The Fix is In–Will Democrats Stand for It?

Democrats are almost evenly divided between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton, and yet the media would have us believe Obama is a “juggernaut.” Now the DNC expects us to take lying down a clear fix in Obama’s favor. Who ran the rules committee–the Chicago machine?
Any Democrat ought to be outraged by the way the Michigan [...]

Hillary too boring to be president

Yahoo Headline from the Wall Street Journal today: Hillary to Boring to be President. Dammit, why didn’t I see that? Of course she is too boring. Bill was not boring back in the day, but there hasn’t been one boyfriend or girlfriend, one indicted crony, or one crazy minister. No early coke habit to make he [...]

Obama Chooses Alexrod, Beyonce et al for White House Posts

Now that I have helped Obama pick his cabinet, I would like to help him with other problems he is going to face in his First Hundred Days. He needs the right press secretary and there are a lot of gay guys or guys on the down low vying for that job: Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, [...]

Obama Cabinet Picks

Now that the Obama presidency is all but inevitable, he needs to get a head start picking his cabinet. I am not speculating on the Vice Presidential position yet, but Bill Richardson, I would not hold my breath. It won’t be Hillary Clinton.
Here are my bets for the cabinet:
Secretary of State: Fareed Zakaria (Madeleine Albright [...]

Endorsements we’d love to have…

Now that Jenna Bush has weighed in, we need to know…Will they go for Hillary or Barack or John (McCain)? I am going to offer my predictions, but we gotta know:
Elvis (because we know he is out there somewhere): I think he’ll be an Obama guy, which pains me a little. I know Elvis was [...]

Clinton leading…

58% to 42% amongst gun owners? What gun owner would vote for Obama? Leading among church-goers, I totally get; she leads among them too. I think she leads well, which is why I am all for her and not for him.
I am predicting she gets him by 12% points just because I have a gambling [...]

Weathermen, Terrorism and Illinois: What’s wrong with this picture?

This is a post about nothing except my mood. Why should you care about my mood? Fair question. You shouldn’t. In fact, don’t keep reading.
Lately I have been a political junkie and I think I have finally reached the limit of satiation, where eating more will only make me ill and anxious. The point came [...]

Obama Supporters Take to Streets as Hillary Closes Campaign

In a profoundly moving, complex speech today, Hillary Clinton announced the end to her campaign for the Democratic Nomination. She acknowledged the complexities of sexism in America, and spoke of the need to understand the historical context in which sexism arose. “For an older generation of both men and women, white and black,” she said [...]

Obama better woman than Hillary

“Dolan sees Obama as “the embodiment of the gentle, collaborative style without threatening his masculine side.” But she adds, “He’s being more feminine than she can be. She is in a much tighter box.” “
Yes, her box may be tighter, but he’s the better woman. He’s so good at everything!
I did a google search to [...]

Five reasons I would rather have a beer with Hillary than Barack…

1) I don’t think Obama drinks beer. He might, but he doesn’t seem like that kind of guy, but I bet after all those years of living in Arkansas, not to mention putting up with Bill, Hillary must drink beer.
2) When you drink beer (in moderation and without driving afterwards) you feel happy and you [...]
