A few months after 9/11, I sent an urgent plea via email to Senator Hillary Clinton’s Office. It seems, a local news plane had buzzed Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant for twenty minutes and the U.S. government did nothing to stop it.
Indian Point is fifty miles north of New York City. The World [...]

In 2006, The Huffington Post reported that the Republicans were preparing a “Daisy” ad against Barack Obama. Now Hillary Clinton has beaten them to it.
For those of us who may have doubted just how far the Clintons would go to win the primary, we now have the answer: They are willing to hand a finely [...]

Bill Clinton teed it up, and now the media are about to swing the club.
Hillary Clinton needs to beat Barack Obama in the Texas and Ohio Democratic primaries on March fourth. But as been repeated countless times by veteran delegate counters, Senator Clinton needs to beat Senator Obama by a minimum of 65% in both [...]

Earlier today, I got an email from the Obama campaign saying that they expected Hillary Clinton to throw everything at them including the kitchen sink. I was concerned for Senator Obama.
I couldn’t imagine what a desperate and, at times, schizophrenic seeming Senator Clinton would do given the last few days of alternating warmth, scolding, and [...]

Well, he’s back again like a bad penny. Yes, the perennial candidate and election spoiler, and the man who brought us eight years of George W. Bush, Ralph Nader is running for President again.
Nader is an intelligent man with a lot of good issues and a very moral underpinning. The trouble is that he doesn’t [...]

Speaking in Ohio today, Senator Hillary Clinton accused Barack Obama of sending misleading campaign information out through the mail. Obama immediately shot back and said the mailings were factually accurate.
It was Hillary’s overheated, angry and scolding tone that will capture the next news cycle by the time the media gets to run with it. If [...]

I agree with Michelle Obama when she says that for the first time in her adult life she is proud of America. Perhaps it is difficult to hear and I cannot speak for the Senator’s wife about her experiences or motivations. But for me, it is not because of all the young people who have [...]

“The Best Political Blog On The Internet”
Have you ever gone to a movie and hated it, then the next day you found out it was up for Best Picture?
That’s how I feel when I watch a political debate and then listen to the talking heads describe it. The problem is that the movie you hated [...]

Michelle Obama has been caught by the “gotcha gang” for having the audacity to imply that America was ever imperfect or not worthy of her unvarnished pride. We all know what she meant. Those of us who grew up in the 60’s know that when we criticized the U.S. policy in Viet Nam, bumper stickers [...]

Warning: This Blog entry has been plagiarized. Every single word in it has at one time or another appeared somewhere else. Not necessarily in the same order, but these words have definitely been used before.
Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I can address the same idiocy the Clinton campaign has applied to a [...]
