The DNC Pops Its Hood Ornament »

Whoopsie—The Democratic National Committee’s hood ornament got ..er..unscrewed and bounced into the street.

(I think the “D” should [...]

What Could Have Been »

Misogyny was the central narrative of the Obama campaign »

(image from Post Secret)
The image above was posted on Post Secret on November 8, 2008. I have no doubt that the dominate narrative of this campaign — the forceful suppression of women — is responsible for the author’s “secret.” In the Obama-realm, feminism isn’t just bad, it’ll ruin your life. One only need to look [...]

Where Do I Start »

Ok, yes, I do know there was a little thing going on with the economy. Hey, as [...]

Holding the DNC’s Feet to the Fire: An Interview with Marc Rubin of The Denver Group »

In the face of some powerful Democratic fundraisers/supporters of Senator Clinton and even Democratic legislators now boldly endorsing Senator McCain, it is clear that the wheels may be coming off the Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Dean/Brazile bandwagon.
