In 1993, feminist alt-rocker Liz Phair released Exile in Guyville, a song-to-song response to The Rolling Stones’ superb Exile on Main Street.
I’ve been thinking about Liz Phair’s response to the rockin’ but boorish Rolling Stones after reading Jacob Weisberg’s If Obama Loses: Racism is the Only Reason McCain Might Beat Him in Slate. Unlike Phair, […]

The Just Say No Deal/PUMA movement is evidence of a deep rift in the Democratic Party, one I believe the polls are not reflecting. Contrary to what the neo-liberals may say, the movement is not comprised of bitter old women — although many are bitter, many are women, and some are perhaps old. […]

The AFL-CIO endorsed Obama. They have released two mailers. The first mailer is here:
• “Does he wear a flag pin on his lapel? Yes, but not always. Like many presidential candidates, sometimes he wears a flag pin, sometimes he wears a breast cancer awareness pin, sometimes he wears his U.S. Senate […]

According to the majority of the American “press,” Obama’s Magical Mystery Tour was met was fawning, adoring fans everywhere he went. Oh, they just FLOCKED to him, didn’t they? Especially in Berlin - oh, yes, never mind the free food and two hottest rock bands in Berlin playing first, they were there to see HIM!! […]

Barack Obama, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and Obama Supporters attempt to Assassinate the Character and Convictions of Senator Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton through the use of persistant Sexist and Mysogynistic Commentary meant to debase and degrade Both Hillary Clinton, her supporters, and Women Everywhere who are Standing in Greater Numbers and rising […]

Our great thanks to Bud White for arranging this interview, and to V who always does remarkable work in […]

It’s all over the press that beginning Friday, Hillary Clinton will be fundraising with the presumptive nominee, Barack Obama. For many of us, I’d say at least a few million, this is a nauseating thought. While we respect Hillary for her loyalty, we will not be joining her efforts. In fact, for me at least, […]

While the question of how Barack Obama became the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee has many of us speculating, his candidacy for president is being questioned by voters outside of the party.

John Heilemann interviews Hillary Clinton for an article in the NY Magazine. It is quite interesting, offering some new perspective and some post mortem thoughts not found elsewhere (yet). I think what Heilemann says here will gradually appear elsewhere. He says that by losing, Hillary has at least gained something: stature […]
