While Sunday was glorious (despite the rain), Saturday morning sucked (despite the sun) largely because my mind kept going back to NPR’s man-on-the-street interviews in Altoona PA regarding the upcoming elections.
Like the rest of the country, they hate the war and Bush’s policies, but rather than, you know, voting for a candidate who speaks [...]

Or is it Roger Stone?
I missed out on the “Obama is an evil Muslim” email, but this morning I received two copies of an email purporting to be from a “Black American male” who is “not a Republican” and is just altruistically writing because he worries that America may “make the biggest mistake our nation [...]
From Alan Greenspan’s attemp at self-exculpation in the Financial Times this weekend, We will never have a perfect model of risk:
The current financial crisis in the US is likely to be judged in retrospect as the most wrenching since the end of the second world war. It will end eventually when home prices stabilise and [...]
We have Ferraro implying Obama has an unfair advantage because of his skin color. But this just disgusts me and makes me ashamed to be an American:
Rep. Steve King of Iowa said Monday that he won’t apologize or back down from his prediction that terrorists will be “dancing in the streets” if Democratic [...]

For John Roberts, there’s nothing playful about being the devil’s advocate:
Chief Justice John Roberts was pained.
Exxon Mobil, the giant oil corporation appearing before the Supreme Court yesterday, had earned a profit of nearly $40 billion in 2006, the largest ever reported by a U.S. company — but that’s not what bothered Roberts. What bothered the [...]

Inflation on the rise, foreclosures at records levels and the dollar’s in the toilet; have fun running on Republican fiscal responsibility, St. John! From our international banker this morning:
Heavy and continuing dollar sales for euro. Reportedly the dollar sales are coming from Chinese, Korean and Middle East names. The sales drove the US [...]

A suggestion to Obama: show this Seinfeld clip whenever someone questions your patriotism based on your lack of a flag lapel pin.
KRAMER (to organizer at desk): Uh, Cosmo Kramer?
ORGANIZER: Uh…o.k., you’re checked in. Here’s your AIDS ribbon.
KRAMER: Uh, no thanks.
ORGANIZER: You don’t want to wear an AIDS ribbon?
KRAMER: No.
ORGANIZER: But you have to [...]

Good old Mitt: he’s the gift that keeps on giving, showing the world how completely unmoored to reason or principal the GOP is. First, his endorsement of McCain:
Standing alongside McCain, the former Massachusetts governor said yesterday, “Even when the contest was close and our disagreements were debated, the caliber of the man was apparent. [...]

By a single vote, Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked an expansive fiscal stimulus package championed by Democrats, as partisan rancor engulfed the effort to inject a quick burst of spending into the slowing economy.
…
The measure was opposed by Republican leaders who said the Democrats added too many costly provisions, including an extension of unemployment benefits, [...]

It seems Dear Leader took his trip to the Middle East not so much to persuade the Israelis and Palestinians to make nice, but to ramp up his threats toward Iran.
First, we had the Tonkin on the Hormuz “they’re attacking the fleet!” bullshit. Then there was Bush’s one and only big speech over there [...]

I guess 9/11 hasn’t been quite as lucrative as Rudy hoped - at least not in terms of political contributions:
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) About a dozen senior campaign staffers for Rudy Giuliani are forgoing their January paychecks, a sign of possible money trouble for the Republican presidential candidate and last year’s national front-runner.
…
The former [...]

One day after a rare winter tornado cut a 5-mile swath through the center of town, resident David G. Van Auken had this published in the Letters section of the Columbian:
…We constantly hear how compassionate politicians are. Therein lies the problem. To make correct decisions that affect the largest number of people, emotions [...]
