Obama Won: Do I Effing Care?

So today is Wednesday. I came home from work last night, stopping to pick up some spicy Thai noodles with tofu, and slumped down onto my post-modern sofa. I contemplated opening up the bottle of pinot noir I had just received in my wine club shipment, a quarterly reminder of just how drunk I got [...]

Has Barack Obama Won the Nomination?

Obama has more than enough delegates to be assured of capturing the nomination. The delegates are not finalized yet, as they are able to vote however they wish at the convention, but for all intents and purposes the primary is over and Obama is our nominee.
I am disappointed that Senator Clinton did not make more [...]

Motley Crue for Barack Obama

Don’t Go Away Mad
…That’s alright, now that’s okay
We were walkin’ through some youth
Smilin’ through some pain
That’s alright, let’s turn the page
And remember what I say girl
And it goes this way
Girl, don’t go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don’t go away mad
Now girl, just go away
Here we go
Don’t go away mad
I don’t want you to stay, [...]

Bake at 350 Degrees for Duration of Primary

When is done, done? When is over, over? When do grains of sand become a pile? When do two separate entitities capable of endlessly dividing the distance between them actually meet?
So many questions tonight need answering. To fall back on hackneyed phrases, ‘where there’s smoke there’s fire.’ We have smoke filling up the kitchen because [...]

5 Out of 5 Economists Agree – Clinton Idea is Dumb

The McCain-Clinton Gas Tax Holiday proposal is a monumentally bad idea and just another example of the short-sightedness of these two candidates.
Do people care? I am not sure.
We have a knee-jerk, band aid fix that will arbitrarily force down the price of gas encouraging Americans to drive more over the summer. I am no economist [...]

Hillary Clinton for President 2012

Here’s some fodder for the conspiracy theorists among us. James Clyburn, (D) South Carolina and House Democratic Whip, mentioned in an interview yesterday that he is hearing speculation that
Clinton is staying in the race only to try to derail Obama and pave the way for her to make another White House run in 2012.
According to [...]

Things You Are Never Supposed to Say

If you are self-professed political junkie who has followed this race closely and worked on primaries in various states, both geographical and mental, I would venture to say there are things that should be kept to one’s self.
I will not be doing that for the rest of this post.
I am tired. I am tired in [...]

Is Hillary Clinton Done?

I originally was going to begin this piece by giving a quick recap of the Pennsylvania debate but I decided against it. There is enough to be found here Washington Post and here DailyKos,
My recap in terms of the lack of substance of the debate: a tale told by an idiot…signifying nothing. Thank you [...]

Worst. Debate. Ever.

- we don’t make a practice of reposting in verbatim other blogs and posts we read but I, severely tired of watching debates, tuned into the Hornets vs Mavs game on ESPN instead of watching the debates. I know, I am a bad American – at least for one night.
What follows is post on last [...]

Guns, Church and Steel: A Pennsylvania Primary

I wrote a piece the other day about Bitter-Gate and in it came to the conclusion that there was a lot of merit in what Senator Obama was trying to say. I offered him kudos for admitting a poor choice of words but not backing off from the substance therein.
People who have suffered from government [...]
