Olbermann was on fire tonight - directing the full force of his ire on Hillary Clinton her tacky remark about RFK’s assassination. Olbermann’s report essentially was a series of people saying her remarks were beyond the pale.
Here’s my take on it: What she said was stupid, politically and socially tone deaf. I’m not [...]
A thrilling aspect of this election cycle is that practically every day I get email from either Bill or Hillary Clinton.
Never before have I had this sort of intimacy with an American President and an international celebrity.
Just this afternoon Bill took time out from the campaign to send me the following note:
The New York Times reports on March 19 that whereas the Bush administration sold the Iraq war to the congress as a $50 billion investment, the actual costs are more like–
1.) ultra-conservative Pentagon estimate: $600 billion and counting
(note: this Honest Abe estimate categorically excludes “extras” such as operations in the war zone, [...]
Come one, come all pundits on this blog, to a penetrating quantitative analysis of Presidential greatness versus experience at–

Conclusion: no correlation whatsoever!
My meditation:
According to this data, LBJ, with 27 years in the Congress, is the number two most experienced president and for my [...]

Last night, CBS’s 60 Minutes aired its long-awaited report on Alabama’s incarcerated former governor Don Siegelman, featuring allegations that Karl Rove personally told a Republican operative in the state to find evidence that Siegelman was cheating on his wife.
Siegelman, a Democrat, was convicted in [...]
This very clever and enjoyable video has over 1.3m views SO FAR!
John Edwards appears three days before the caucus, like a Magician in a Casino showroom. I’ve been talking to everyone I see about getting past the media blockade down here and giving credit were it’s due to the real leader of the Democratic Presidential Nominees. Edward’s campaign has been the driving force [...]
Here’s a salute to the Democrats who are already planning to give up on Iraq withdrawal, according to the Washington Post.
From The Ballad of Brave Sir Robin (“Monty Python and the Holy Grail”)
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir [...]
The Bush administration is ranked by historians as the worst ever in U.S. history, and they still have 423 days left in office. What to do? Try to rewrite history, of course.
In a cozy Air Force One interview with sycophant/columnist Kathleen Parker, President Bush made some interesting counter-factual claims:
“[W]e’ve got to support these [...]
With opposition to the Iraq occupation at an all-time high, today Washington politicians offered us more kabuki theater.
A $50 billion Iraq funding bill received a 53-45 vote in the Senate today. Normally that would mean it passed, like Judge Mukasey’s confirmation last week that passed 53-40. But no, it didn’t pass because the [...]
The current issue of The Nation is worth picking up, unless you’re a subscriber and you already know about it. They have excellent profiles of each of the Democratic presidential candidates. Now is the time to reflect on who we really want, because soon we’ll be left with just the front-runners, the “electable” [...]
I am pro-Union. As a professional with a master’s degree, chances are good I am unlikely to work in a unionized job, but that does not change my basic support for Unions.
Unions serve all workers, not just their members. Corporations hold an unfair advantage over individual workers for a simple reason - there are more [...]
