(With apologies to Paul Simon)
The problem, it all comes down to race, he said to me
The solution is simple, if you drop him gingerly
Listen and I’ll help you win the NC primary
There must be 50 ways to dump your pastor
Just find a new church, Lurch
Give up the cross, Ross
You don’t have to pray, Ray
Just get […]

Real politics is getting very tiresome.
In the real world, people are talking about John McCain’s discount flights, Barack Obama’s preacher and Hillary Clinton’s memory lapses.
It’s time to escape the real world and look at the American political process through the eyes of Hollywood.
Politics has always been a topic that has fascinated filmmakers and the subject […]

I’ve just gotten used to the idea that liberal is a dirty word.
Politicians would rather wear Hester Prynne’s “A” blazoned on their chests than the God-awful “L.”
Now, we have a new dirty word in politics. Elitist.
Just ask Barack Obama. The elitist tag proved to be his downfall in Pennsylvania. He was the one with the Harvard […]

Basketball was Barack Obama’s first love.
It’s the game that taught him many of life’s lessons.
Unfortunately, it seems like Obama has forgotten one of the biggest lessons the game has to offer: Don’t sit on a lead.
Obama ought to know better. How many times have we seen basketball teams go up by a huge margin, only […]

With the 2008 Olympic Games just a few months away, I can’t help but find some startling similarities between the events surrounding the 1936 Berlin Olympics and the upcoming Beijing Olympic games.
The 1936 Olympics was meant to be a coming-out party for Germany.
Germany had rebuilt since the disastrous First World War and Adolph Hitler had […]

You knew it would come to this.
With her back against the wall, Hillary Clinton, with allegedly progressive credentials, has decided that the time has come to play the race card. With Pennsylvania a must-win state, Hillary used subtle race-baiting to ensure her victory.
In trying to get the votes of Pennsylvania’s significant rural and blue-collar populations, […]

You’ve been seeing a lot of ads with spry, old people lately.
Whether the ad is for Viagra, Ameriprise Financial, or Cialis, those 70-somethings are out there running marathons, jumping out of planes, running with the bulls in Pamplona and having hours of acrobatic sex.
Ok, so I’m exaggerating a little… but just a little.
These ads are […]

What has happened to the Democratic Party?
There’s nothing wrong with a good political battle, but there’s something drastically wrong with political suicide.
We have allowed acrimony and bitterness to tear our party apart, while John McCain has been the beneficiary.
Hillary Clinton may have won the Democratic Primary in Pennsylvania, last night, but that result is ultimately insignificant.
Unless […]

Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave us The New Deal.
George Walker Bush gives us an appearance on Deal or No Deal.
Our Commander in Chief made a cameo appearance on Deal or No Deal to give a message to a contestant, who had served three tours of duty in Iraq (the third tour, mind you, was a stop-loss […]

It was terrific to see that Danica Patrick won her first IndyCar race on Sunday.
With the victory, Patrick became the first woman ever to win an IndyCar race. The win represents one more step taken by women athletes, one more barrier shattered. Patrick’s name joins an impressive list, one that includes such icons as Billie […]
