• State

  I would personally like to see Chuck Hagel or John Kerry in the role. After that, I wouldn’t mind Hillary Clinton. It certainly makes sense politically for Obama, although the fear of a Secretary of State going “rogue” would persist. And last, at the very bottom of the list, only if everyone else in the [...]

• One Positive From Bush’s Legacy

  Al Gore lost in 2000 and John Kerry lost in 2004 partly because the youth did not get out to vote. “Youth” is typically prescribed to those between 18 and 24 years of age. If you do not fall in that range, I’m sorry, but you are old. Obama’s current “lead” and his ability to [...]

• Election Ramblings

  With my work schedule ramping up, and all of the other bullshit* that life entails, I haven’t been able to blog as much about the election as I have wanted to. So here goes… – Two issues that should have been discussed at the debates, or at least mentioned once somewhere, anywhere during this election [...]

• Obama Leads (For Now)

  Jiminy Cricket — I mean, holy fuck’n shit… Obama leads in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. This still may be a part of Obama’s post-primary bump. Let’s wait and see what happens after the inevitable “Obama is a terrorist and he may be related to Osama” GOP television ads. Speaking of which, can we truly believe [...]

• McCain’s Image Problem

  Elections are about images. It may be unfortunate, but in today’s world of thirty-second soundbytes and an electoral process that whittles down important voters to a mere tens of thousands, it is a fact that we have to live with. The presidential election is foremost a beauty contest. And no matter how many stodgy speeches [...]

• Let Me Tell You About My Sock

  Let me tell you about my sock, my right sock, in particular. (I should note that this sock has also been worn by my left foot countless times; this is why I like this sock, he’s a switch-hitter. He’s not a part of those “Oh, I’m a left-only sock” and “I’m a right-only sock” crowds. [...]

• Nine Months

  For nine months, the administration did nothing. Bush and Cheney refused to accept Bill Clinton’s advice that Islamic fundamentalist terrorists were the gravest threat to the United States. They refused to meet with Richard Clarke. They refused to accept reality. (1) Did George W. Bush cause the events of nine-eleven? No. (2) Was George W. [...]

• Kerry: Should he stay or go? (5 in series of 9)

  Nine democrats are currently vying for the democratic nomination for President. This list may expand by 2 or 3 in the (near) future. Let’s take a look at the nine candidates and determine whether they should continue their earnest campaigns or bow out gracefully. Fifth in the series: John Kerry should stay indefinitely. Now that [...]

• Edwards: Should he stay or go? (3 in series of 9)

  Nine democrats are currently vying for the democratic nomination for President. This list may expand by 2 or 3 in the (near) future. Let’s take a look at the nine candidates and determine whether they should continue their earnest campaigns or bow out gracefully. Third in the series: John Edwards should jump out of this [...]

• Who are these 2-3 potential candidates?

  Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, former Vice President Al Gore, and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York are three people who may, at one time or another, jump into the fracas of the Democratic primaries. Ideally, Al Gore will remain on the sidelines and support Dean for President (who has the best chance at this [...]
