The biggest question for Obama in the wake of the Wright controversy is: why didn’t he more forcibly repudiate his pastor, or at least question him? Surely, as a political animal, he knew this was a political time bomb. Part … Continue reading →
In yesterday’s “grandma” thread, commenter “md” wrote: I’d suggest that your bias prevents you from even understanding [Obama’s] speech, or at least to pretend misunderstanding, tho admittedly the speach was a political one. But I’d suggest that Sen Obama was … Continue reading →
First we had paper grocery bags. I liked them, not the least because they were versatile. Good for wrapping packages for mailing and, long ago, excellent as textbook covers. But then the news came that they were environmentally wasteful. Too … Continue reading →
