Transparent

April 30, 2008

Today's ponderings….
What has become transparently clear this election cycle is the pains establishment Villagers, conspiring with Republicans, have gone to in order to keep policy discussions off the front pages and off the evening "newscasts". Instead of thorough discussions, meaningful question and answer sessions, follow up rebuttal questions, comparisons of left-right policies, the last 8 [...]

Obama Press Conference

April 29, 2008

What's interesting to me, as I watch Obama's press conference to discuss the deep and serious threat to the country Obama's pastor has become,….what's interesting is how intensely the Lapdoggers are scrutinizing every syllable. Repetitive questionings and requestionings, digging deep for every nuance in Barack Obama's answers to their own Rev Wright smear and guilt [...]

Rogue Jurists Rule For GOP

April 28, 2008

UPDATED BELOW
On January 8th, 2008, The Reverend typed this….
How can it be explained away? How can the Supreme Court force an issue front and center, especially during a general election year, that IS NOT A PROBLEM IN THE SLIGHEST? The only answer I can come up with is that, once again, the conservative jurists know [...]

Not Rocket Science

April 28, 2008

Many ill informed Americans of the conservative persuasion have been banging their predictable ANWR and off shore oil drums in response to $3.50 per gallon gasoline prices. If all of ANWR's oil were pumped out it would make a .3% world supply difference. Obviously, at least to reality based folks, that is not the answer [...]

What's Driving McCain?

April 27, 2008

It's a long time from May to November, and it will seem much longer for enthusiasts of John McCain's candidacy for president if the Arizona senator continues his, thus far, dismal campaigning.
McCain is not a riveting speaker, he represents a political party which has lost all credibility with the American people (except the 30% wingnut [...]

"Rare Exception"

April 26, 2008

Decades of reporting on the powerful, in and around Washington D.C., brings with it invaluable training. Training which helps focus the veteran reporter's mind like a laser beam enabling him to know, almost reflexively, what's objectively true and what is not. This invaluable training is so invaluable because American's would never know the truth [...]

What's Really Important

April 25, 2008

I know that the only critical points for determining which presidential candidate to vote for are found in 40 year old smear-by-association points. I know that. Or 40 year old prisoner of war stories. All of this is oh-so-important. Reliving and rearguing circa 1968 material has to be the only determining factor in choosing our [...]

Prime Example

April 24, 2008

The New York Times' Adam Nagourney shows us all how it is done…..
His remark at a private fundraiser in San Francisco about bitter blue-collar workers “clinging” to guns and religion was the kind of assertion that would be damaging to a candidate of any race. Inflammatory statements by Mr. Obama’s former pastor, Jeremiah A. Wright [...]

Strange Thinking

April 23, 2008

Barack Obama lost to Hillary Clinton in the Pennsylvania primary yesterday by 10%. Twice what I predicted. I must not have prayed fervently enough. Anyway, I was mistaken. I don't follow Bush, The Younger's template…..I admit error and move forward.
The primaries continue on to the remaining states with virtually no hope for Clinton [...]

American Idol President and YCMTSU

April 22, 2008

Today's the day. After 6 weeks of total teevee nonsense, the Pennsylvania primary is finally, and mercifully, upon us. Before the screeching heads drag out their political slide rules to demonstrate how blacks and women and white men and the albino constituency voted the way they did in the Quaker State…….here are two WTF blurbs [...]
