Inaguration Day

The Orderly Transfer of Power

An amazing event is taking place: the orderly, peaceful transfer of power. From President George W. Bush to (soon to be) President Barack Obama. From the Republican party to the Democratic party. Without guns or threat of violence. The political process works. It’s times like this that I’m proud to be an American. ___ Hat [...]

Quote of the Day — Bob Kerry

In a June 8, 2008, op-ed in the New York Times, Bob Kerry writes: So, the most accurate answer to the question of which of Mrs. Clinton’s mistakes was most costly is probably one I have heard from a number of people and has been written by many others: She and President Clinton should have [...]

McCain-Jindal Ticket?

A John McCain-Bobby Jindal ticket? Barely half McCain’s age, Jindal was born while McCain was at the “Hanoi Hilton.” At 36, he makes Barack Obama antiquated (and let’s not even talk about the antediluvian McCain).

Bird-Brained Obama Supporter

I can only imagine the abuse this bird has endured. ;-) ___ Hat tip: techPresident.

Obama-Clinton Ticket? Please, No…

Politico speculates on the pros and cons of an Obama-Clinton ticket. I don’t see it happening. How could a Obama, the “candidate of change,” choose Clinton? We’ve had a Bush or Clinton in the White House since 1981. ___ Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/moorealx/ / CC BY-ND 2.0

“Is Obama Black?” is the Wrong Question

Dave Winer asks, “Is Obama Black?” I ask, “Who cares?” After all, is Tiger Woods black? His ancestry is as multiracial as Obama’s and equally irrelevant. Last I checked, a golf ball doesn’t care about the the golfer’s ancestry or skin color. And the only sort of golf club that cares is a racist institution. [...]

Quote of the Day — Dick Morris

The danger Wright presents is obvious enough. Wright has come to epitomize everything white Americans fear in an African-American public figure, secular or clerical. He is anti-white, anti-American, and avidly embraces and propagates all manner of bizarre conspiracy theories. [...] But if Wright has come to be the poster child for what America fears in [...]

Quote of the Day — Andrew Sullivan

I guess I am late to the party, am I not? I didn’t watch Jeremiah Wright’s National Press Club performance live this morning, as every other blogger seemed to. Wright is not on the ticket of any major party, he is not Barack Obama, and I’m not going to be baited into making this campaign [...]
