Mr. President, Why Did You Want This Job? »

I would like an answer to my question. How can someone be so determined to knock everyone else off the stage that he would spend nearly a billion dollars to do it, and when his waffling and doubling dealing in office don’t yield the desired result, blame President Bush and everyone else under the [...]

“Capricious”: Obama’s GM Power Grab »

See, this is what worries me most. As Nocturnal Warrior said over and over again tonight on his otherwise light and hilarious show, we have the “Resume President.” And this move was solely because Obama’d been perceived as soft on AIG, so he wanted to be seen as tough, and add “Tough Guy” [...]

Krugman Pounds Away At Geithner’s Recycled Toxic Assets Plan »

Here’s Paul Krugman, on camera, on Geithner’s “toxic assets” plan, announced Monday: “This is something they can do without legislation. They found a way that they can in effect put the public on the hook for a TRILLION DOLLARS for this stuff without actually getting any approval.” It can be done through the FDIC and [...]

Wither Goest Your Sex Fantasies? * Open Thread »

No, I’m not Doctor Ruth. I’m just a flabbergasted former subscriber to the New York Times who read THIS Judith Warner drivel (which cannot be news or even worthy of commentary) the other day in that once-esteemed, once-great newspaper:
The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I [...]

Is Barack Obama on the Precipice of Becoming Jimmy Carter? »

We are only sixteen days into the age of the new messiah and his angel wings are in danger of falling off.
Consider, for example, that The One promised a new way of doing business in Washington but is responsible for managing the vetting of prospective nominees that green-lights not one but three tax [...]

Not just a fair-weather friend »

Larry Johnson, my friend, posted his personal view on statements of hatred towards Obama. It brings forward a simple question; Do we have among us those who have decided they are married to their hatred? Was it only our severe scrutiny of Obama that attracted you? Or are you interested in joining us to continue [...]

If This Is A Feminist… »

Then I have been mislabeling myself for the past 36 years. See, I thought a feminist was someone who believed in women’s equality, who believed that women’s rights were human rights, who believed that women had the right to make decisions about our own bodies, that women had the right to equal pay, and [...]

The terrible danger of a personality cult »

A number of videos and comments on Youtube and elsewhere have compared the personality cult surrounding Barack Obama with Adolph Hitler, drawing parallels among other things with the way that thuggish supporters have tried to silence Obama’s opponents, the way people like the Black Panthers - in a manner similar to Hitler’s Brownshirts - tried [...]

Open Thread * Pop The Dumbo’s Balloon »

There are few bloggers more dense and truly offensive — in a venal way — than John Cole at Balloon Juice.
There were times that TalkLeft’s Big Tent Democrat (BTD) — who used to be Armando, a very powerful player at Daily Kos, until … (we won’t go there) — made a WHOLE LOT of sense [...]

I have to tell you that this video of the woman in ecstasy discussing how Barack Obama will make it she won’t have to worry about gas or her mortgage remains the single most searched line that brings readers to this site in the past three days.

Open Thread * “Obama campaign workers angry over unpaid wages” »

This is a wide open thread, so DISH away! (And note that I’ve changed my username from Bronwyn Obamanot to Bronwyn’s Harbor, and that’s solely because I so much want all of you to feel safe here! You are safe here in our “harbor.” And we’ll keep batting away at the “sore winner” [...]
