I’m glad the story is finally getting out, but imagine the impact of a standing administration official resigning, not with admirable platitudes and praise for his employer, but with a sharp rebuke.

… and lost her mind.
I have friends who have expressed concern for Obama’s safety and worry about him getting assassinated. Friends bringing it up in conversation is way different than Hillary bringing it up in a television interview.
You’ve got to wonder what is going on in her head? All of the candidates knew the party [...]
Last week in politics
Published by May 20th, 2008 in Election 2008, Humor, Middle East, Politics, War and al Qaeda. 0 CommentsFirst, honk if you like bumper sticker politics:
1. GWB tells Israel that Obama is going to cause the next holocaust.
2. Hard Ball host Chris Matthews challenges a loud-mouthed, flock-jock, talk(ing points) radio host and republican party line parrot to back up his words with a little substance. I swear to god I haven’t seen this [...]
From Amy Goodman’s interview with Gore Vidal on DEMOCRACY NOW!
AMY GOODMAN: You wrote two books during the Bush administration. Two of the books you’ve written are Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace and Dreaming War. Why these two?

Published by May 13th, 2008 in Panties. 0 CommentsThe cool thing about it is that now you get to wear that pair twice. Here’s why:

For the first time, Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families: He has given up golf.
“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” [...]

Jonathan Schwarz thought about that and put up a post on This Modern World:
It’s September 12, 2001. You’re sitting in front of a TV, watching footage of the World Trade Center collapse over and over and over again.

Politics and Religion… and Race
Published by May 2nd, 2008 in Church & State, Election 2008 and Politics. 0 CommentsMr. Fish illustrated the unnatural combination of politics and religion perfectly in this week’s comic featuring a caricature of Barack Obama. Go read it now and then come back here.
Mr. Fish could make the same point with any of the candidates running for president. All he’d have to do is replace Obama with McCain and add statements made [...]
