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, [...]

Voter Suppression in Michigan and Florida

The Rules and Bylaws Committee will be meeting this weekend to to determine what needs to be done with the delegates from Michigan and Florida.
Hillary Clinton’s people have been pushing for every delegate to be seated. She has demanded that every vote be counted and every voice heard. I agree, but unfortunately that will never [...]

Obama is our Mulligan

Golf – I don’t do it. I might even go so far as to say that I have an aversion to it. I am at an age at which the time and money needed to bring me from a fumbling novice to someone other people might actually want to play with is prohibitive. That, and [...]

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 [...]

Terry McAuliffe Once Had Principles

Camp Clinton just doesn’t like rules…except when they do.
I found this little nugget while perusing DailyKos last night. Terry McAuliffe, Clinton mouthpiece and over-exuberant cheerleader, has been a very vocal part of the Clinton’s push to seat delegates from Michigan and Florida. I wrote a piece just two days ago about how ludicrous it is [...]

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 [...]

Hillary Loves Long Goodbyes

Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Kruger, Leatherface, Hillary Clinton, Care Bears and herpes: Terrifying things that refuse to go away.
Just when you think Hillary is done – her campaign in debt, losing in delegates and popular vote, viewed as dishonest by 58% of Americans and making ridiculous ‘mistakes’ such as concocting stories about her experience [...]

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 [...]

Obama: Man of Steel

Not that endorsements really matter that much but this one is interesting. On Monday, Dan Rooney, the beloved owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, endorsed Obama for President:
“As a grandfather and a citizen of this community, I think Barack Obama’s thoughtful, strategic approach is important to America,” Rooney said. “When I hear how excited young people [...]
