First — I watched a snippet of Maddow this morning (it was DVR’d — so not sure what night’s show it actually was) in which she interviewed Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson about Cheney, et al. He’s the former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell. One of the most interesting (to me) points he made with Maddow [...]

So the stimulus package has passed, as the sun rises on this beautiful Saturday morning. It wouldn’t have, without the help of Arlen Specter, Olympia Snow, and Susan Collins – courageous, centrist Republicans in a sea of dissembling, disingenuous, faux bipartisan doofusses mouthing old platitudes and marching in lockstep. Why? Putting politics first, it seems [...]
Pat Summitt’s Lady Vols gave her a solid, at-home victory over Georgia … and her 1000th win last night! She wanted to hit the milestone at home on the court named after her — and she did — thanks to her “Baby Vols” — a team that includes 7 freshmen!
How does she do it? Leadership [...]
Maddow on her interview with Blago … very weird stuff from the Gov. about cowboys here …
Much of this made great grist for Jon Stewart. And then here’s the actual interview …
Part 1:

Part 3:
Part 4:
Excellent interview, Rachel! Rod is not in touch with reality … but I guess that should not come as any [...]
Time is flying by and I am late (a too-predictable refrain these winter mornings). I’d been on a roll with getting up and exercising so far this week, but a late night spelled a late rising this morning. So I’ll see the treadmill tomorrow, but not today. Maybe I’ll hit the bike tonight … not [...]

So these are heady, miraculous times. The Hudson River miracle jet has been fished out of the water and Obama is in DC and will [...]

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 [...]

Thanks, ChristopherCornblog!
Voter suppression is a core strategy of the GOP — and it’s a threat to the fabric of our democracy. Share this … get the word out!
From the scary … to the ridiculous … read about how Governor Palin and the RNC are spending money while “real Americans’” wallets are in dire straits. Nice! [...]
It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means! Yep …. some more primaries and caucuses in the bag for Obama. Yesterday’s voting appears to have yielded Wisconsin, Washington, and Hawaii (okay, Washington doesn’t really “count”). Meanwhile, the flap about plagiarism trundles on for another couple of days but looks like it’s losing traction even as of this [...]
