Hugo Chavez on “Comrade Bush”
The largest government bailout ever – currently being presided over by George “the small government candidate” W. Bush – has not gone unnoticed by the “Mouth of the South” Hugo Chavez. He recently commented on “Comrade Bush”:
Chavez, who calls capitalism an evil and ex-Cuban leader Fidel Castro his mentor, ridiculed Bush for his plan for [...]
Live-Blogging the Final Presidential Debate
10:30 PM EDT
Curtains.
Final statements were underwhelming.
But when McCain mentioned his family’s history of military service I couldn’t help but think of Lieutenant Dan.
Winner: Obama.
McCain is all done. It’s over.
Your final thoughts?
(Thanks again to the C-Span Debate Hub folks for connecting with us.)

Last question? Oh well.
Is there anyone in their right mind who [...]
Final Presidential Debate Warm-Up
The candidates will clash tonight at Hofstra University in New York. The topic is domestic policy and it all kicks off at 9:00 PM EDT. The moderator is CBS’s Bob Schieffer. Politico offered him some advice earlier today.
I will be live-blogging the event. Stop by and say hello. You can contact me directly via [...]
Why Are Presidential Politics So Ugly?
That’s a rhetorical question – obviously they are. I’ve had some spirited discussions lately but nothing quite this exciting:
At that point one of the arguers, Johnny Morales, 26, got out of his seat, grabbed the other arguer by his head “and slammed it into the wall, causing a minor laceration with bleeding to the back [...]
The Average American?
What percentage of the U.S. population do you think are made up of people like those in this video? And do you think they’re fans of Sean Hannity?
(Hat-tip to Andrew Sullivan)
I caught some heat for referring to Palin’s campaigning style as “political pole dancing.” What else would you call it? Republican commentators like Rich Lowry [...]
Is This The End For America?
There’s been a lot of speculation lately as to whether or not the American empire is in its last days – some subtle, some not so subtle depending on who you listen to. And I’m not just talking about the wishful thinking of Chavez and Ahmadinejad.
Andrew Sullivan recently said this:
Until the US scales back [...]
Vote or Lie
I’ve received a few emails asking what I think about recent polls showing Obama and McCain in a tight election race. My answer – What race? The 2008 Presidential race hasn’t yet started in earnest. Neither side has announced their Vice Presidential pick (each is probably waiting for the other to blink first), there are [...]
Super Delegates: What are they?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, you’ve heard of “super-delegates”. I’m not even going to try to explain how super-delegates work because it’s pretty complicated (see how confused President Bush gets when he thinks about it).
Obama Wins New Hampshire Primary!
The media is all about Obama right now. He appears to have Hillary Clinton on the ropes. This is good for Democrats. As I said before, he is the only Democrat that can win in the general election. If Hillary gets the nomination (which she won’t), she loses the general election. Obama will get a [...]
