If you live in the District of Columbia, Maryland, or Virginia, today is the day! Get out and vote in the “Potomac Primary!” I’ll be casting my vote for Barack Obama. And if this is all weighing too heavily on you, here’s something to watch:
A quick note to the campaigns of Senators Clinton and Obama: Shut the fuck up already! Seriously, this mud slinging has got to stop now. Where’s the talk about actual issues? About what your plans are for the things that are legitimately troubling the people and security of the United States? All of this petty …
On recent political developments: Much as I’m not a supporter of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, I’m pleased that the 2008 Democratic nomination is still a wide-open affair after the initial salvos in Iowa and New Hampshire. Seriously: two lily-white states with mostly rural populations should not be the primary vetting groups for a candidate who is …
Want to see ‘em? Go here, to my more politically-oriented site. Heading in to 2008, that’s where I’ll post my political opinions. (And yes, I’ll build a link off of this site soon.)
It’s been a great Thanksgiving. Granted, the drive up here was hellish. Traffic in Maryland was very, very slow, and the flow didn’t really clear until after the Delaware toll plaza. From there, it was smooth sailing, though we’d lost a lot of time by then. We arrived in Connecticut after 3 am, and I’d …
So the racist wingnuts won their races in Prince William County, Virginia. I’m not pleased. But what’s even more infuriating? Only 17 percent of registered voters turned out to vote. 17 percent! That’s criminal. I mean, one of the few freedoms to remain these days is the right to vote. If you’re over 18 and …
Dearest protesters of the IMF and World Bank: Any time your protests become violent, your message is lost. Completely. Unmistakably. Lost. And you lost it tonight.
George W. Bush should simply shut up. I mean, c’mon: calling Iran’s development of nuclear technology (which is equally likely to be for energy needs as weaponry, if not more so) a potential catalyst to World War III is ludicrous, reckless, and pedantic. You, Mr. Bush, are a fool. You’re trying to pick a fight …
I went to the DC for Democracy (DCFD) meeting at Ben’s Chili Bowl last night, where a vote on endorsement of a presidential candidate took place. These events are almost always contentious, and it’s the first time the group has had to face the prospect of endorsing a candidate for president (the group evolved out …
He does not speak for me. He does not speak for intelligent people. He lies. He lies to his advisers – as they undoubtedly do to him. He lies to the people of the United States. He lies to the world. Under his watch, the United States has become less safe from terrorism. Under his …
