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, […]

In order to “save” the Democratic Party, Brazile resolved back in 2003 that she might have to destroy it first. And who better to help her in this lofty pursuit than her new best friend, the man neoconservatives call “The Architect”.

Some reputable journalist or historian needs to write the real story of the Hillary-Obama war that took place over the past year. I went to a web site listing the one hundred greatest books ever written and came up with the following suggested titles:

I learned from personal experience–and earlier than most–the lengths to which Obama supporters will go to stifle opposition to their candidate. My exposure involved a Des Moines attorney, Gordon Fischer, who is a past chairperson of the Iowa Democratic Party. Perhaps it is no coincidence that he is […]

This election season has seen many new voters come out to show their support for their candidate. We have seen many young people come out to support their choice as well. The youth vote is usually a small, unreliable voting block. This is according to history; of course, we have made a lot of history […]

SusanUnPC’s note: This is a vitally important story to read. May I add that a dedicated reader informed me that “rant” is not the term to use; rather, we are presenting the most cogent, persuasive arguments.
