Class Warfare
One trend I’ve loved in the last eight years has been watching Repubs scream “class warfare!” any time regular folk (or the very rare politician) criticizes the absurd tax breaks and other financial advantages given to the wealthy in this country. The irony is so palpable it’s like a 16-ton-weight falling on the speaker from [...]
Obama’s Dream Team
Not since Magic, Larry and Michael suited up for the original Dream Team at the 1992 Olympics have we so eagerly awaited the announcement of a national starting lineup. Such is the nature of Barack Obama’s selections for Cabinet posts and his White House inner circle. At point guard … Rahm Emanuel, the wizard of [...]
Fuck Joe Lieberman
Like all good lefties, I’m pretty pissed off that Joe the Turncoat Senator will get to keep his cushy chair of the Homeland Security Committee. Still, I understand that the Dems are nearing the 60-seat, filibuster-proof majority, causing their loins to engorge with blood that rushes from their brains, as happens in rutting elks. Hence, [...]

Revenge of the community organizer
Remember during the GOP convension when a smarmy Rudy Giuliani and smug Sarah Palin mocked Barack Obama’s background as a community organizer? What a delicious irony that that very experience likely will power Obama to victory over the out-of-touch Republicans.
Gators win in landslide; Obama next?
Florida swamped the dance-happy Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday in a landslide 49-10 victory. Now it’s Barack’s turn to not only win, but earn a true mandate for change.
Don’t be a hater
Received four GOP flyers in the mail this week, all fear mongering about Barack Obama. Only one of the four mentioned a McCain position. On the other hand, the one flyer I got from the Obama camp encouraged me to exercise my American right to vote and asked for my support — with nary a [...]
Of Gators and presidential politics
As great as a Florida victory over Georgia would be, I’d gladly accept a Gators loss in exchange for a Barack Obama victory next Tuesday.
