So John McCain has picked Gov. Sarah Palin to round out his ticket. Already she is showing herself to be bearing baggage. First, she is under investigation: Gov. Sarah Palin, a rising young GOP star mentioned as a possible running mate for John McCain, could see her clean-hands reputation damaged by a growing furor over [...]
Ohio man sentenced for sending racial hate letters. It just isn’t true. We are free to send as many racist letters as we want. Buried in the story is the real reason this idiot got into trouble: According to the April 9 indictment, Tuason sent a letter to the Supreme Court on July 25, 2003, [...]
Total fantasy, but maybe you’ll enjoy: First, let me promise you that I won’t talk for two hours. I think I can make three and a half with no problem. If you think that’s funny, remember it three hours from now. I’m pleased to be here speaking to you as we watch George W. Bush’s [...]

Hahahahahaha Just like not everyone who dislikes Hillary Clinton is a misogynist, not everyone who [...]
I love me some Jon Stewart. The only way to make the Daily Show better would be to have Bill Murray guest host. Or Jane Curtin (of course, with Dan Akroyd). Technorati Tags: Jon Stewart Sphere: Related Content
I want to like you again. Do this: Most pundits say that Hillary Clinton must emphatically show her support for Barack Obama. I certainly agree with that. But I think her task is much greater. She needs to become the biggest and most memorable attack dog of the convention. She must do to John McCain [...]
I got onto this kick because of Bruce Weinstein‘s column on the ethics of protest. Of course, from a professional standpoint, I’m much more interested in the politics of the matter. As I’ve read more about the “protests” in Denver, the more convinced I am that the whole thing is probably illegal – and it [...]
In response to Pastor Dan’s post about Jim Wallis‘ response to the response to his crowing over fuzzing up the pro-choice plank in the Democratic platform, I ran across this misleading statement: Whatever your or Jim Wallis‘ personal positions are on abortion, the fact remains, and will always remain, that abortion policy is a highly [...]
