Well, Are They Rising Or Not? »

The waters, that is. Now, I know that Obama claimed when the nomination was given to him by the DNC (cue angelic choirs), “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal…” Oh, how I wish I was kidding, but that is just one of [...]

I first became aware of the book that is making waves, Game Change, when a part of it appearing in NY Magazine was referenced by faithful No Quarter reader, Mountainaires, in terms of Elizabeth Edwards. Basically, the authors, Heilemann and Halperin, dispel the myth of “St. Elizabeth.” What an eye-opener this excerpt was, especially for [...]

(coughing, sputtering) … Michelle will … (gasping) … she will … (choking) … Michelle will … (reaching for phone) … Michelle … (fingers trailing off phone before 911 can be dialed) … Meeeee … (lapsing into unconsciousness, seeing a white light surrounding Hillary dressed in a tasteful cream-colored suit at an official tea with both [...]

On International Women’s Day, President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan addressed women in his country: With every step forward that women in Afghanistan take, violent incidents highlight the fact many still struggle for basic human rights eight years after the ouster of the conservative Taliban regime.

Obama, the Human Rorschach Test »

By Pat Racimora on Aug 21, 2008 in Barack Obama, Presumptuous Nominee, Qualifications | View Comments

Back in the 1920s Dr. Hermann Rorschach tossed some ink on a piece of paper, quickly folded it in half, and opened it up to find a mirror-image splatter. He tried his “accidental inkblots” on some of his psychoanalysis patients, asking them “What do you see?” So was born the famous Rorschach Inkblot Test, presenting [...]

The Folly of My Ways: Not Vetting Obama on The “l” »

By NancyA on Aug 18, 2008 in Abortion, Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Obama, Presumptuous Nominee | View Comments

I must admit I was unaware of Obama’s non-support of “live birth measures” in the Illinois Senate until this morning. I heard the ramblings about “live birth” measures and Obama. I did not vet him on this subject because I am long past the age of “giving birth” (my kids are in their middle 20s). [...]

Dear Goddess, I am SO pissed off today. Why you might ask? Well, take a look at this. I’ll wait: The 2008 Convention: Tuesday, August 26th – Renewing America’s Promise Okay – what did you see? As promised, Hillary Clinton will be speaking – among 274 other people. Okay – not really that many, but [...]

Obama: Unscripted and Unprepared »

By Anita Finlay ("Ani") on Aug 13, 2008 in Barack Obama, DNC, Democratic Nomination, Georgia, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Presumptuous Nominee | View Comments

Every day, Barack Obama reminds me a little more of George Bush. I can’t help it. The similarities are too striking to ignore: His love for vacations at the worst possible time. And he, like King George, purports to be a ‘Uniter.’ Well, let’s test this claim. How would you characterize a man who: has [...]
