The Bush-era memos are revealing all sorts of nasty things that we all suspected … like Condi’s complicity in torture and, of course, Dick’s general and ongoing dickishness.
Watch Hillary as she shares her opinion of Dick in this brief snippet …
Or this one, where she lays ‘em out nicely …
Go Hillary — I love it.
And, [...]
I can’t believe that I am doing this … but I feel moved to add the White House website to the links here in the JordanCornblog sidebar. I feel moved to explore the site, read the blog, check it all out periodically. What is happening? As someone who grew up in the sixties and came [...]

I read yesterday in the NY Times that Caroline Kennedy is declining to disclose some pretty basic information, pursuant to her pursuit of the NY Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton. I can understand her reticence, from a personal preference point of view – but then I haven’t asked a Governor to nominate me to [...]

This is pretty old news, but it’s the first chance I’ve had to read a bit of the inside scoop on Hillary as Secretary of State. Meanwhile, speculation about Biden’s role (or lack thereof, to date) appears in the NY Times. It’s never simple, is it? I am struck by how thoroughly politics is [...]

Lots to write about today … and let me start with what’s been nagging at me ever since this whole Wall Street debacle became the latest national emergency. I keep thinking, “What if this really is an emergency? Bush certainly looked terrified last night in the clips I saw of his address to the nation. [...]
Oh boy, Sarah Palin. Where to begin? There is so much to explore and highlight and, yes, ridicule, about this choice.
When I first heard McCain’s selection, yesterday afternoon, I immediately Googled her, like millions of other Americans, I’m sure. Wikipedia, as expected, was at the top of the search results. I clicked on her entry, [...]
It’s “hump day” and I’m heading back to work tomorrow after a LONG vacation. This morning I’m celebrating the Phillies’ amazing come from behind win over the Mets. (Can you say first place?) Seven runs down and they come back and win it in the 13th. Go Phillies! That … and the Red Sox pummeled [...]
John Tomasic has put up a nice piece (and interesting video) on the Huffington Post about Hillary and Hillary supporters … as we head toward the convention. It certainly appears that HRC has accepted the Obama nomination and is working with the DNC on moving forward in a unified way.
In the meantime, John McCain is [...]

McCain’s Geography (and Internet Travels), Hillary’s VP Chances, and (Of Course) Some USWNT Soccer …
John McCain made another Bush-worthy geography gaffe yesterday – this time on “Good Morning America.” Sorry, John, Iraq and Pakistan don’t actually share a border. (As an aside, I’ve always wished that some brave member of the press would ask Bush, during a press conference, to point to Iraq on a map. Now that would [...]
Tonight’s full moon will look unusually large. Apparently that is a big fat moon illusion – and one that is particularly pronounced in June. Speaking of June and moons … what was that movie with Cher that had the word moon in the title? Anybody know? Maybe it’ll come to me …
In the meantime, I’ll [...]
Unfortunately, USSF is not exactly being forthcoming on news of the USWNT vs. Brazil game. What I’ve been able to cobble together is that the USWNT won 1-0. The goal was scored by A-Rod. Abby played an awesome game … as did Boxx (based on some of the comments I read on BigSoccer). It sounds [...]

According to the Huffington Post this morning (quoting unnamed Republican operatives) the McCain campaign is in deep do-do. This is the kind of story I love to start off with on a too-hot Monday morning! And check out this priceless piece about the Golf Gear that Senator McCain is selling on his website … in [...]
It certainly sounds like Hillary’s concession speech hit all the right notes. Here’s her speech in its entirety. Nice job, Hillary. It put me in mind of Al Gore’s concession speech in 2000 – although (thank goodness) Hillary’s is conceding to Obama, not Bush! Gore’s speech was one of the most uplifting I’ve ever heard [...]
Joe Lieberman, that guy who ran with Al Gore (remember) persists on his path toward perdition (IMHO). As Joe continues to carry water for McCain, it’s nice to read this piece on the Huffington Post about Obama cornering him and giving him what for. And if you had doubts about Senator Obama’s ability to be [...]
… and it’s reported on the Huffington Post that Hillary Clinton will be making a major speech tonight – one to which she’s invited major donors and supporters. If this isn’t it, it’s gotta be coming soon. It’s my hope that at this juncture, Hillary will go gracefully and the party can begin to unify.
Speaking [...]
