So yesterday Andrew and I stopped by the Roxie theater to see Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez speak, along with Cindy Sheehan and a few other progressives I hadn't heard of (the Mayor of Richmond? really?). We didn't sign anything, but I did find myself agreeing with a lot of what was said. I didn't...
Lieberman has checked McCain's bearings. Ewwww. Now he wants to be Zell Miller for 2008. Next, I guess he will challenge Chris Matthews to a duel.
(His Words) Season 2 2008 My speech to be president!
I have been working at a new job recently, and I have had little energy for blogging. But today I took the time during lunch to pen a few thoughts on the Barack Obama problem. Additionally, my wife found my first gray hair this evening. I am ecstatic, having desired a touch of gray since I was 17 or...
Today Senator Barack Obama was parading around like he had just won an Olympic gold medal. He was in the public and on television beginning a media blitz. But, what are the other two candidates from the major parties doing? Senator Hillary Clinton’s camp was busy writing a letter to Senator Obama....
First the ickyness just so I can get it out of the way. This fucker frightens me. There is no way I could ever even begin to imagine the fear that that woman felt her entire life. Its horrible, I dont want to read the stories, and yet everyday that something new comes out turns me into one of those...
Fiel, as usual, on point: First off, it's illogical to suggest that these voters who may prefer her over Obama will not vote for Obama if he's the Democratic nominee. Why is it that Hillary can win 60% of the white working class vote, and we assume none of them will vote for Obama in the general...
I looked up Delusional Disorder on Wikipedia and it really seems to fit Hillary. Just look at the indicators: The patient expresses an idea or belief with unusual persistence or force. That idea appears to exert an undue influence on his or her life, and the way of life is often altered to an...
So it looks like Barack Obama won in North Carolina by a pretty significant margin, and he held up pretty well in Indiana next to Clinton. Therefore, I wanted to do an Obama post since I haven't done one in a while. You can donate to Barack Obama's campaign here, and you can give $10 or $25 if you...
So, if you are into politics, I'm sure you have heard about Clinton and McCain's "Gas-tax holiday." According to msnbc.com: To help people weather the downturn immediately, McCain urged Congress to institute a "gas-tax holiday" by suspending the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax...
This weekend the frenzy of debate between the Democratic presidential hopefuls ratcheted up again. The rhetoric is back up to speed as Senator Obama switched to the attack and Senator Clinton was on the defensive. Senator Barack Obama was on the attack in the press this weekend most notably stating...
There is a story making the rounds right now that claims that a certain Mr. Wright, who was formerly the pastor of the church that presidential hopeful Barack Obama attends, counseled a couple in his church to help with their marriage and then married the wife of this “counseling.” If this story...

Today former president Bill Clinton came to WVU in support of his wife. The campaign was supposed to start at 8:30am, but instead it started at 9:30. I must say, crowds are very frustrating when you are short. Being my 5'1" self, I could barely see over anyone. I just have to say, I love the people...
What will YOU spend it on? (Also, happy May Day! Now get out and make your voice heard!)
In a recent New York Times article, entitled "Where was the Wise Man?" former Treasury and current Chairman of the Executive Committee of Citigroup, Secretary Robert Rubin denies any responsibility for the enormous losses that have hit Citigroup in the wake of the sub-prime and credit crises: “By...
MoveOn.org has fired the first shots at the presumptive Republican candidate by running anti-McCain ads. The adds have quotes from both Senator McCain and President George Bush and are designed to get voters thinking about the election of Senator McCain as an extension of the troubled Bush...
During the first quarter of this year the economy grew a whopping .6% (of course I am being facetious and that is incredibly small growth) which means that technically we are not in a “recession” as a nation. Wow! What great news! What is the word that describes a state where that is true and...
