Now He Can Win
While I stand by my assessment of Arnold Schwarzenegger, my conclusion was wrong. Schwarzenegger, by failing to fail in last night’s debate, has assured himself probable victory in next month’s election should Gray Davis be recalled. State Sen. Tom McMcClintock … Continue reading

Webs of Pleasure
Via John Wyles — After reading about this experiment, I bet you’ll think twice before drinking that coffee. Now, it’s probable that the spider was exposed to a much higher, unproportional dose of caffeine than humans. But it’s still a … Continue reading

Stuck on the Clintons
Despite countless denials, Republicans and the media just can’t get it through their thick heads that Hillary Clinton is not going to run for president. The latest conspiracy theorist is William Safire — the same guy who brought us the … Continue reading

America’s Voices?
I was really looking forward to this show. I’ve always thought Republican pollster Frank Luntz’s focus groups were the best part of Hardball, giving us a window into what some “average” (if more informed and articulate) people felt about the … Continue reading

End of the Draft
Why I support Wesley Clark: WHY are so many here in America hesitant to speak out and ask questions? (Crowd answers “BUSH”; Clark nods his head) Well we’re going to ask those hard questions, my friends, and we’re going to … Continue reading

I watched CNN’s Sept. 11 Remembered the other day. It was well done, depicting, as well as any other program I’ve seen, the great tragedy of that day as told by the people who witnessed it. In the “climactic” segment, … Continue reading
