President Clinton Touts Gas Tax Holiday
Bill Clinton will hold six rallies today in Indiana. He'll push Hillary's gas tax holiday at each one. Reaction is mixed. "It's a good first step," say some. But mostly: "We want a permanent solution."

She may have done little to elucidate Barack's policy positions, but I learned she doesn't like Billary and doesn't give a piss who knows it. That she's not political is one of her best assets.

Thanks to a runaway black and white puppy who went haywire on Second Avenue and 70th Street in New York, I saw again the basic decency in people and felt some hope for the future.

I am writing this partially in support of Sen. Obama, but just as much as an homage to all my deer-hunting, Pucker drinking, four-wheel riding Hoosier homies, many of whom are blood.

Obama seems to be the only one of the three Presidential candidates who does not defiantly hold himself above moral imperfection, and who, ironically, likely seems aloof to his critics precisely because he is the most at peace with his own flawed humanity.

Our critical inner voices function to keep us feeling bad about ourselves by diminishing our self-confidence.

I've spent all night playing the new Grand Theft Election VIII and it's the most exciting First Political Shooter since the original Grand Theft Election: Bush v. Gore.

As our generation contemplates the future after two decades of spectacular but poorly-distributed economic growth, we refuse to accept that anybody who wants a say on America's future must make a fortune first.

You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time -- and that's good enough to start a war or make some money.

The Democratic debate in Philadelphia was a farce. So Democratic bloggers at MOMocrats asked Obama to answer a series of real questions online. And he did.

There's only one small problem with Hillary and McCain's "gas tax holiday": the oil companies are likely to pocket most of it.

Well, I don't care what Democrat wins the presidency; I just want he/her to appoint me as Media Czar. And I mean "czar" like the crabby old Russian czars. Like Putin.

The caucus itself was an amazing experience. More than 700 citizens, cornering each other, lobbying each other, hectoring each other, working the room.

If we want to help this country, we must realize that the new generation of Americans comes in different flavors, sizes, has different sexual preferences and religions.

Based on the AP's almost-final vote count (which hasn't budged since Wednesday afternoon), Clinton has blasted her rival out of the water with a triple-digit margin of victory: 9.31%.

The long primary is not all bad. There is record voter turnout; tremendous numbers of new voters; large numbers of independents voting Democratic. These are all major pluses. Take a breath, people.

Our election machinery is flawed and vulnerable. It's a telling comparison-- the amount of money we spend on fair elections versus the amounts we spend on campaigns or on bringing democracy to Iraq.

If the Clintons have proved one thing during their public life, it is that they are absolutely impossible to embarrass. They are genetically incapable of shame.

The Times editorial board's attitude ignores the evidence that negative, fear-inducing advertising actually has far better civic effects than positive, enthusiastic ads.

Americans love both winners and quixotic heroes who do great things in a losing cause. Last night in Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton was both: she won and so continues on in her sad adventure.

"She's a smart woman... Hillary is the one to lead us to gain the respect we have lost in the world. If Obama gets the nomination, I'm voting Republican." Problem she said was that Obama's an elitist.

Al Gore thought more of the health of the Republic than he did of winning the election and the cost has been enormous. Come August, I suggest Obama invest in chain mail and a blade.

Since you have got bigger and better> things to do than speak with me in person, I'm writin' this letter. I will always love you Barack, but I WILL NOT be there on Tuesday.

If you want to know what Hillary Clinton believes in, what she stands for, and what's in her heart, then look at what she's been fighting for her whole life: she's been fighting for people who need help.
