For the early start to the Presidential election I’m surprised the first debate of either party didn’t generate much attention. Not even the junkies seemed really gung-ho.
The Hotline’s Nora McAlvanah informs us that the reason there wasn’t a lot of conflict at last night’s Democratic Presidential debate was the format: “The format, in which candidates […]
Here are two examples of people who have their moral compasses screwed up.
First, via Right Wing News, The Smirking Chimp’s Margaret Kimberley equates Sen. John McCain’s “Bomb Iran” ditty with Cho Seung-Hi’s shooting rampage then tops it off with a dollop of Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Next, we learn Oklahoma University put up a small memorial to […]
Michelle Manhart, the Air Force airman who got demoted for posing for Playboy has added to her modeling resume by posing naked for PETA’s anti-fur campaign. Manhart talks about her anti-fur views in a video on PETA’s weblog.

Jack Valenti, former head of the Motion Picture Association of America died at 85.
The highly articulate and pugnacious Valenti, a former aide to President Lyndon Johnson who served as the industry’s Washington, D.C., liaison from 1966-2004, was among the most visible lobbyists in the country, as comfortable testifying at a government hearing as he was […]
The NFL is thinking international, really international. How about the Super Bowl outside the U.S?
Commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday the league is looking into the possibility of playing a Super Bowl outside the United States, although not before 2012 at the earliest.
It was among a range of proposals he announced the league is considering during […]
The Democratic candidates didn’t put much effort into the post-debate spin room:
Leading candidates are skipping “spin room” after debate, leaving local surrogates to spin how well they did. Inez Tenenbaum, former SC Education Supt, for instance is spinning for Obama. The wife of Florence Mayor Frank Willis is spinning for Hillary Clinton.
They knew Mike Gravel […]
Being the high point of the Democratic Presidential debate that wasn’t Mike Gravel is getting more attention from me than he deserves. Mike, you better appreciate this.
Here’s Gravel on some issues:
Iraq: “As President, Senator Gravel will call for a U.S. corporate withdrawal from Iraq and hand over reconstruction contacts to Iraqi businesses which will empower […]
One word summary: ZZZZZZZ.
Here’s a little bit of substance:
Dennis Kucinich wants to be a “healer” by letting women kill their unborn children.
Joe Biden owns a shotgun and controlled his mouth for once.
Barack Obama doesn’t have a clue what he’d do if he was President. But he looks like a statesman when arguing with Kucinich.
Mike Gravel […]
David Broder, a man so old rumor has it he covered Lincoln’s first Presidential campaign, espouses on the two latest examples of Washington ineptitude: Alberto Gonzales and Sen. Harry Reid.
I’ve written enough about Gonzales. No need to waste more electrons on a man too dumb to know he’s made a fool out of himself and […]
The Financial Times has as package of stories examining the new carbon offsets industry. Since the idea of carbon offsets is nebulous and abstract snake oil salesmen pop up.
A Financial Times investigation has uncovered widespread failings in the new markets for greenhouse gases, suggesting some organisations are paying for emissions reductions that do not […]
If President Bush can be criticized for not understanding the kind of war being waged in Iraq then Sen. Harry Reid can certainly be criticized for not understanding the wide horizon and many fronts the United States faces in the Islamist War. When Reid declared the Iraq War “lost” last week Col. Jeff Bearor (USMC, […]
Brendan Dassey was found guilty of killer, raping, and destroying the body of Theresa Halbach. I now hope the Halbach family can finally get some peace.

Iowa Voice found a Kossite gushing sadness for the Virginia Tech mass murderer Cho Seung-Hui (or the Americanized Seung-Hui Cho). Cho was a victim of an adopted nation that “let this man slide through many a crack.” Cho was oppressed for being a minority and an immigrant on top of it. To Bcgntn Cho endured […]
