We can't just let the kooks rule the day or threaten violence with their words. Don't leave Speaker Pelosi fearing for political violence in the streets because we have not done our job.

Despite everything, hawks rule; doves never even get the chance to take off. If you're not addicted to force (and so failure), you're simply not a part of the grand scheme of things, of the world as it is.

Rarely did a week go by during the general election that Morris predicted the 180-degree opposite of what would eventually transpire. It was astounding for its consistency.

Republican politicians all seem to be trying their hand at historic re-creationism to transform both the history and future of the Republican party into their own image.

As I read about Ann Coulter having her jaw wired shut, my thoughts turned to the election reporting and commentary. I realized that never in our history has so little been said with so many words.

Coulter's solution to Republican problems is for it to become even more extreme than it already is. It's a recipe for disaster (and hopefully one that the Republicans decide to try).

Obama's win hardly puts an end to this system of racism, but it's still momentous, because it shows us a way forward, a way to reduce if not eliminate racial injustice and inequality.

The countdown to November 4 is torturous. Everyone is worried. Everyone is losing sleep. For some people, the election can't come soon enough. But for me, I wish it would never end.

Will Obama really win this thing? And if he does, can he do much about the economy? Am I really losing my funds? I'll have to rent the Florida place. I don't need it. Will I be able to rent it?

My time in professional politics and journalism leads me to think that conceit, ambition, arrogance and greed have been exacerbated by television, the 24 hour news, starf*cker-ism, and the rise of the Internet.
