Every time I worry about John McCain actually becoming our next president, I just remember what happens to McCain every time he opens his mouth: he puts his foot in it.
Now that McCain has a one-on-one battle ahead of him with Barack Obama- a battle complete with a series of debates- the entire country will […]

For the first time in my life, I’m going to say something positive about Dick Cheney.
Cheney may be a war criminal, he may have been the mastermind behind virtually every George W. Bush policy debacle, he may have held the Constitution and Bill of Rights in contempt… but Cheney showed us that the position of Vice […]

As each day goes by, Hillary Clinton reminds me more and more of the Miss Havisham character in Great Expectations.
In the great Charles Dickens’ novel, Miss Havisham, a wealthy and powerful woman, was left at the altar. The disappointment so profound, that she snapped. Miss Havisham never removed her wedding dress and stopped all of the clocks […]

Last week, I took Scott McClellan to task (I guess calling someone a War Criminal is taking them to task) for his gutless, opportunistic, after-the-fact, attack on the George Bush administration in his new book- What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception.
Fortunately, McClellan has been vilified from voices all over […]

Scott McClellan, George W. Bush’s former propaganda minister, is trying his hardest to convince America that he is a hero. He has taken it upon himself to take Bush and his administration to task for myriad offenses.
McClellan’s book, “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception,” as everyone knows by now, […]

As anyone who has followed the 2008 presidential campaign knows, racism is a fact of life in America.
Much of White America will not vote for Barack Obama purely on the basis of his race. We have seen that in West Virginia. We have seen it in Kentucky. We will see it on a grand scale […]

To all of the Hillary Clinton supporters who are devastated by the reality that your candidate is not going to become president- I feel your pain.
To all of the Hillary supporters who say they will vote for John McCain rather than Barack Obama- You are insane.
I understand that in the heat of battle, there is […]

Maybe I’m naive. Maybe I’m stupid.
Maybe I’m just missing the point.
Someone needs to explain to me what terrible thing happens when we meet directly with our enemies. What is so terrible about diplomacy being an integral part of foreign policy?
Barack Obama is being vilified, ridiculed and crucified for his belief that we have a better […]

Finally- It ends tonight.
A battle that has seemingly taken longer than the 100 Years War, will end with a whimper this evening.
When the smoke clears from the Kentucky and Oregon primaries, Barack Obama will emerge with a guarantee that he will hold the majority of pledged delegates at the Democratic Party Convention. That is the […]

Two Hundred and Forty-Five days.
That’s the good news.
Two Hundred and Forty-Five days.
That’s the bad news.
If you haven’t figured it out already, the 245 days are the number of days George Bush has left in office. While it’s nice to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, it is terrifying to think about […]
