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 [...]

(bumped up from last night late . this is a CRITICALLY IMPORTANT POST about what Barack Obama is overlooking)
Remember Jesse Jackson, Jr., and his claim that voters should “analyze” Hillary Clinton’s tears? We should analyze those tears in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he said, especially as Hillary will have to face the Democratic voters [...]

What in the hell? MSNBC is advertising about its coverage of Inauguration Day, saying:
In the nation’s capitol, on the brink of history, the hour approaches …
If January 20th marks the “brink of history,” what have we been living in so far? And won’t the Visigoths, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Mesopotamians be just a [...]

According to John Kass in this VERY good piece from January 9, Chickens Dancing, Roosting in 5th District (major H/T to KenoshaMarge via NH). I tell you, that is one courageous man given how so many of Obama’s critics, or people close to him, are silenced tout suite. But that as not stopped [...]

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 [...]

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.

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, top Senate [...]

[Truthteller's piece is terrific. I've added the latest video from the guys at the Nose On Your Face at the end. I think it is a dandy companion for this piece.]
Barack Obama on Thursday stated the following:
“I have never spoken to the governor on this subject. I am confident that [...]

Times Online reports calls for Emanuel’s resignation as Obama’s Chief of Staff. I quote with emphasis:
THE bullish, foul-mouthed but effective Chicago arm-twister Rahm Emanuel has come under pressure to resign as Barack Obama’s chief of staff after it was revealed that he had been captured on court-approved wire-taps discussing the names of candidates for [...]

Jesse *let me repeat* Jackson, “I met with Blagojevich for the first time in four years, on Tuesday.”
Now, perhaps he means in an actual conference room, with pens, pads of paper, and donuts (or bagels), but it’s not *just words* in these situations. I would think, during a press conference, in [...]

Well, the election is over and we all need to figure out next steps. However, while we indulge in mulling, there’s stuff going on. Do you know where one of the “front lines” is in international war / finance / fraud? Computers. At least Obama now knows this first hand. [...]

The Rev. must be out of the doghouse for his “nutty” remarks about Obama’s, er uh, nuts. The NYPost published an interview today between Amir Taheri and Jesse Jackson. Jackson is in France, at a “World Policy Forum,” where he spoke about the foreign policies he feels an Obama administration would pursue.

Well, thanks Obama and Jim Clyburn. Without you two, this man who has worked his HEART out for the African American community his entire adult life, who has his Clinton Foundation Office in HARLEM, is being questioned on whether he is a RACIST or not. SHAME on you both!!! That was simply despicable behavior on [...]

Part of the Clinton Derangement Syndrome we have witnessed this election cycle puts forth the theory that anything that happens is Hillary’s fault. Senator Obama, the DNC elites and the media never miss an opportunity to try and sell this phony bill of goods to the public.
Barack’s looking real tired on the campaign trail. [...]

Karma’s a bitch, baby. And today some folks out there got a snoot full.
Jesse Jackson is now falling all over himself to apologize for his “hot mic” comments about Senator Obama. Rev. Jackson intimated Obama is threatening his own support within the African American community by lecturing them on morality and talking down [...]

Despite all the talk of unity things aren’t all that unified across the country. A new phenomenon is occurring. Politicians that backed Hillary Clinton are now facing challenges by those who want to punish the people that supported her. Even John Lewis who changed his endorsement to Obama under duress is not immune.
A New Campaign [...]

You gotta admit, Obama has class. For a snob that is. Or maybe he has created a whole new class of snobs. And he is definitely at the head of the class. At a recent meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus things didn’t go as peachy for Obama as he would would have liked them. [...]

Obama campaign strategist (and Adolf Hitler lookalike) David Axelrod stated last night that Hillary won Indiana because Rush Limbaugh mobilized Republicans to cross over and vote for her. He claims that 10% of the Indiana electorate were Republican crossovers and Hillary did very well among them.
