I've been out of town and haven't been able to blog, but here are my responses to the Iowa caucases on Thursday:1. I am SO glad Obama beat Clinton.2. I'm also happy that Edwards beat Clinton.3. I want Obama and Edwards to nudge Clinton right out of this thing, so we...
Well, well. The little brown one has finally toppled. Why is Michael Chertoff the most likely replacement for the attorney general position? How did that happen?As I was watching a CNN anchorwoman greet two talking heads and ask them their opinions on the Alberto...
After watching the Democratic presidential candidates in debate, hearing/reading about the candidates in debate, reading through their website and taking in what I can of the presidential race so far, at this point my vote is going to Dennis Kucinich (If the link...
Yesterday I received an email from an organizer of the local Kucinich campaign, saying that if anyone wanted to attend the Democratic debate being held in Chicago tonight, August 7th, they should email him by last night. I was scheduled to work tonight, so I didn't...
At this point of the 2004 election season, we were months away from any Democratic presidential candidate taking the lead and looking like a likely nominee. I just can't get over how ahead of schedule we are to have Obama and Clinton (and Edwards, kind of) already...
Okay, maybe I was being unrealistic by thinking that Libby would actually serve as an example of how the Bush administration has got to stop f$%*-ing with the law, the Constitution, etc, but damn. I guess the only way anyone's going to be held responsible for anything...
Michael Moore's movie runs a little over two hours, but I made it through the whole film without once having to leave the theater because of nausea! I was twenty years old the first time I noticed that seeing a movie in the theater caused me to feel queasy. It's...
Okay, I've decided to deal with the motion sickness and go see Michael Moore's new movie tonight in Evanston. Going to the movies is so unpleasant for me, the last one I saw was "An Inconvenient Truth." Probably the only movies I'll see for the rest of my life will be...
Pulling my head up out of the pastry box, I see that Michael Moore's new movie opens tomorrow. Take a look. Let's all go! Except for me since I get motion sickness in movie theaters. But since that's so bizarrely appropriate, maybe I'll go anyway and just throw up. I...
In fall 2003, twelve months before the last presidential election, the presidential campaign field was wide open. I remember because I hosted a fundraiser for Congressman Dennis Kucinich and felt very committed to his campaign. Why not? Anything could have happened at...
On Wednesday night I happened to catch the final episode of the latest "Bachelor" reality TV show on ABC. In this version of the romantic reality tv show, the "Bachelor" was Byron Velvick, a professional bass fisherman and as usual over the past few months he has had...
Okay, now that Bush has been re-elected and the world has ended, etc. and I've gone through my despair-and-kleenex stage and then had my inspirational moment of "I helped make Wisconsin vote for Kerry. I am powerful. What can I do next?" it's time to actually start...
Look at this: because two election races have yet to be decided in Louisiana, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is pushing hard to get these last two Democratic hopefuls into Congress. Of course, they want donations, but they're willing to pay all food...
I can't believe it's been two weeks since the election and I'm just finding out about this site www.sorryeverybody.com. The goal of the website is for us Americans to apologize, in photos, to the to the rest of the world for failing to get Bush out of office. Anyone...
