EXCERPT: How Big a Clothespin? It has been several months since I have posted in this blog.  One reason has been the work that has been required getting the over 58,000 names posted in my Namnesia Antidote blog.  The names on the Vietnam War Memorial Wall have been posted at least in triplicate there.  Work continues and those postings and indices will continue to expand. While the other blog has taken the majority of my time, I studiously avoided making any...

EXCERPT: To all the what are you doing to create HOW are you channeling your vociferous anti-Clintonism into pro-Obama togetherness?  A few examples would be nice.  Here are a few of what is NOT WORKING:
A prominent donor to Senator Barack Obama recently sent an e-mail plea to other supporters, asking them — for the sake of Democratic unity — to write checks to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to help retire her $23 million in campaign debt. Some of the replies are...

EXCERPT: Just in case you missed this, while it is not getting much press in the MSM John McCain’s behavior surrounding his divorce of his first wife leaves some burning questions for those of us that are “Family Values” voters.            McCain's broken marriage and fractured Reagan friendship   By Richard A. Serrano and Ralph Vartabedian, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers

EXCERPT: who is different than we are, the first response of most is to pass judgement instead of responding to them as a person.  The worst offenders are those who claim to be followers of God, yet they are the first to be intolerant, belligerent and hurtful.  If you are truly a follower of the word of God, then you must love your neighbor and show love for our fellow man.  In today's society the gay and lesbian communities are the new or current victims of...

EXCERPT: Or maybe it's just his strategists.  From a great piece:
David Plouffe, manager of Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign, keeps sending me e-mails asking me to cough up money because the presumptive Democratic nominee's fundraising is, supposedly, as pure as the driven snow. Somehow, my name got on Obama's list of prospective suckers, and for months I've read this song and dance about how he has freed himself from the tentacles of special...

EXCERPT: For weeks I've claimed the RNC would make gas prices an "attack" on Obama.  This week I pointed out Gingrich's 527 aimed at the same goal as well as discussing the push-back Democrats need to undertake NOW.
So imagine my surprise that this week-end the RNC has begun airing 30 second ads in swing states touting McCain as the energy modernist and Obama as an energy obstructionist pushing of course, voters pain at the pump.
Now, we have "Praying at the...

EXCERPT: "2 to 1" is a light overstatement.  It is Democrats 9 to Republicans 5, but only pundits like R. Hudson Limbaugh III (and AA) will point that out.
The larger question this headline answers is: "What did ALL presidents accomplish in the last 50 years?"
The answer (and the Brookings Institute article, from 1999 is too dated to include the Bush melt-down of the last eight years) is leveling.
Maybe Democrats outstripped Republicans because the more liberal society...

EXCERPT: Iraq's hardening demand for a pullout deadline for US troops on Tuesday sent shockwaves through the White House campaign, putting Republican hopeful John McCain on the defensive. McCain, who says it is too early to leave Iraq, said US pull-backs must be dictated by security conditions, after Democrat Barack Obama said the Iraqi government now shared his desire for a timetable for withdrawals. Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said on Monday that Iraq was seeking such an...

EXCERPT: These oil-whore cowards: DENVER — Faced with a surge in the number of proposed solar power plants, the federal government has placed a moratorium on new solar projects on public land until it studies their environmental impact, which is expected to take about two years. The Bureau of Land Management says an extensive environmental study is needed to determine how large solar plants might affect millions of acres it oversees in six Western states — Arizona, California,...
