The Symbolic President

As Americans continue to the polls, I wonder how many people actually understand the role of a US President. There are both explicit powers granted to the executive branch through the constitution and there are those powers that have been established through practice and precedent by acting Presidents, sometimes questionably so.
For some people, the original [...]

Dream Ticket: Not Hillary and Not Obama

We here at TNH have been taking pop-shots at Hillary Clinton for a while now. Most of it has been fair and constructive criticism aimed at debunking some of the mythology of Hillary Clinton. However, speaking only for myself, I may have overstepped the line once or twice.
I would like to go on record saying [...]

BREAKING NEWS!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Lee Kane here with some breaking news…    The Hillary Clinton campaign is disagreeing with Sinbad!  That’s right folks, now that Hillary Clinton’s record of time in the White House has been released, now that her wealth of Presidential “experience” is finally out for the whole world to see, we have come to the crux [...]

Do we re-do?

We’ve all been hearing a bunch of smack lately coming out of the Clinton campaign regarding the disenfranchised voters of Michigan. Hillary’s deep, sincere concern, of course, comes from her extensive history as a community activist and organizer as a young college graduate on her way to a law school. Who would’ve ever guessed that [...]

Name that Pastor!

Let’s play Name That Pastor! Answers will be noted at the bottom of the post.
No cheating! Ok… let’s roll:

“I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of [...]

Our Fifth Anniversary

Dear Iraq War,
As you know, today marks our fifth anniversary.  First off, let me say I am very sorry I could not be with you in person on this very special day.  
Do you remember how it all started? 
March 19th, 2003.  There were weapons of mass destruction, ties to al-Qaeda, and a connection to 9/11.  Of [...]

Republicans for Hillary Clinton!

I bet that is something Democrats thought they would never hear. Do you remember the partisan hate-fest the Repubs were throwing for Bill while he was in office that resulted in his impeachment? It was a disgrace. So, it would only make sense then that some of that vitriol is now aimed at his wife. [...]

Monday, something to forget…

Lee Kane here. 

So, it’s Monday morning and I’m heading into the office as the realities of the work week start sprouting up in my mind.  What is it I do again?  What’s today?  Did I remember to wear green?

And I’m thinking how my brief stint of weekend amnesia to help plug me back into the weekday [...]

Calm Before the Storm

I have been crazy busy with a life outside of politics and blogging recently. I suppose it is good to have a life beyond my keyboard and CNN. So, here are my thoughts for today. It is quiet, almost too quiet.
I think our candidates are loading up their cannons and getting ready to fire. I [...]

Back to Black for Clinton

Hillary’s campaign has been on loose ground with black voters for some time now. Things started going wrong when Obama won Iowa and the American public began to see a black politician as a viable candidate who could transcend racial lines. African- American voters took notice of Obama and saw a black man who [...]
