the intrepid news reporter who appears in this video created by Flineo:

I stopped reading Maureen Dowd and the rest of the New York Times’ misogynists during the primaries. Like many of Hillary’s supporters, I could not stomach their CDS hatefest, and their Kool Aid keggers just added insult to injury. However, now that Himself is the presumptuous Democratic nominee, Ms Dowd has taken to noticing some of the [...]

In 1939, James Thurber published a short story entitled, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Standing the test of time, this story was depicted in a movie and later, in the 60s it was a short-lived TV series. The book was published through the late 70s and it remains available today.
Because of the character of [...]

Comrade Barack Obama once again shows how little of his comfort zone is in America. He recently chided Americans who do not speak other languages. He snickered at them and said that when they go to Europe the only thing they can say in French is “Merci beaucoup“.
It’s…It’s…embarrassing when.. when …uh… [sic] Europeans come over [...]

This election season has seen many new voters come out to show their support for their candidate. We have seen many young people come out to support their choice as well. The youth vote is usually a small, unreliable voting block. This is according to history; of course, we have made a lot of history [...]
