Our Rocky made the cover of Nation magazine.
Having spent several months as Rocky’s interim communications guy, I witnessed up close and personal the viceral, organized and popular sport of Rocky bashing. I can tell you it looks no different from the inside than the outside for the simple reason that both of our major [...]

Well, it’s done. The bill is in the hopper. Last Friday, outgoing Georgia Rep. Cynthia McKinney announced a bill to impeach President Bush.
Granted its not going anywhere, at least for now. Pelosi has made clear she will not entertain proposals to sanction Bush and has warned the liberal wing of her party against making political [...]

Fundamentally, I disagree with Senators Orrin Hatch and Barak Obama in their legislation protecting tithing from debtors in bankruptcy. Bad theology, and absolutely terrifying, frightening, scary Constitutional law, not only not separating Caesar and God, but making siamese sisters of the two, connected at the unbilical cord, or shifting the metaphors, [...]

Horray for my friends Mary Kay and Jon Huntsman, Jr., and Asha. A great family, from top to bottom. Including my old friends up the food chain, Karen and Jon, Loving lovely people. A new child at Christmas. That’s what I call family planning. Asha is from India, a land I love [...]

Our choice [...]

Cliff posted a nice working draft of impeachable offenses involving both President Bush and Vice President Cheney. These included violations of the US Constitution, U.S. laws, International Laws and Treaty Obligations. Among these was the ban on use of chemical weapons for offensive purposes. This was signed by the United States in 1980. It is [...]

Follows is a preliminary review of 14 possible articles of impeachment under which Bush and Cheney could be removed from office. This is in no way a recommendation of impeachment, but is rather a reference designed to undergird a discussion about impeachment and its purpose and appropriateness in the next congress.
I have invited Professor Firmage [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

 The 2006 election seems to support Thomas Schaller’s Whistling Past Dixie thesis. In a nutshell, Schaller argues that the Democratic Party can and should build a national, majority coalition without the South – Based on the Northeast and the West Coast, Democrats can take control of the Midwestern and western States. Republicans would be relegated [...]
