“The Ties That Bind…” »

You know, for an Administration that campaigned on “Transparency,” there sure seems to be a whole lot of opaqueness when it comes to Obama and those who pushed him to prominence. Take, for example, Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. He has some mighty interesting Connections, as this article highlights, The Ties That Bind. Remember [...]

Is The Love Affair Between The Press And Obama Over? »

One would certainly think so if this article is any indication, “Why Reporters Are Down On President Obama“. Color me a bit surprised to learn that reporters were down on Obama. I could be jaded after the overwhelmingly positive articles of him during the election, especially compared to favorable articles on Hillary Clinton, but I [...]

It’s All About The Connections »

One might think that as a minister type, I am talking about how connected we all are, one to another, all over the world. Well, okay, there is this, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part,” one of the Seven Principles and Purposes of the UUA, to which [...]

Jane Harman and Rod Blagojevich »

(Editor’s Note: Stay tuned for Part II later this evening.) CQ Politics: "Rep. Jane Harman, the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public [...]

Salient archive post #2: Obama and Blago: I fought the machine and the machine won…. »

(See Bud White’s post earlier today.) This story by law professor Stephen Diamond was originally published on December 14, 2008. David Alinsky will reminisce about [...]

(Sent to me by our Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy, who’s on the mend.) What else is goin ‘on? MAJOR UPDATE! FINALLY! Took [...]

I Just Cannot Keep Up »

I bet Roland Burris can’t either. First, according to NBC Chicago, Obama “forcefully” sided with the Senate, and Harry “No One Gets To Come Into My Clubhouse If I Don’t Want Them Here” Reid, saying that while Burris is a good man, he wasn’t going to get the secret handshake to gain admittance. Okay, maybe [...]

Finally, a Race Card anybody could believe in »

Harry, Harry, Harry. What’s up with you, man? Say this is not true. You tell us that armed guards are going to keep Roland Burris from taking his seat. One strike. But Harry, now this? Days before Gov. Blagojevich was charged with trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder, [...]

The Lines Are Buzzing… »

With the possibility that Paterson will pick Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg after all. Sigh. Between the crapola with Burris and Kennedy, I scarcely recognize our form of government any more. But it is not yet a done deal on Kennedy Schlossberg, so this isn’t about that specifically. Rather, I want to share with you the backbone, [...]

Harry Reid: Between a Rock and a Hard Place »

(Susan’s Note: Stay tuned tonight! Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy is taking a weed-whacker to the undergrowth of the tangled Caroline Kennedy/Gov. David Paterson/New York State mess. Then you’re in for an earful of Uppity Woman’s antipathy towards the Illinois State mess that the Democrats have gotten themselves into. ) ……………………………………………….. Rod Blagojevich may be a [...]

The Nocturnal Warrior’s Christmas Poem »

(Author’s note: This is the text of the poem as read on the Nocturnal Warrior Show, Tuesday Night on the NQR Blog Talk Radio Channel. For the full effect of the poem, it is best to actually hear the author recite it. Especially after he has had a shot of Wild Turkey. However, this is [...]

Nocturnal Warrior’s Sunday Roundup »

It’s been quite a week! ITEM: Illinois Governor Rod Blagoevich says he has done nothing wrong and vows to remain in office: “It’s begining to look a lot like Fiztmas. Everywhere you go. Take a look a look at all the hacks, trying to watch their backs before Blago takes the stand and lets out [...]

Selling Influence or Perceived Entitlement: Which is More Shoddy? »

Governor Rod Blagojevich apparently has been trying to sell Obama’s Senate vacated seat. Shameful! Then along comes Caroline Kennedy (Schlossberg) who appears to believe that genealogy is sufficient to take over Hillary’s Senate seat. This all stinks. I see them in my mind’s eye as little children who both belong somewhere other than in leadership [...]

Huh – I Guess It WAS Sexism After All… »

When Gov. Rendell made his obnoxious comment about Gov. Janet Napolitano. You may remember it from this Campbell Brown video: Well, despite his protestations to the contrary, when Gov. Rendell decided to endorse CHRIS MATTHEWS in his run for the 2010 US Senate run in PA, he pretty much sealed his own place in the [...]
