As I've tried to make sense of the Robo-Signing, Document-Backdating Foreclosure Scandal That Never Ends, a couple of things have popped in my head: Animal House and Alan Greenspan. Stay with me here.
I used to housesit for this hippie couple when I was a teenager. While they were away, I searched their home for porn. This was the early 1970s; you c...
Lost in the coverage of President Obama's too-gentle smackdown of John McCain at the health care reform summit was something sublime that passed from McCain's lips.
Reagan is often looked upon as the Republicans' FDR. But Reagan sold the nation a bag of goods. We can finally see clearly the failed results of this three-decade experiment in laissez-faire capitalism.
Don't let them tell you this economic meltdown is a complicated mess. It's not. Our national financial crisis is readily understood by anyone who has seen greed and hypocrisy.
Obama made clear that he would not remain passive in the face of tactics such as the Willie Horton ad that undermined the 1988 campaign of Dukakis or the Swift Boat attacks against Kerry.
Campaign finance records show that McCain accepted contributions from 41 partners of the law firm Keating Muething & Klekamp. As the name suggests, the firm was founded by Charles Keating.
The present economic collapse, which will surely devour more than a trillion taxpayer dollars within the next six months, utilized an earlier model -- the Savings and Loans swindle.
Let's say McCain wins and Sarah Palin takes over for Dick Cheney. I think it will be a smooth transition, we won't even miss a beat. I'm here to say, "What's the worst that can happen?"
Not for nothing did McCain carry the moniker "McNasty" during his prep school years. McCain's struggle with a volcanic and unstable temper has apparently been life-long.
While we're all waiting for someone to leak the Palin Troopergate Report (which is reminiscent of waiting for "Fitzmas" during the whole Scooter Libby...
I decided to put together a list of people with frightening beliefs and/or criminal backgrounds that McCain and Palin are tied to. We should all push to make the traditional media really dig into these relationships.
The Washington Times reports that in 1986, John McCain wrote a note on House stationery to Charles Keating, chairman of a failed savings and loan asso...
Character assassination is grossly unfair, but it's not unfair to judge people by the company they keep. No man is an island, least of all in politics.
Whatever you believe about Bill Ayers and the Weathermen, the fact remains that he is not running for president. But John McCain doesn't really have any other arrows left in his quiver.
It's all negative all the time now in the TV ad wars. For once, Obama has stolen a march on McCain in the campaign hit parade. And his attack strategy seems to be much more on the axis of decision for this election.
The Obama and McCain brands have been rated by branding-strategy expert Patt Cottingham of Genuine Imprints, Ltd . Her paper "Brand Obama or Brand Mc...

The Obama campaign has released the full video of "Keating Economics: John McCain and The Making of a Financial Cris...
As the stock market recovers from its biggest single-day drop since the crash of 1987, a former federal regulator who had a front-row view of John McC...
Surprise! It's our first anniversary column!
But before we get to that, I have to pass on this information, in the hopes nobody will get stung by a v...
Sadly, America is in the thick of the biggest national financial crisis since the savings and loan meltdown of the 1980s and McCain was at the epicenter of the 11th bank failure this year.
John McCain said something ridiculous to a reporter yesterday.
I hasten to point out that the previous sentence should have been a major media headlin...
If pundits want to note McCain's maverick moments, fine. He's had some. But it never ceases to amaze me (call me naïve) how this flattering label circulates uncorrected.
