Chris Matthews says something that makes sense
I know, it’s crazy. But it happens sometimes. My theory is that Matthews just talks so damn much that purely on a statistical basis he’s bound to burble out something true once in awhile.
This is a transcript of his remarks on Morning Joe a couple of days ago, forwarded [...]
Behind-the-scenes with the Obama campaign on the Rainbow Tour: exclusive footage!
“Rainbow High”
[Eva:]
There again I’ve more to do
Than simply get the message through
I haven’t started
Let’s get this show on the road
Let’s make it obvious
Peron is off and rolling
[Eva's dressers:]
Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, movement
Hands, magic, rings, glamour
Face, diamonds, excitement, image
[Eva:]
I came from the people, they need to adore me
So Christian [...]

Tulipomania
A delicious comment from Horseloverfat over at the Mighty Corrente Building:
It is a mania, like with the Dutch Tulips. Obama is the biggest, bestest most wonderful tulip bulb there ever was - tulip bulbs being worth ever so much guilders because everyone agrees it is so.
O joy! Sing to me, horseloverfat, of tulipomania! [...]
It’s not about Obama vs. McCain
The central issue of this election is not Barack Obama versus John McCain. The central issue is the future of the Democratic party.

The Democrats really, REALLY don’t deserve our votes
Please take a moment to review the imaginary scenario I constructed in this post from May 7: Why I will not vote for Obama even if he’s the nominee — and why you shouldn’t either.
(By the way, when I wrote that I hadn’t heard about Obama using “99 Problems (But A Bitch Ain’t One)” [...]
160 years after Seneca Falls: how are we doing?
July 19, 1848: one hundred and sixty years ago today. In Seneca Falls, New York, 300 women and men gathered to discuss “the social, civil and religious condition and rights of Woman.” It was the first women’s rights convention in American history.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a young firebrand [...]
“Do you want to live in fear?”
That’s the video accompanying Soldier4Hillary’s current essay, one of several she’s authored over the past few months.
If being a female Clinton supporter has been a trip through hell, being a black female Clinton supporter has been a permanent assignment to Dante’s lowest circle. An old beloved friend of mine, a lifelong feminist and [...]
He’s the One
I am the one I’ve been waiting for.
I disagree with Charles Krauthammer on many things, but he has gimlet eye for Opossum:
Americans are beginning to notice Obama’s elevated opinion of himself. There’s nothing new about narcissism in politics. Every senator looks in the mirror and sees a president. Nonetheless, has [...]
