Ask A Stupid Question, Get A Stupid Questioner

I hope last night’s Democratic debate was the last one. Ever. I can stands so much till I can stands no more. But it really has become, as the Times notes this morning, a parody. A parody of a parody, complete with idiotic questions, followed by the attendant “insight” of the MSM pooh-bahs who have […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

My apologies for the late-edition of the round-up, today. I’ve been feeling a little off, physically, so I decided to take it easy and slept right through the time I normally prepare and post.
And, since I’m not feeling so hot, today, I’ve gotta keep the music to a light tempo: Color Me Badd […]

Who Will Endure?

I watched the debate last night between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. It was clearly the best debate between the two of them—— interesting and substantive.
Hillary Clinton was the stronger debater. She clearly showed that she is “a fighter” and that she has command of the issues. She demonstrated her foreign policy knowledge, and she […]

Circular Obama

Unfortunately I caught all of about 15 minutes of the debate last night. What I did manage to catch was the discussion between Tim Russert, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on Louis Farrakhan’s recent announcement that he was supporting Obama.
Obama drew some heat from Hillary Clinton on Obama’s waffling and circular comments on the issue. […]

More On Republicans for Obama

Dallas News reports that early voters are swarming Texas. The other day I worte about the movement of some Texas Republicans who are planning to vote for Obama in the primary and then switch back to vote for McCain in general election. Some of us are concerned about this. The Houston Chronicle has a piece on this today. […]

Superedelegates

If you haven’t seen this video of Hillary speaking at the Black State of the Union with Tavis Smiley, take a look. It explains the role of the super delegate better than anything I’ve seen. Hillary was, by the way, the only presidential candidate to speak at this event.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I need a vacation. I don’t mean, jus’ some time off. I mean a real vacation, that starts with words like “Bahamas” or “Jamaica” and ends with me nodding off after drinking too many Mojitos.
I just got done with what I like to call my “Anti-procrastination Week”. I mean, things had piled up so bad […]

Thoughts on Costumegate

Jennifer Rubin noted on Commentary on Monday that Hillary Clinton “delivered (amidst the distraction of costume-gate, which makes me think this was not an official Clinton tactic) a foreign policy address in Washington D.C. today.” (see below)
Kudos to Jennifer for getting it. There is no reason why the Clinton camp would thwart a big foreign […]

Clinton Delivers Foreign Policy Speech

Hillary Clinton delivered a foreign policy speech at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. on Monday. Joining her at the speech were “a group of senior retired military and defense officials who have endorsed her to be this nation’s next Commander-in-Chief.” They included: 
General Wesley Clark, Lt. General Joe Ballard, Major General Antonio M. Taguba, Rear […]

I’m a “Whiner”–and I Don’t Intend to Stop Whining

This primary has demonstrated nothing if it has not demonstrated how Americans view misogyny as opposed to racism. Let me begin by stating that I know that the United States is a very racist nation, and nothing I am about to say should be interpreted to mean that I think racism is not a huge […]

Do Marketing and Branding “Create” The Candidate ?

In the Jerome Armstrong post referenced by Pamela, a commenter says that ‘the worth of a candidate is measured partially by the effectiveness of their campaign’.
The WORTH of a candidate is their campaign? Has the concept of ‘governance’ simply disappeared? Have we lost sight of the fact that the nominee must first win the goddamn […]

What Jerome Said

I’m posting lite today for a multitude of reasons including pressing business matters and the fact that I have grown weary and wary of the growing the divisions amongst progressive bloggers over this primary season. There’s a lot ugliness in the news and on the blogs today and a lot of speculation surrounding a piece […]
