(Chris Kelly is a writer on the Bill Maher show. He also writes a column on the Huffington Post. – promoted by Ben) by Chris Kelly TheHuffingtonPost.com John McCain’s campaign just produced a new internet ad called “A Tale of Two Mitts.” (Get it? It’s a pun. Because “Mitt” and “City” are both words. Must [...]
Bush reminded me of a part card player. He really wanted to say mission accomplished again but didn’t dare. He so badly wants to believe that he is winning the war that he has lost all perspective. I can’t think of another time when military success has been defined in a reduction of fatalities with [...]
(Remember how Arthur Miller said charisma is not making people like you, it’s making people want you to like them? It looks like Obama read the same Arthur Miller book we did – and is taking Miller’s advice to heart. Either that, or he just knows it in his bones. – promoted by Ben) Team [...]
Hillary’s campaign tactics are causing some liberals to turn against the couple. January 26, 2008 by Jonathan Chait Something strange happened the other day. All these different people — friends, co-workers, relatives, people on a liberal e-mail list I read — kept saying the same thing: They’ve suddenly developed a disdain for Bill and Hillary [...]

Any other candidate who went around selling “change” would be a total joke to me. But, somehow, I believe Barack. Or, not exactly believe him…but support him DESPITE his rhetoric. As if I think I understand the guy on a deeper level and realize he’s not talking to me when he spouts that infantile bullshit [...]
OP-ED COLUMNIST The Democrats’ Fairy Tale By WILLIAM KRISTOL Published: January 14, 2008 “Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen.” Thus spoke Bill Clinton last Monday night, exasperated by Barack Obama’s claim that he – unlike Hillary Clinton – had been consistently right (or wrong, depending on [...]
Analysts at the Election Defense Alliance (EDA) have confirmed that based on the official results on the New Hampshire Secretary of state web site, there is a remarkable relationship between Obama and Clinton votes, when you look at votes tabulated by op-scan v. votes tabulated by hand:
Oh, let’s see. It was around eleven p.m. last night when we did “the TV switch” here at “Stately LM Manor”. A little ritual (that we are not alone in participating in, I’m sure) consisting of me shifting my television viewing from the the big-screen, back bedroom TV to the smaller one in the living [...]
