While I’m trying to decide if the failed bail-out is a sign of failed leadership or incredibily thick headed Republicans, here are a few interesting articles I read this morning: – David Brooks, “Revolt of the Nihilists” – Bob Herbert, “When Madmen Reign” – Paul Krugman, “The 3 AM Call” (I guess we know how [...]

There are two people very close to me who are pissed off right now: my grandmother and my father. And no, it’s not because I’ve become rather fond of red wine. My grandmother and my father, who, mind you, rarely get pissed off at anything that is distant and impersonal, are royally pissed about McCain’s [...]

I like to call it “sheer brilliance” and “willing to admit that we have some work to do.” See the 2 NY [...]

In it, he spews out all of his frustrations against Clinton in a way only Michael Moore could spew, and he pleads for voters in PA to vote for Obama since he couldn’t.

First thoughts: It was actually [...]

UPDATE: I just saw the quote at the top of Obama’s website. It makes me want to cry (if, you know, I did that sort of thing). “I’m asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington…but I’m asking you to believe in yours.” _______________ A recent Gawker [...]

I just got an email from the Richardson campaign notifying his supporters that he is withdrawing from the presidential race. While this is not unexpected, it’s actually kind of sad. I like Richardson. He was the first candidate Dems presented this year. I personally find his policies to be very sound and he undoubtedly had [...]

I think the only way to sum up what happened last night is to give you some of my favorite quotes from a recent Wonkette post: “Fucking fuck fucking fuckall shitfuck. She will hunt us all down and kill us, you know. She is the female Cheney.” “So ‘tough’ Hil can’t win but the sensitive, [...]
