Obama voted—a parliamentary error, Obama says—to block funding for a child-welfare facility in Hendon’s district. Hendon rose and criticized Obama for the vote. The two men became embroiled in a yelling match on the Senate floor that looked as if it might become physical; they were separated by Courtney Nottage, then the chief of staff [...]
What a sad thing that such a great man, so deserving of the presidency, would loose an election to catchy phrases. It still bewilders me how stupid people were that Bush 3rd term stuck on him in 2008, and in 2000 they made “Clinton’s 3rd term” stick…
This was such a missed opportunity to do the same cover, only with Cindy wearing the gun and sporting a blond Afro and John McCain wearing the Afghani garb while “terrorist fist-jabbing” with a picture of binLaden hanging over his shoulder. That would have been much more thought-provoking and smart. No matter the context it [...]
There seems to me no question that the Batman film “The Dark Knight,” currently breaking every box office record in history, is at some level a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has been shown by George W. Bush in this time of terror and war. Like W, Batman is vilified [...]
Here we go wih another Obama’s opponent: Senator Joe Lieberman, serving aptly as John McCain’s foreign policy attack dog, jumped on a conference call with reporters on Wednesday to rip holes into Barack Obama’s stance on Israel. Playing off of Obama’s address to the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the Connecticut independent acknowledged that he [...]

In virtually every way, including the size of their family, John and Paula Lawrence are quintessentially middle class. They live in a white brick Colonial in the leafy upper Northwest section of Washington. He is a commercial real estate lender. She is an audiologist. Their daughter, Candice, 12, attends private school, plays violin in a [...]
Some guys like to compare the racist past of Democrats with the racist past AND present of Republicans. Obviously those two aren’t the same thing. The point isn’t that, in the past, Republicans have had racists among them–it’s that they still have racists among them whom they venerate. People don’t begrudge Robert Byrd for being [...]
Now, if I were a longtime observer of the Chicago political scene, I might suggest that the good Rev. knew exactly what he was doing and where he was doing it. You see, Rev. Jackson isn’t going to lose a whole lot of popularity because of this statement – his place in history is secure. [...]
