Small Town Values?

Tuesday, January 6, 2009

Yesterday, was a rather bad day for Levi Johnston (supposedly Sarah Palin’s future son-in-law). Not only did he have to quit his north slope oil job because he does not have a high school diploma, but his mother Sherry went to court on drug charges. What’s sad about the latter is that she appeared alone to […]

Hypocritical Political Preemptive Attack

Monday, January 5, 2009

I have noticed that the number of articles I have posted with the “hypocrisy” tag has gone down quite a bit since the long presidential campaign. But yesterday’s opinion piece in the NY Times more than makes up for it. In it John “I hate the UN” Bolton and John “I love torture” Yoo discuss […]

A Farewell to Bush

Sunday, January 4, 2009

I have often complained that the American media isn’t doing its job anymore, so I have to speak up when they do. And especially when they do it so well as the excellent article in Vanity Fair “Farewell to All That: An Oral History of the Bush White House“. This is a detailed history of […]

Fool me twice, won’t get fooled again

Saturday, January 3, 2009

© Dan Wasserman In case you were wondering about the headline, the full quote is: “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again.” —President George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. […]

Republican moderates stuck in the middle

Saturday, January 3, 2009

Several recent articles (LA Times, FiveThirtyEight) have pointed out the now uncomfortable position of Congressional Republicans, especially those in the Senate. On the up side, with Democrats one or two votes away from the 60 they need to stop Republican filibusters in the Senate, moderate Republicans will be heavily courted during close votes. But the down side […]

Grandma Palin Swings Back and Strikes Out

Friday, January 2, 2009

Those of us who hoped that we had heard the last from Gov. Palin (at least until the next presidential election) were disappointed when she went on the warpath this week against the media for what she called inaccurate reports about her daughter Bristol. As you know, Bristol recently gave birth to a son, Tripp […]
