For all of the vitriol that I've thrown in Hillary Clinton's direction, it's nothing compared to my contempt for John McCain. I don't know if he's been a millionaire in Washington D.C. for so long that it makes him completely tone deaf to the experiences of others or if he's...

I've been as outspoken as anyone over the last week in pointing out Hillary Clinton's dishonesty, but theWall Street Journal's glee over Clinton's emerging reputation as a serial exaggerator is incredibly disturbing :

Hillary Clinton's been all the news this week, after she "misspoke" about Whitewater, Travelgate, missing files, suspicious...

Apparently being caught lying on your resume brings out the venomous side in Sen. Clinton.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a wide-ranging interview today with Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporters and editors, said she would have left her church if her pastor made the sort of inflammatory remarks Sen. Barack Obama's...

Do you want to know how McCain beats Hillary in November? In short, the same way George Bush beat Al Gore (minus the Supreme Court coup). As Rolling Stone explained in 2001 :

Last year, a review conducted by two nonpartisan groups, Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Pew...

I think Hillary Clinton is absolutely right to suggest that she's been criticized in the press more than any other candidate, but the way I see it, her fame is a two-edged sword. While she gets held to a different standard due to her fame, she wouldn't be where she...

Atrios catches some anti-WGA strike bias on CNBC, a network that prides itself in catering to "business executives and financial professionals that have significant purchasing power". The chyron reads :

WHAT ARE THEY FIGHTING FOR?

4,434 Hollywood guild writers worked full-time last year.

Average salary: $204,000

Since the President was so concerned about "socialized medicine" that he vetoed SCHIP expansion, can we assume that his trip to Southern California tomorrow is to deliver a lecture about the evils of socialized firefighting? After all, if the free market is the best way to fight poverty, injury, and...

On the day after he joined his fellow Rethuglicans in the Presidential race (Get it? Re-thug-licans? Hahaha!), I threw down the gauntlet to Stephen Colbert and challenged him to a debate from a neutral forum, the Rupert Murdoch-owned Myspace.com :

Don't get me wrong. I like Barack Obama. If the primary were held today, he'd probably get my vote. But the honeymoon is over in Obamaland and it can't be written off with canned responses about how unreliable early poll numbers are.

If you look around the liberal...

What sort of advice would you give to an atheist whose fundamentalist 13-year-old daughter is upset at belief that her father is going to hell? If you're Salon's advice columnist, Cary Tennis, you give the worst advice possible.

Her problem is not that she believes in God. It's that she...

He seemed like a normal kid...

The oldest of three brothers raised on South L Street in Lake Worth, Florida, [Charles] Whitman attended St. Ann's High School in Palm Beach, where he was a pitcher on the school's baseball team. Charles and his brothers all served as altar boys at...

I'm with John on this one...what the hell?!

Indeed, the big liberal blogs have a formal boycott against linking to TNR because they consider us the enemy on precisely those grounds.

We all know how much George Bush loves to play dress-up...

It looks like the Republican dirty tricks machine has been in full force over the weekend sending fraudulent robocalls to voters in multiple states. Here's the details from Talking Points Memo (who's actively tracking the story) :

What we're talking about is something a bit different. What we're seeing is...

Jeez, this Republican crybaby crap over John Kerry's comments is just pathetic. It's amazing to me that the GOP has a reputation for toughness when they throw temper tantrums over meaningless shit. Watching the President of the United States use his bully pulpit to shed crocodile tears is just...

By "hack" in the title of this post, I don't mean to imply the standard political usage (eg. "The conservative bias at Fox News makes it clear that the network is run by political hacks"), although that's definitely part of it. When I say "hack" in regards to Joe Lieberman's...

Since when is the "party of personal responsibility" so quick to find excuses for sexual misconduct? Mark Foley revealed that he was molested by a priest and that he's an alcoholic, but does that absolve him of responsibility for his horrible behavior? No. It may explain why he did what...

Andrew Sullivan is resorting to his usual "both sides are awful, but I'm above the fray" act with the GOP cover-up scandal.

Here's Mark Levin with the Foley talking points from the RNC. Here's another Republican argument that this is all about Democrat-MSM dirty tricks. Meanwhile, there's some O-Reilly-esque harrumphing...

Seriously guys. I'm not joking. The reaction to my previous post, "Don't Vote Democrat", was understandably mixed (which is a kind way of saying "almost everyone hated it"), but let me address some of the common concerns. For one, I can assure you that I'm not a "GOP plant"...

I'm not kidding. If the last week is any indicator of what we've got to look forward to in a Democratic Congress, then don't bother. The last time they were in charge we got the Patriot Act, the Iraq War resolution, and the Medicare drug bill. Now with every poll...
