Essential Reading to Understanding the Political Future

28Feb09

I got into many conflicts with one of politics professors last year, and I kept on wondering why Obama kept proving me right. I remember a different, far more intelligent, professor once confessing that she thought the Baby Boomers may have actually ruined liberalism. Ambinder provides some must read context in a brilliant article:

Obama VP This Week; McCain Aug. 29

19Aug08

Drudge reports that Obama will name his VP on Wednesday. As Matt Drudge is the bane of most liberals, I’d almost expect that Obama will go ahead and name him (and it will be a him) tomorrow instead; as he may not get enough news time if he does it Thursday. Word has it that [...]

Making Sense out of FISA

26Jun08

The Huffington Post’s big headline this afternoon is how the “netroots” movement is drifting away from Obama, or Obama is drifting away from them–Uh basically, what you need to know is that Democrats are aiming yet another loaded gun at their foot right now. Maybe it’s actually an automatic rifle.
