Talk of Bush - Clinton Dynasty is a Big Fat Red Herring
All over the blogosphere I keep reading the phrase “Bush - Clinton Dynasty,” especially in readers’ comments to blogs. WTF? When were these two families combined?

With Oscars, Hollywood Leads America to an International Vision
As the U.S. continues to “go it alone” in the world with regard not only to neocon-style hegemony but also regarding environmental treaties, war crimes treaties, weapons bans, land mines, and transmitting any other number of insults to critics and allies alike, there is a large moneyed faction of “ordinary americans” seeking to take up […]
Congress Must Exercise Power of the Purse
The old saw “Power of the Purse” takes on new meaning as a woman controls the gavel in the house. Now that she’s busted up that nasty “marble ceiling” maybe Mrs. Pelosi can take her gavel or her purse an bust up some Republican war-mongering while she’s still swinging.
This week Sen. Byrd’s Appropriations Committee takes […]
Craig Ferguson’s President’s Day Confessional
If you’ve been following along, you’ll know I try and do something just a bit different on Sundays. I’ve seen this video posted around a few times but didn’t really know Ferguson and his work or the nature of the video. I’d read that he was saying to cut Britney Spears some slack. I tended […]

John Edwards and Civil Unions
The You Tube poster, who can be found at nickadamsweb, headlines this video, “John Edwards speaking at Dartmouth College equivocating his ass off on gay marriage.”
From my point of view, this is closer to what I wanted to hear from Edwards than what I’ve heard before. I have praised Hillary for her affirmative, half a […]

John in DC of American blog writes
[quoting David Brooks]

I might congratulate right-wingers for discovering irony, finally, even when it’s turned against people like me. Unfortunately, much of their stuff seems to like to dance on the […]

From TheRawStory: Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein says the lack of truth and candor from the Bush administration is unprecedented in his experience. This president has a record of dishonesty and obfuscation that is Nixonian in character in its willingness to manipulate the press, to manipulate the truth…That’s the real story [the press] should have […]
Time for Hillary, Edwards, and Obama to “Grow a Pair” on GLBT Issues
I’m no more homophobic than the next gay man — that is to say, while I’ve internalized the negative and stereotypical images and language that I’ve been exposed to all of my life, I have the intellect and the discipline to compartmentalize and not to be defined by them. I truly and fully embrace my […]
