It’s Not Pretty When Mo Dowd Refers To Edwards As Breck Girl

When Maureen Dowd decides to diss a Democrat, one who has had presidential asspirations and was, in fact, very popular in the Nutroots prior to Barry’s Messianic ascendancy, well, you know it just can’t be good.

Dems Support Guaranteeed Substandard Health Care for All

The Democratic Party platform will include "guaranteed" health care for all, the AP is reporting today. It’s not clear how Dems plan to achieve this.  A proposal to mandate a single-payer, governmental-run system has been defeated, for now. But "guaranteed" means "guaranteed," as in "even if you refused to pay for your own health coverage, […]

Elizabeth Edwards speaks

She released a statement vowing to stand behind her man: Our family has been through a lot.

Q&A Friday #92: Should We Want High Oil Prices To “Drive Us From Oil?”

Question: “Compromise on Drilling: In today’s “Drill and Conserve“, Charles Krauthammer called for both drilling, conservation and pursuing alternative energy sources.

Q&A #92: Presidential Looks

Question: This question is for Melissa: Inevitably, presidential electoral contests will always find someone raising the issue of the overall attractiveness of the presidential candidates.

Quote of the Day from Helen Thomas, My Favorite Liberal

Q&A Friday #92: Rape And Abortion

Q&A Friday #92: Obama’s Lead

Question: “What do you think about the contention being thrown around by the left that Obama’s lead in the polls is understated because the polls use turnout assumptions that understate black and young-voter turnout this time.

Barack Obama: Uppity Or Arrogant?

“I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions.” — Barack Obama Liberals are almost always insufferably arrogant. It sort of goes with the territory.

Trendoids Begin to Move on From Enviromoonbattery

Just A Warning: I Ban “For McCain” Spam
