It's The Iraqonomy Stupid

2 Comments | Posted July 11, 2008 | 03:39 PM (EST)


I got interviewed by one of my favorite reporters earlier this week, someone who not only actually understands new media but also does shocking things like actually talk to real people and not just take campaign talking points as fact.

The question was now that the economy is the Number...

Unintentionally Humorous Right Wing Talking Points For The Summer

11 Comments | Posted June 30, 2008 | 09:51 AM (EST)


Over the past 18 months, I have had the chance to do a number of spots on MSNBC as a Democratic strategist, and have heard some pretty funny things in my ear from my colleagues on the right, but with the presidential campaign heating up, the talking points from the...

Barack And His Shadow: Should He Appoint A Shadow Cabinet Now?

Posted May 29, 2008 | 08:56 AM (EST)


The standard operating procedure for a nominee is to let the contenders for say, Secretary of State, fight it out through the general election in a battle to bring the nominee the most votes, the most money, the most positive press and the most assistance. I saw this first hand...

Annoying HuffPost Trend: Elected Democrats Posting On What's Wrong In Washington

Posted May 15, 2008 | 10:23 AM (EST)


I have been a proud and passionate supporter of The Huffington Post since it was just a twinkle in Arianna and Kenny's eyes. But there is a trend that has grown and grown and grown, that frankly, is one part humor, one part tragedy.

I refer to the trend of...

Have A Great Day! (18 Veterans Will Kill Themselves Today)

Posted May 13, 2008 | 10:26 AM (EST)


It's Tuesday May 13, 2008 and on this day in history, The Beatles debuted the movie Let It Be in 1970 and back in 1943 German and Italian forces surrendered in Africa but that's nothing compared to what we have for you today.

Right now, it's 7:30 am here in...

The Single Hardest Thing For Candidates To Understand

Posted May 8, 2008 | 02:32 PM (EST)


There are a lot of hard things about running for office, like asking all of your friends for money, but the single hardest thing for any candidate to understand, whether they are running for The White House or The State House or the City Council is that the consultant class...

You Own It -- You Broke It

Posted May 2, 2008 | 06:52 AM (EST)


While Nancy Pelosi has been working on her amiable friendship with George Bush, and Harry Reid has been making sure that a Senator endorsing, supporting and prone to introducing John McCain at his campaign stops keeps his Democratic Committee assignments, the Republicans have been fine-tuning one of their strategies for...

Meet Your Democratic Leaders: ChickenSh*t Coward Edition

Posted April 30, 2008 | 09:38 AM (EST)


I have been accused of being angry and I would like to say this for myself.

I'm angry.

I'm angry that our party has no leaders, zero, none, nada. And I'm really angry that those in leadership positions seem intent on reaching across the aisle, playing it safe, not choosing...

Is This the Last Newspaper Stand?

Posted April 28, 2008 | 07:37 PM (EST)


Ever since the Huffington Post launched, three years ago in a few weeks, May 9th to be precise if you wish to send Arianna flowers, we have seen the continued strength and rise of online media, and the continued free fall of newspaper circulation.

Every six months, the large...

Nancy Pelosi Hearts George Bush And His War In Iraq

Posted April 24, 2008 | 07:45 AM (EST)


After answering question after question about how the American people can possibly think that Democrats, especially the subset of the species that lives in Washington DC are nothing more than spineless, clueless eunuchs, I have done some exhaustive quantitative and qualitative research and discovered the reason behind these widespread beliefs:

Ben Stein: Yoko Ono On Line One (And The Killers Are On Hold)

Posted April 17, 2008 | 09:05 AM (EST)


UPDATE AT END RE: The Killers

Before I discuss whether Ben Stein, Walt Ruloff, and everyone behind the movie Expelled are not only crooks but liars, they are, please allow me the opportunity to apologize again to Mrs. Lennon regarding the assumptions (since retracted) that I made in

Yoko Ono Sells Out John Lennon To Creationist Manufactroversy -- UPDATED AND RETRACTION

Posted April 14, 2008 | 10:11 AM (EST)


All:

Well, it's been an interesting time since I first published this. I never thought that someone, far less Ben Stein, would take a song as famous as "Imagine" and use it in his film without permission.

However, I have learned that in fact Yoko Ono did not license the...

No Bailout For Bear Stearns, Or For Any Homeowner For That Matter

Posted March 17, 2008 | 07:45 AM (EST)


I hate to raise my hand and risk being voted worst person in the world, but we have lost our way when it comes to the mortgage crisis and the credit crunch. Actually, we have not just lost our way, where we are, we can't even see the road anymore.

Barack Obama: Popular Vote Landslide, Electoral College Loser?

Posted March 3, 2008 | 08:50 AM (EST)


On Sunday mornings, I have the great joy and honor of appearing on Mario Solis Marich's show on KTALK in Los Angeles. It works out fine for me because while it's 7:15 out west, in cold Boston, it's a more appropriate 10:15.

Yesterday, we broached what I think will...

Hey Bill O'Reilly, Sticks And Stones Baby

Don't be angry about Bill O'Reilly comparing our friend and masthead mistress Arianna to the "Nazis" -- really don't.

Because in doing so, Captain Sex Scandal has...

Watching Freedom's Watch: How Your Money Flows From Vegas To John McCain

Posted February 27, 2008 | 09:08 AM (EST)


When you go to Las Vegas, you have a lot of choices of where to stay and where to spend your money. You can go high-end, low-end and now, with Sheldon Adelson openly supporting 1,000 years of war in Iraq, you can also go neoconservative-nutjob end.

In 2007, Sheldon Adelson...

Fellow Huffington Post Blogger, Stonyfield Farm CE-Yo, and all around good guy Gary Hirshberg has just written a great book that takes head on, and shreds completely, perhaps the single biggest myth about the environment and business - the falsehood that being good to the earth is going to...

Fighting The Last War: Democratic Obsession With Swiftboating

Posted February 21, 2008 | 10:45 AM (EST)


John O'Neill, as far as I know, has crawled back under a rock in Houston and except for the infrequent guest shot on Fox News, will stay there. He may still be milking his thirty plus year side career of lying about being in Vietnam with John Kerry, but no...

Why Economic Stimulus Should Be Green

Posted February 8, 2008 | 03:37 PM (EST)


Let's start with politicians talking the talk on global warming and the environment.

Well, I don't believe that climate change is just an issue that's convenient to bring up during a campaign. I believe it's one of the greatest moral challenges of our generation. -- Barack Obama, from an Iowa...
