Well, it’s beginning to look a lot like Clinton. Despite the enormous charismatic and inspirational persona that is Barack Obama, the Clinton machine is coming straight at him like a speeding locomotive and super Tuesday is not looking all that great.
This is a shame because Hillary is bad news for many reasons. Not the least [...]

Awhile back, I voiced my reasons for supporting Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in this space. In answer to a comment I gave reasons why I don’t support Hillary. I think it they’re worth repeating here:
1) I think that Obama has a better chance of winning in the general election than Hillary. I think the [...]

I was one of Bill Clinton’s staunchest supporters during the darkest days of his presidency. In fact, I considered myself the Rabbi Korff of Bill Clinton.
You remember Rabbi Korff, don’t you? He was Richard Nixon’s last friend in the world after he resigned. Well, when the likes of George Stephanopoulos and Madeleine Albright abandoned Bill [...]

Today, Governor Huckabee lost the votes of all but the most fanatical evangelicals in the country by calling for a Constitutional amendment that would put the country under the law of the Bible.
Saying that “it is easier to amend the Constitution to conform with the word of the living God” than the other way around, [...]

Today, Apple introduced the ultra thin ultra sexy MacBook Air. This is, in typical Apple style, an elegantly designed notebook computer that is about as thin as an iPhone.
Yes it is gorgeous. But. . . .
It lacks an optical drive. And while Apple touts the fact that “you don’t need an optical drive” because it can wirelessly [...]

There’s a new book about to come out called The Bush Tragedy that, according to the reviews I’ve read, examines how this country squandered its position and good will in the world by electing a President so inexcusably unqualified as George W. Bush. How did we do it?
Well, the process is going on right now [...]

Three things that require change:
A Dollar bill, A baby’s diaper, and our current political discourse.
The reduction of the current political campaign to a bumper sticker sized slogan is yet another example of the lack of adequate political discourse in the U.S. I can understand the media’s failure: They’ve been getting everything wrong since Edward R. [...]

“How do you do it?” a woman asked Hillary Clinton in the final moments of the New Hampshire primary. We all know now that Hillary’s answer contained a possibly winning break with her calculated and tightly controlled responses of the past and may have been partially responsible for stemming the predicted Obama landslide.Hillary started out [...]
