Iced Over »

I hope Barack Obama sends a nice Christmas or Kwanzaa present to George W. Bush. Without the debacle of the Bush Administration Barack would not have had a shot at winning the White House.

A SPECIAL COMMENTARY »

On Memorial Day, Senator Obama, trying to show some patriotism and solidarity with the military and Jews (except those in Israel), mentioned his grandfather’s service in the military and his uncle helping to liberate Auschwitz. Apparently, Senator Obama was also seeing “dead people” at the same time.
Senator, whatever could you POSSIBLY be thinking? [...]

The Neo-Liberal War on Blue-Collar Whites and the Breakup of the Democratic Party »

Dorothea LANGE, “Migrant Mother,” 1936
A friend paraphrases a famous story to illustrate why she may vote Republican for the first time in 40 years: in the late 1960s, when the feminist movement was still thought of as a novelty, a boorish male reporter asked the heterosexual Gloria Steinem if she was a lesbian. Steinem responded, [...]

The Big Bad Fox Did It »

Last Tuesday we had the immense pleasure of watching Senator Barack Obama lose big time in Kentucky. His campaign knew he was going to lose big.

Ok, So Tell Us What IS Allowed »

I’ve noticed a pattern here on the blogs of late and it was ratcheted up to deafening levels when people decided that BO’s already won our party’s nomination.  Ok maybe a while before that but my point is there’s a definite double standard here on the blogs and there has been for quite some time.

In Florida 2000, the votes were not counted because the conservative majority on the Supreme Court ruled they shouldn’t be counted.
