    Random Recitals

    The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone's neurosis, and we'd have a mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a bunch of happy chuckleheads.

    Hartmann To Obama: Drop Public Option - Good Idea! KISS Principal

    Image via Wikipedia

    Hartmann lays out a perfect solution to the health care debacle.  Why don’t we have more people like him running our government?

    Dear President Obama: A Modest Medicare Proposal

    Dear President Obama,

    I understand you’re thinking of dumping your “public option” because of all the demagoguery by Sarah Palin and Dick Armey and Newt Gingrich and their crowd on right-wing radio and Fox. Fine. Good [...]



    It Is Pure Joy

    to have a President who was elected by the people and who can communicate effectively.

    News Conference



    It is going to take a while to recover from the last 8 years of abuse.

    militia-madness is back

    And Sarah Palin is their poster girl:

    Federal agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said Monday.

    In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn., federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target [...]



    How Come Cindy Didn’t Help Her Out Instead?

    Politico is reporting that the RNC paid for the Alaska Disasta’s $150,000 wardrobe since August.  This is raising legal questions as normally items that are personal in nature cannot be purchased with campaign funds.

    Seems to me that since Cindy McCain grossed over $4.1 million last year (and over $6 million in 2006), John should have asked her to pick up this minor expenditure.  After all [...]



    Cleese on Palin, Palin for President

    John Cleese of Monty Python’s Flying Circus says he used to think “Michael Palin was the funniest Palin”:

    For those of you who do not know Michael Palin, here is Michael Palin for President:

    a pie in the face is the very least i’d like to give john mccain

    I’d very much like to give him a piece of my mind.

    I was born on Long Island, just a few train stops from Hofstra University. If all you know of Long Island comes from F. Scott Fitzgerald (or Paris Hilton), that strip of expensive real estate may seem like a giant McMansion tract. But when I was born in Garden City in 1965, Long [...]



    no longer the hero

    if he ever was, McCain has become Richard III, Iago and Macbeth rolled into one.

    He is the scheming, lame and eternally bitter Richard of Gloucester, needing to kill all goodness around him so as to never face that contrast to his black soul, and needing war, too, as peace gives him nowhere to put his rage:

    But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
    Nor made [...]



    Biden’s Greatest Hits

    Here is the best “straight talk” that came out of the debate.

    I doubt we will hear the hockey mom talk much or even see much of her anymore.  Too bad, she is quite helpful to Obama’s polling numbers.
