The Times whips up its party’s fury
A couple of days ago I wrote about a NY Times editorial that seemed on the surface to be critical of Obama’s foreign policy, but was really a cleverly crafted apologia for him. Make no mistake about it: the Times … Continue reading →
Harry Reid’s war against the Kochs
Here’s the latest installment in Harry Reid’s two minutes hate against the Koch Brothers: Charles and David Koch are one of the “main causes” of climate change, charged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the Senate floor. “While the Koch … Continue reading →
Tea Party problem: too many choices
What happened in North Carolina last night? I think that blogger CAC at Ace’s hits the nail on the head in this post, and points out a problem that GOP conservatives had better figure out a solution to or they’ll … Continue reading →
The Benghazi email: it’s lies all the way down
As time goes on and the mendacity piles up, it’s getting harder to sort out and remember the entire hierarchy of lies this administration has told about Benghazi. And this, no doubt, is part of the plan—to get the opposition … Continue reading →
Is this finally the Benghazi smoking gun?

Bob Shrum gives Republicans advice
Bob Shrum is going for his ninth presidential campaign loss. The first eight were in his capacity as Democratic political consultant. The ninth will be as unofficial advisor to the GOP in 2016. This long-term partisan and dedicated Democrat is … Continue reading →
Obama to Republicans: My friends, let us work together
What a guy: President Barack Obama used his Thursday press conference to diagnose Republicans as fear-mongering, spiteful, obstinate, petulant and obstructive… Obama coupled his passive-voice diatribe with his more-in-sorrow-than-anger promise that he “would much prefer a constructive conversation with the … Continue reading →
The candidate as grandmother
Will Hillary Clinton’s impending grandmotherhood become a campaign issue, as in “softening” her, and adding “a compassion thing”? I must admit that the mere notion puzzles me. I assume that Andrew Ross Sorkin, the NY Times financial columnist who suggested … Continue reading →
Rage against the Republican nominee
As a still-rather-newish ex-Democrat (I’m not a Republican, but I vote that way), I remain surprised at the persistence of opinions such as this one on the conservative side. Yes, I understand the frustration with the Republicans and share it … Continue reading →
